At the top of each hour the expert angler reels in his big catch on these German eight-day cuckoo clocks. The fisherman is outdoors by a small pond surrounded by hand-carved trees and his trusty dog, Wirbelwind. The cottage has two windows with wooden shutters and a decorative bell tower on the top of the shingled sloping roof.

On every hour the man raises and lowers his fishing pole as the cuckoo bird cuckoos the hour. (Example: At one o'clock the bird will cuckoo once. At eight o'clock the bird will cuckoo eight times).

There is also a manual night shut off switch that allows you to mute the cuckoo sound and stop the fisherman. Two cast iron pinecone weights are suspended beneath the case by two separate brass chains. The hand-made pendulum continuously swings back and forth controlling the timing of the clock.

These cuckoo clocks feature an eight-day brass mechanical German Regula movement that are wound once per eight days by pulling the chains which raises the two pine cone weights. One weight powers the time and the other weight powers the cuckoo, cuckoo call, and the fisherman.

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.
