Cuckoo clocks - 8-days-mechanism with music
Info
These 8-days music cuckoo clocks have to be wound up once a week. In addition each model has a shut off lever for the cuckoo and music. The cuckoo is calling every half an hour. After the cuckoo's call on the full hour you can hear the music playing. Two different melodies are changing every hour.
What is so special about a cuckoo clock with an 8-day movement?
The Black Forest clock looks back on a long tradition. The traditional clock is made to run by a mechanical movement. Mechanical cuckoo clocks are therefore the classic clocks from the Black Forest and have been manufactured in this way for more than 200 years. In contrast to a battery-operated quartz cuckoo clock, a clock with a mechanical movement must be wound by hand.
Cuckoo clocks with a 1-day movement only have a power reserve of one day. The situation is different with an 8-day movement: you only have to wind such a cuckoo clock once a week. This principle is also illustrated by the name 8-day movement.
Your advantage: You don't have to remember to wind the clock every day and your cuckoo clock will still always show you the exact time, accompanied by the cuckoo call and beautiful melodies.
How to wind a cuckoo clock with an 8-day movement?
In a cuckoo clock with an 8-day movement, the weights of the clock - in the form of pine cones - are significantly larger than in models with a 1-day movement. To wind the clock, operate the chain located next to the weights and simply move it downwards. Please also bear this in mind if you are attaching your cuckoo clock with 8-day movement to the wall. A suitable height is required for this.
Fireworks for the senses: musical accompaniment and night switch-off
Let the cuckoo tell you the time and regularly experience the exciting scenery with your cuckoo clock with 8-day movement when the little bird moves out of its little house. When you go to bed at night, you can also send the cuckoo of your cuckoo clock to sleep.
On many Black Forest clocks from the Eble Clock Park, the little figures or a mill wheel, for example, start to turn in time with the cuckoo call. The visual spectacle of the cuckoo clock is complemented by a musical performance - in the form of music following the cuckoo call. Alternatively, we also offer cuckoo clocks with an 8-day movement without music in our online shop.
