Hekas Chalet Style One Day Musical Cuckoo Clock with Moving Waterwheel & Wood Chopper

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. There is a sound shut-off device beneath the base of the cuckoo clock. Pushing the lever up disables the cuckoo birds cuckoo, the wood choppper, the waterwheel, the dancers and the music. Pulling the lever down enables the wood chopped, waterwheel and dancers to move and allows the music and cuckoo.  

Three cast iron pine cone weights are suspended beneath the clock case by three separate brass chains. The hand-made 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 pendulum up or down the pendulum stick. Sliding the pendulum weight down causes the cuckoo clock to run slightly slower, while sliding it up makes the cuckoo clock run slightly faster.

The 30 hour all brass mechanical "Regula" movement (which is produced in the Black Forest of Germany) is wound quickly and easily once per day by simply pulling on the chains to raise the three pine cone weights. One weight powers the time, one powers the music box and the other weight powers the wood chopper, the waterwheel, the dancers, the cuckoo and cuckoo call.
