CARE & MAINTENANCE
Black Forest cuckoo clocks are robust, long-lasting timepieces. Occasionally wipe the case with a dry, soft cloth. The movement should be cleaned and oiled by a specialist every 5 years. Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to protect the natural wood.

Everyday Life in the Black Forest, in Miniature
In front of a half-timbered house with a deep, sweeping shingle roof, a woodcutter tirelessly swings his axe – this clock tells the story of simple, honest life in the Black Forest. Every detail of the chalet is handmade and lovingly painted: from the hand-shingled roof to the red shutters with their flower boxes and the stones in the yard. A miniature world that brings the warmth of a bygone era into your home.
The Woodcutter at Work
The clock's main figure doesn't stand still: in time with the movement, the woodcutter raises and lowers his axe over the chopping block – a moving element that brings the chalet to life. Beside him, freshly split wood is already neatly stacked, as if he'd been working half the day.
A Yard Full of Life
Life in the countryside continues around the house: a white goose waddles past the well, real stones lie among tufts of grass, and two dark green fir trees frame the scene. Above the finely crafted half-timbered gable with its balcony, the little red door opens on the hour – and the cuckoo calls out the time across the yard.
The Mechanical 1-Day Movement
Inside works a purely mechanical one-day movement made in Germany. The pinecone weights need to be pulled up just once a day – that's all this clock requires. The cuckoo calls the hour on every full hour; the manual night shut-off lets you silence it at any time.
