The Woodcutter’s Rhythm: 8-Day Black Forest Chalet Cuckoo Clock by Hekas
This handcrafted 8-day chalet cuckoo clock by Hekas beautifully captures the hardworking spirit of the Black Forest. Featuring a hand-carved figure of a man chopping wood, this traditional German cuckoo clock brings to life a timeless alpine scene filled with warmth and craftsmanship.
Every half and full hour, the wooden cuckoo bird appears to announce the time, while the woodchopper lifts his axe in sync with each call. The chalet is detailed with green shutters, pine trees, and a red-brown shingled roof, all carved and painted by skilled artisans in Germany. With an 8-day mechanical movement, this clock combines heritage and function, requiring winding only once per week.
Q: How often does this clock need to be wound?
A: The 8-day mechanical movement needs winding only once a week. Pull the chains gently to lift the pinecone weights and keep the clock running smoothly.
Q: Does this clock play music?
A: No, this model focuses on the natural cuckoo call and the animated woodchopper figure instead of a musical movement.
Q: Can I silence the cuckoo call at night?
A: Yes, this clock includes a manual night shut-off so you can silence the cuckoo whenever you prefer.
