Albert Schwab 8-Day Handcrafted Black Forest Music Cuckoo Clock with Animated Music Band Theme

Invite the blissful Black Forest life and tradition into your space with this special music-themed timepiece by one of its most famous clockmakers. Music has always been an intrinsic part of the foresters’ vibrant heritage where many children are taught to play an instrument at an early age and village bands comprise an essential part of virtually every local festival from parades to carnivals to Oktoberfest to Christmas, livening hearts with their cheerful melodies. This cuckoo clock is sure to inspire nostalgic memories of these very special Alpine celebrations that have come to define the beloved Black Forest culture.

The centerpiece of this clock is the dexterously-carved and painted miniature four-piece band of village musicians who begin to turn from side to side whenever the music box begins to play. In fact, the entire clock front becomes a hive of activity whenever the clock strikes the hour, with the bell-ringer ringing the bell to the right, the mill wheel revolving to the left, and the traditional dancing figurines rotating to the merry music on the balcony above.

The replica of the chalet house is beautiful in design and construction beginning from its traditional low sloping roof that was built to protect the front and sides of the farmhouse from the harsh winters. Its decorative panels and inlays are both rich and unique in style as are the miniature windows with their individual coverings. To the left of the house is the ubiquitous farm mill wheel, and to the right of it stands a little chapel that used to be a fairly common sight on farmsteads that were isolated from each other. The distinct antique-style dial complements the polished walnut-toned house, completing an extremely elegant cuckoo clock exterior, while underneath it are elaborate carvings of endemic forest leaves that stylishly embellish its base. This model carries with it the firm assurance of design, craftsmanship, quality, and service from one of the most established manufacturers in the business.
