The Craftsman’s Timekeeper: 8-Day Black Forest Chalet Cuckoo Clock by Hekas
This finely handcrafted 8-day chalet cuckoo clock by Hekas brings the charm of traditional Black Forest life into your home. Featuring a moving woodchopper, this mechanical cuckoo clock captures a peaceful mountain scene where craftsmanship and nature meet in harmony.

With its manual night shut-off and weekly winding schedule, this 8-day mechanical clock combines timeless design with enduring practicality, making it a true heirloom piece from the heart of the Black Forest.
