Know before you buy
No, both the clock movement and the animated figures are powered by the same single AA battery.
Yes, this piece is authentically crafted in Germany, adhering to the traditional standards of Black Forest clockmaking.
Battery life depends on the brand used, but because the movement powers both the timekeeping and the animation, you should expect to replace the AA battery approximately every 6 to 12 months.
As a battery-operated quartz clock, it operates much more quietly than traditional mechanical cuckoo clocks, though you may hear a very faint sound from the animation mechanism.
The guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, ensuring the clock movement and animation features function correctly for the first year of ownership.
