August Schwer 8-Day Black Forest Handcrafted Cuckoo Clock with Moving Woodchopper and Large Christmas Trees

An August Schwer creation that spotlights the iconic tall and stately evergreens–the most vivid reminders of the perennial allure of the Black Forest. This is one of the few models of cuckoo clocks that is lavishly embellished with such a large number of these splendid trees in varying sizes, producing a very charming and authentic forest aura around it.

The intricately designed and hand-sculpted chalet is a miniature version of the traditional Black Forest farmhouse–complete with decorative paneling, pretty curtained windows, and flower boxes. The Black Forest sloping hand-thatched roof is a highly-distinctive and unusual feature of this model.

Its base depicts the typical forest lodge surrounding with neatly stacked piles of wood in front, a wooden bench on its side, and the iconic evergreens around it. The smaller firs in front are a nostalgic reminder of the trees that are decorated during the Advent season as Christmas trees.

The woodchopper is an important figure in the Black Forest because of his invaluable contribution to its society and economy, so the highly-detailed and handpainted life-like figurine is fitting tribute to his service. An interesting feature of this clock is its animation: the woodcutter rhythmically chops wood every time the clock chimes and the cuckoo proudly announces the hour.

This clock is designed to delight people of all ages with its colorful, authentic, animated depiction of the traditional German forest atmosphere and life. It also carries the coveted VdS certification that ensures you of the highest standards of Black Forest design, craftsmanship, and quality every time.
