Eight-Day Musical Cuckoo Clock MD892-13

These German eight-day musical cuckoo clocks feature a man chopping wood in front of his cottage. At the top of every hour the man chops his axe, the waterwheel turns, the dancers revolve, and it plays one of two different twenty-eight note melodies, Edelweiss and the Happy Wanderer.

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

Cuckoo bird calls out the half-hour and counts the hour by cuckooing once per hour. Includes a sound shut-off device beneath the base that disables the cuckoo birds calls, the woodchopper, waterwheel, and the music.

The eight-day German Regula movement is wound once per eight days by raising the three pine cone weights. One weight powers the time, one weight powers the Swiss music box, and the other weight powers the cuckoo bird and cuckoo call, the band, and waterwheel.
