Like most cuckoo clocks from Germany, the chalet style is centered around the 'Black Forest chalet' theme. Such traditional house types were common to the alpine mountain regions in Germany and traditionally built of wood and stone. However, this makes them a favorite theme for many cuckoo clock manufacturers, who adorn them with common decorations such as pine trees, cheerful animals, log stacks, mill wheels and other delightfully iconic ornaments and characters from the region.

In addition, this cuckoo clock has an automatic nighttime shut-off that works via a light sensor and turns off the sound when the room is dark.
