Click to enlarge image(s)
This one day chalet 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 measures 10 inches.
The cuckoo clock case features a beer drinker sitting at a table, a hand-carved tree and, many cut logs and an axe.
Two cast iron pine cone weights are suspended beneath the clock case by two separate brass chains.
On the top of every hour the beer drinker raises and lowers his mug while the cuckoo bird cuckoos.
On every hour the cuckoo bird emerges from a swinging door above the clock dial and counts the hour by cuckooing once per hour.
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.
