These German one-day musical cuckoo clocks feature a man chopping a log and a moving waterwheel. Beneath the shingled roof you'll find several hand-made figurines including a dog and a deer. On the top of every hour and on the half-hour the woodchopper chops wood and the waterwheel turns. Also plays music on the hour & half-hour alternating between two different twenty-two note melodies: Edelweiss & The Happy Wanderer.

Three cast iron pinecone weights are suspended beneath the clock case by three separate brass chains. The hand-made pendulum continuously swings back and forth which controls the timing of the clock.

Cuckoo bird calls out the half-hour and counts the hours. Sound shut-off device disables the cuckoo bird's calls, the woodchopper, waterwheel, and the music.

The 30-hour mechanical German Regula movement in these cuckoo clocks are wound once per day by raising the three pinecone weights. One weight powers the time, one weight powers the music, and the other weight powers the cuckoo bird and cuckoo call, woodchopper, and waterwheel.

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.
