Schneider 8-Day Black Forest Chalet Cuckoo Clock with Forest Animals and Waterwheel
This handcrafted 8-day chalet cuckoo clock by Anton Schneider beautifully captures the charm of the Black Forest wilderness. Designed as a rustic mountain cottage surrounded by animals and pine trees, it showcases the finest German craftsmanship and woodland artistry.
The chalet is finished in natural wood tones, accented with red shutters and a steeply shingled roof. Two large carved fir trees frame the house, while a lively scene unfolds at the base: a squirrel nibbles on an acorn, a deer grazes peacefully, and rabbits rest near river stones. Each animal is hand-painted and positioned to create a lifelike woodland tableau.
As the music plays, a waterwheel gently turns beside the chalet, and the balcony dancers spin in traditional attire to the tunes of “Edelweiss” and “The Happy Wanderer.” The cuckoo bird appears at the hour and half-hour, calling with a distinct, hand-carved charm.
This authentic German mechanical cuckoo clock combines movement, music, and nature-inspired design to create a timeless celebration of Black Forest craftsmanship.
Q: What makes this cuckoo clock unique?
A: This model features an elaborate woodland scene with multiple hand-carved animals, trees, and a functioning waterwheel, creating one of Schneider’s most detailed chalet designs.
Q: Does the waterwheel move?
A: Yes, the waterwheel gently turns each time the music plays, enhancing the forest ambiance.
Q: How often does the clock need to be wound?
A: This 8-day mechanical clock requires winding only once per week.
