These finely carved German one-day cuckoo clocks have seven maple leaves and three birds.

Two cast iron pinecone weights are suspended beneath the clock case by two separate brass chains. The hand-made pendulum continuously swings back and forth controlling the timing of the clock.

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 in these cuckoo clocks, which are produced in the Black Forest of Germany, are wound once per day by raising the two pinecone 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.
