One Day Cuckoo Clock with Five Maple Leaves & One Bird

One Day Cuckoo Clock with Five Maple Leaves & One Bird

4.5 out of 5 stars

Price: $238.00

This traditionally styled German cuckoo clock features wooden hands, a wood dial with Roman numerals, and a warm light yellow hand-painted and hand-carved cuckoo bird. The cuckoo clock case is surrounded by five deeply carved maple leaves with a single hand-carved bird seated at the peak of the roof. Two cast iron pine cone weights are suspended beneath the clock case by two separate brass chains.

The hand-carved maple leaf pendulum continuously swings back and forth which controls the timing of the clock. If your cuckoo clock’s timing should ever need adjustment, you can control the speed of your clock by sliding the maple leaf up or down the pendulum stick. Sliding the maple leaf down causes the cuckoo clock to run slightly slower, while sliding the maple leaf up makes the cuckoo clock run slightly faster.

On every hour the cuckoo bird emerges from a swinging door above the clock dial and counts the hour by cuckooing once per hour. (Example: At one o’clock the bird will cuckoo once. At eight o’clock the bird will cuckoo eight times) The half hour is announced with one cuckoo call.

The 30 hour all brass mechanical Regula movement, which is produced in the Black Forest of Germany, is wound once per day by raising the two pine cone weights. One weight powers the time and the other weight powers the cuckoo and cuckoo call.

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.

This review is from: One Day Cuckoo Clock with Five Maple Leaves & One Bird

Got this for my wife for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. The craftsmanship is incredible, it keeps time very well, and it’s an authentic Black Forest Cuckoo Clock.

The only con, and it’s a very small gripe, is there is a bright-green sticker on the side of the clock that doesn’t come off easily and is very noticable.

German Restaurants Wisconsin Offers German Heritage and Great Food via Facebook

While the arrival of immigrants from Germany in the 1800’s shaped Wisconsin’s history in many forms and fashions, their legacy of their Deutschland roots are still very influential today and can be seen all across Wisconsin in the form of German Restaurants that Wisconsin offers, particularly in Wisconsin’s largest city of Milwaukee, that was once widely known as the “Munich of the West.”

German Restaurants in Wisconsin these days are becoming popular again as Social gathering venues for friends, families, social groups and businesses.

Call it the Gemüetlichkeit effect as patrons seem to really appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, the good hearty German food, genuine beer and playful Oompah music while enjoying the coziness, heritage and history that often permeates their surroundings.

With the rapid explosion of social communities like facebook, it is now only a click away to tap into a page that features these German Restaurants within Wisconsin that’s now all in one location where one can easily browse the WALL and check out the latest localized German Restaurant news, reviews and special event information and promotions directly from the German Restaurants themselves.

You can also easily tap into a German niche related Amazon Storefront that’s conveniently
located on the WELCOME/willkommen page to easily purchase any number of items including Oktoberfest hats, dirndls, bier steins, cuckoo clocks, hummell collectibles or even bratwurst!

German Restaurants Wisconsin showcases a feature time to time within facebook on:

  • German Edelweiss Restaurant
  • Essen Haus
  • Hofbräu – Old German Beer Hall
  • Weissgerber’s Gasthaus
  • Kegel’s Inn
  • House of Gerhard
  • Schwefel’s Restaurant
  • Old Bavarian
  • Lorelei Inn
  • Bier Stube Von Rothenburg

Certainly during the fall or Christmas season is when Wisconsin’s German heritage may be its most visible to anyone taking notice.

With all the colorful Oktoberfest & Christmas celebrations taking place in cities throughout the state during September thru December, it’s easy to identify the German influence and heritage everywhere you look.

Just remember, it only takes a quick visit to any of Wisconsin’s German Restaurants any month of the year, or a quick click on the German Restaurants Wisconsin facebook fan page to really get your German heritage fix (for the moment) fulfilled.

Come visit soon… you’ll really LIKE us either way!

Authenticating your Backyard Biergarten with Outdoor Signs

I really don’t know if “German themed” outdoor signs (or decor plaques) actually authenticates your Backyard Biergarten – but I do know it can surely validate it’s ambiance by giving it yet another visual stimulate. 

Today a growing number of homeowners of German Heritage are enhancing their outdoor living space by turning their backyards into Biergartens (it’s just not about beer either) as a cheerful gathering spot designed for comfort, relaxing, entertaining, fellowship and coziness.

German Restaurants and upstart prototype commercial Biergartens across the USA are doing the exact same thing. 

The Germans have a word for that “homey” goodwill feeling – it’s called Gemütlichkeit. 

By creating your own Backyard Biergarten, you have the freedom to accentuate it in a variety of ways from grills to beautiful floral gardens, ponds, gnomes, patio umbrellas, flags, custom made signs and even a variety of German themed birdhauses. 

I’ll get to each of these items in upcoming blog post. 

A well thought out Backyard Biergarten can become a real conversation piece as it showcases your proud German Heritage to family members, neighbors and all visitors. 

Signs are a must to add to the ambiance of your Biergarten. You can now purchase several of theses German themed outdoor signs or decor plaques online from select craftsmen within the USA as they are busily creating and getting them on their respective websites to market. I know for a fact that the demand is high because of its German heritage related.

As a fun alternative to purchase these signs, it’s also quite fun to actually create, build and paint your own sign(s) with family and friends. 

Most certainly you would want to create colorful signs that would read like: 

  • Biergarten
  • Willkommen
  • Gemütlichkeit Gardens
  • Gnome Sweet Home
  • Oktoberfest
  • Free Bier Tomorrow
  • Got A Little German In You?
  • Prost 

This is to just show you a few examples that you can purchase outright mostly already pre-made, or you can easily create yourself. 

There are craftsman sign makers out there that will allow you also to “personalize” your signs as well to create something personally unique like: 

  • Brian’s Biergarten
  • Willkommen to our Haus
  • Hingst Haus estbl.1990 

Of course you can find all sorts of German Beer/Bier and Oktoberfest themed signs, plaques, posters and simple cut-outs online as well with many of them made out of tin, metal, wood or plastic.  

Biergarten Accessories is a good place to start looking for signs and pretty much anything else Biergarten related as new items are being added weekly. 

What’s in a sign? 

It’s all about creating German Heritage Ambiance for all to enjoy isn’t it?
 

Prost!
