Product Description
This traditionally styled German cuckoo clock features wooden hands, a wood dial with Roman numerals, and a warm light yellow hand-painted and hand-carved cuckoo bird. The cuckoo clock case is surrounded by five deeply carved maple leaves with a single hand-carved bird seated at the peak of the roof. Two cast iron pine cone weights are suspended beneath the clock case by two seperate brass chains. The hand-carved maple leaf pendulum continously swings back and forth which controls the timing of the clock. If your cuckoo clock's timing should ever need adjustment, you can control the speed of your clock by sliding the maple leaf up or down the pendulum stick. Sliding the maple leaf down causes the cuckoo clock to run slightly slower, while sliding the maple leaf up makes the cuckoo clock run slightly faster. On every hour the cuckoo bird emerges from a swinging door above the clock dial and counts the hour by cuckooing once per hour. (Example: At one o'clock the bird will cuckoo once. At eight o'clock the bird will cuckoo eight times) The half hour is announced with one cuckoo call. The 30 hour all brass mechanical Regula movement, which is produced in the Black Forest of Germany, is wound once per day by raising the two pine cone weights. One weight powers the time and the other weight powers the cuckoo and cuckoo call. *Great effort has been made to portray each cuckoo clock as accurately as possible. As with many handmade items, the exact coloration and carving may vary slightly from clock to clock. We consider this to be a special part of their character.

It is exactly what I have been looking for for several years, and the price was great. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful EXCELLENT, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: River City Clocks One Day Hand-Carved Cuckoo Clock with Five Maple Leaves & One Bird - 9 Inches Tall - Model # 11-09 (Kitchen) I bought this cuckoo clock for my mom and dads anniversary and they loved it!!! It's very unique and full of character!! It does cuckoo every hour and half hour and there is no "silent mode" that some people have mentioned. The carving looks excellent on the clock and I'm glad I bought it!! The chains on the clock are also really long, so you have to be sure to hang it up high on the wall. 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful  Clock will not keep running..., By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: River City Clocks One Day Hand-Carved Cuckoo Clock with Five Maple Leaves & One Bird - 9 Inches Tall - Model # 11-09 (Kitchen) I bought this clock for a Valentines Day gift for my wife. I chose this clock because the reviews were all 5 star and the craftsmanship looked very good. Clock does look nice and have a perfect cuckoo sound. But I can't make the pendulum run for over 30 seconds. I have adjusted the pendulum from top to bottom, starting it in 1/4" ever widening swings but still no luck. It sounds more like a heartbeat than an even tick-tock no matter what I try. Took the back off to try to inspect chains and they appear to be on the gears and the clock still winds fine. I purchase A LOT of items from Amazon, largely based on the reviews, but this is the first time I have felt obligated to leave a negative comment about an item. Maybe I just got a bad one? Maybe I will figure it out? Maybe I will have to test the 2 year warranty? We are both disappointed with the operation of this clock. We are anxious to hear it operate and are hoping that the inconvenience of returning for repair or replacement will... Read more |
