Know before you buy
This clock features a one-day mechanical movement, which means you will need to wind it once every 24 hours to keep it running accurately.
No, this is a traditional mechanical clock. It relies entirely on its internal weights and pendulum system, so no batteries or electrical outlets are needed.
This specific model does not feature a manual night-shutoff switch. Because it is a traditional mechanical design, the cuckoo will sound on the hour as long as the clock is wound.
No, this clock is designed exclusively for indoor use. The wood construction and delicate mechanical movement are sensitive to temperature fluctuations and humidity found outdoors.
The clock stands 11 3/4 inches tall. Because it uses a swinging pendulum and hanging weights, ensure you mount it on a sturdy wall with enough clearance below for the weights to descend as the clock runs.
