8-Day Black Forest Chalet Cuckoo Clock with Dancers, Waterwheel, and Bell Tower
This handcrafted 8-day Black Forest cuckoo clock is a true celebration of dance and tradition. The chalet features a hand-shingled roof decorated with miniature stone accents, colorful floral trim, and a festive balcony adorned with painted bouquets. From beneath the gable, the cuckoo bird emerges to call on the hour and half-hour, while dancers in traditional attire spin joyfully through the open terrace doors to the music box melodies.
The base of the clock continues the lively theme. A quartet of dancers sways in front of the dial, framed by green shuttered windows and a floral-decked fence. On one side, a rustic waterwheel turns gently in rhythm with the music, surrounded by fir trees and a woodpile. On the opposite end, a woman in traditional Black Forest costume and a red Bollenhut hat pulls the bell cord, setting the tower bell in motion to match the cuckoo’s call. Every detail, from stone walls to floral bouquets and carved trim, contributes to the clock’s festive charm.
With alternating melodies (Edelweiss and The Happy Wanderer), animated dancers, and an automatic night shut-off, this chalet cuckoo clock blends artistry with function. Optional carved wooden weights are available to enhance its traditional appearance, making this timepiece both a decorative centerpiece and a lasting heirloom.
