This piece is as interesting as it is beautiful. A Black Forest chalet, or cottage is overrun by pines of the forest. Under a hollowed stump, two little rabbits huddle from the cold. When the clock strikes the hour or half-hour the door opens, a cuckoo appears and calls along with the sound of a waterfall and other birds of the forest. After the cuckoo calls, music plays from the Swiss-made mechanical music box. This piece is unusual, as it combines the accuracy and ease of a quartz movement, along with the deep and rich sound of a real mechanical music box mechanism. The sound is created by an actual tiny vibrating pieces of steel. Even the packaging has old-world charm, as only paper is used. The factory packing is all made with renewable materials. This clock makes a great gift for the young and old alike. Perfect for modern or traditional decor! This lovely clock is distributed by Sternreiter and North Coast Imports. It is currently one of the only shelf-model cuckoo clocks available.
