What is a cuckoo clock with quartz movement?
Quartz movement refers simply to """"""""battery operated"""""""". In contrast to mechanical 1-day and 8-day clocks, a quartz movement clock does not need to be manually wound, but always works until the battery runs out, which is about a year for most models, although this can vary depending on the model. Quartz drive controls both the timekeeping and the cuckoo bird sound/clockwork. For some models, however, it also controls the movement of the dancers, the music, and the water wheel and other animations, etc. Basically, we recommend cuckoo clocks with quartz movement for people who might forget to wind their clocks or who want a hassle-free option.
What does, night shut-off, or light sensor mean?
The majority of cuckoo clocks, whether mechanical or battery-powered, have a night shut-off feature, either manual or with a light sensor. Which means that with either option, that you can control when the clock makes sounds.
Automatic cuckoo clocks have a manual, night shut-off, which is usually a lever with 2 positions - sound on or sound off.
Cuckoo clocks powered by batteries usually have an automatic night shut-off, also known as a light sensor, which senses light conditions and disables the sound when the lights are off or it is very dark. A number of models have volume control, and the ability to turn off the sound between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m.
