Nice clock but overpriced, March 1, 2012

This is a beautiful clock but I must say I expected more. Having another disney clock in my house that has movement and 3 whole different sentences and that I bought for half the price of this one, I was a bit disappointed when I received this clock. Don’t get me wrong! It’s still a very beautiful clock but definitely overpriced. There are some setbacks IMHO:
1. Tinkerbell that serves as cucoo is so, so small that is difficult to recognize her!;
2. The display of the clock is white with some colorful characters and the hands are thin and gold in color. It’s very difficult to see the time from a certain distance;
3. The only sound this clock makes when the time strikes is a kind of a magic wand sound. Although they let you know this, I was nevertheless dissapointed.
The clock arrived in pristine conditions, quick delivery and very well packed.

One Day Cuckoo Clock with Five Maple Leaves & One Bird

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.

Great Product, Beautiful, January 11, 2007

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.
