This is one of the cheapest cuckoo clocks on the market today. This plastic Chalet cuckoo clock is made as a novelty item for a childrens play room. At the top of the hour the cuckoo will emerge from the door at the top and call the hour to the sound of running water in the background. Moving Pendulum and angel musicians.

I made the case for this clock out of solid fiddle-back Maple, Cherry, and Black Walnut. The hands are Cherry. The pendulum was made of Cherry, Black Walnut, and Abalone shell. The only parts I did not make are the all wood vinage whistles(with recovered bellows), the gong(2 3"70mm new), the vintage dial, the movment(cuckoo clock mfg. co.), the chains and weights. I cleaned, oiled and adjusted the movement. The Maple face piece is only 4 1/4 inches wide by 4 3/4 inches on the ends and 6 inches tall in the center. Over all it is 9 1/4 inches tall from the top of the Walnut crest to the very bottom of the Walnut scrollwork. It now keeps perfect time and is a unique piece designed by myself.

Model #8225 Cuckoo Clock with Hand-carved Vines 19" H x 14.5" W x 7.5" D 2-year warranty Made in Germany Wooden, animated cuckoo bird Hand carved 8 days on one winding Wooden hands, numbers, and bird Shut-off switch Official Black Forest Clock certified by the VDS A Romba original! Exquisitly hand-carved cuckoo clock with leaves and vines. 8 Day German Regula movement with gong and cuckoo on the hour and half-hour. Wooden dial, hands, numerals and cuckoo bird. Antique stain, night shut-off and 2 Year warranty. Made by Rombach & Haas. This clock shows an amazingly florid and detailed carving of leaves and vines completely surrounding the clock. When the clock strikes the hour or half-hour the door opens, a cuckoo appears and calls along with the clock's gong strike. This piece features wooden hands and numbers. This clock is hand made in the Black Forest of Germany. The mechanical brass movement is driven by two weights and time escapes with the tick of a traditional pendulum. The cuckoo call sound is made by two wooden whistles with bellows inside the clock case. 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 clock is by Rombach und Haas and is available thru Cuckoo Kingdom, Inc. If you like this clock, be sure to also check out model 1250 and 8250.

Movement marked DRGM (Deutsches Reich Gebrauchmuster) which dates it to before 1945. I bought it online as"tested,working great". It did not even chime when the hands were turned. I had to dismantle the entire clock, clean, oil, and adjust the movement and reassemble everything. The crest needed the two loops replaced that holds it to the roofline(it had one large staple in one side). It also needed the bellows releathered and a matching minute hand was replaced by me. It is a 3 train, turntable, large fan, lyre type count wheel movement with a Thornes music movement. These are quite rare and hard to find. The weights are quite heavy and only run the clock for one day. This one is fully adjusted now and oiled ready for many more cuckoos. The little people come out every 30 minutes to dance around twice, hand in hand, before going back inside waiting to celebrate the next half hour. The case is 19 1/2" by 13 3/4". It has a nice large pendulum with a very long swing. You can see it dwarfs the 9" cuckoo that is hanging beside it for the moment.

This is the cuckoo clock after restoration. i put in new bronze bushings, new bellows, new bellow lift wires, and the wire gong attached to the back. before you leave a comment saying that it sounds horrible, just remember, the camera is crappy quality, and the cuckoo clock is very, very old.

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow video of a travel blog to Triberg, Germany by TravelPod blogger Laytonandjana. See this TripWow and more at tripwow.tripadvisor.com Triberg, World's Biggest Cuckoo Clock "Triberg was cute the minute we pulled into the small town. Cuckoo clock stores were everywhere and the "i" was super easy to find! So, we parked and Layton and Jana went to find a place to stay. We left the parents at the shopping. Before we walked out of the store, Jim & Willa Jana AND Judy had bought clocks and were shipping them home! WJ and Jim had to carry the weights for the clock they bought!!! Crazy! The town was sort of dead at night, but we were able to find a place to serve us our usual schnitzel and wurst and yes....desserts! The next morning we visited the World's largest cuckoo clock and even got to go inside the working parts which was pretty cool. We also went to the town hall to see some wood carvings that were pretty random. (We learned that town hall is rathaus in German.) Then, we drove up to the wasserfall (waterfall) which is Germany 's largest waterfall. We treated ourselves with lunch and the traditional Black Forrest cake at Schafer Cafe who has been making it from a recipe that was created in 1905! It was none of our FAVORITES but it was really yummy. RANDOM Layton , Judy and Jana got a lesson on "real" cuckcoo clocks. We found out that traditional cuckcoo clocks have a specific bird. Who knew?! JUDY'S ADDITIONS I'm actually writing this from home where I ...

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow video of a travel blog to Lake Titisee, Germany by TravelPod blogger Brianc. See this TripWow and more at tripwow.tripadvisor.com Cuckoo clock land "FRIDAY, 22nd September Perfect blues skies as we drove out of Strasbourg but then the fog came down and we saw little of the drive south to Colmar along a very busy highway dotted with the headlights of the oncoming traffic. [I have always been of the opinion that if you cannot see a car approaching in broad daylight without it having its headlights on then you should not be driving a car. On principle I, therefore, rarely put my headlights on during the day. Following a vehicle with the rear red lights on can create confusion if and when that vehicle brakes. On the continent for reasons that elude me 80% of the motorists have their lights on at all times. There are rules in Italy where it is compulsory to have them on when on an autostrade. It is also necessary in the many tunnels in the mountainous areas of southern Europe...although those tunnels are often well lit. In fog it would make more sense to have sidelights on but not around here...full headlights were ablaze. If headlights have to be on then the Americans have the best system. Their new cars are fitted with headlights that automatically switch on at all times but keep the rear lights switched off.] We took the road off to Haut Koenigsbourg with the intention of finding the castle of the same name. The road, which until now had been level ...
