This eight day Black Forest musical cuckoo clock features a blacksmith hammering in front of a cottage. The top of the chimney has a seagull nest holding two chicks and their mother At the top of every hour the man swings his hammer up and down, the waterwheel turns, the dancers revolve, and the clock plays one of two different twenty-eight note melodies, Edelweiss and the Happy Wanderer. 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. 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 blacksmith, waterwheel, and the music. Pulling the lever down enables the blacksmith, the waterwheel to move and allows the music and cuckoo. The eight day Regula movement is wound once per eight days by raising the three pine cone weights. One weight powers the time, one weight powers the Swiss music box, and the other weight powers the cuckoo bird and cuckoo call, the band, and waterwheel. *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.

What is the lead time on my order being shipped?It is our goal to ship your order as soon as possible. Typically our turnaround is 24-36 hours to ship your order. If you have a request for a rush, please send an email noting your shipping needs and we will do our best to accommodate your shipping time frame, however we provide no guarantees aside from what is noted above.Although most orders ship within 24-36 hours, note that business days are Monday - Friday and do not include Saturdays, Sundays or U.S. Federal Holidays.When calculating the transit time, the day the order is placed or the day that the package is shipped does not count as a transit day. For example, if an order were to be placed on Tuesday, the order would likely ship on Wednesday or Thursday. The transit time countdown begins on the day following the pickup from our warehouse. Thus, if a box is shipped to an address that requires four days of transit time, and the order were to be shipped on Wednesday, the order would arrive the following Tuesday (transit days: Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday). If you have a specific day you need your order to arrive, please send an email noting your needs so that we can confirm if the package will arrive on time.At times for orders with an expedited shipping method selected such as UPS 2nd Day or 3rd Day, we might send a courtesy email if an order is placed on a Thursday or Friday so as to request confirmation if the buyer still wants the order shipped in view of the transit times noted above (in the event the buyer expects delivery to be made on Friday or the weekend). If a response is not received at once, the order will still be shipped so as to accommodate the shipping method selected by the buyer and all normal shipping and returns policies apply.
When USPS Priority Mail is selected, an approximate 2-3 day transit time can be expected. Note that the USPS Mail does not provide a guarantee for their transit time standard options of Priority and First Class USPS Mail. Rather, the USPS transit times are estimates (although they are typically very reliable). If a guaranteed transit time is needed, the UPS 2nd Day or UPS 3rd Day option should be selected.When UPS Ground is selected, please refer to the transit times pictured on the chart listed below.
