This cuckoo clock with modern quality quartz movement, is of a workmanship and carving quality of each part hand carved and of the highest quality. On the top of the house is a bird carved by hand and the 2 maple leaves are colored with edelweiss, instead 2 other leaves along with the pendulum are decorated with a gentian flower, typical of the Dolomite mountains. The mechanism, which works with ordinary AA batteries in automatic mode, is of absolute precision and programmed to bring out the cuckoo every hour or every half hour, which can also be turned off at will. For the night, instead, we have installed a special laser sensor that automatically turns off the bird's song and the 12 different typical melodies of the Black Forest. This cuckoo clock is the best gift for Christmas for your entire family.
