Description

Open your home to the magic of the Dolomites with the "Heidi" Cuckoo Clock, a masterpiece of mechanics and sculpture crafted by artisans from Val Gardena. This magnificent reproduction of an authentic alpine chalet, 21 cm tall, captures the essence of mountain life with astonishing richness of detail.

The wooden structure, skillfully carved to replicate the planks of the cabin and the roof tiles, frames a dark dial with easily readable Roman numerals. The edges and windows are embellished with finely painted green decorative carvings, evoking the lush alpine flora. Below the clock unfolds a vivid pastoral scene: a wise elder, a little girl, and a young shepherd watch over their sheep, surrounded by stylized pines and a delicate fence.

The quality of the carving, evident in the tiny heart decorations on the facade and the complex openwork base, is guaranteed by the use of maple wood for the figurative components and finer details, a material favored by our sculptors for its excellent ability to maintain definition. Each figure is hand-painted with full and vibrant colors, which infuse life into the scene. Even the weights, carefully shaped like pinecones and finished with a metallic burnish, add a touch of authenticity to this clock that marks time with the unmistakable charm of artisan tradition.

Detail & Meaning
L'orologio a cucù, nato nelle foreste nere della tradizione germanica e alpina, è universalmente riconosciuto come un simbolo di casa, calore e ritualità quotidiana. Il suono del cucù non solo misura il tempo, ma evoca un senso di familiarità e rassicurazione. La specifica scena pastorale raffigurata, chiaramente ispirata al mondo alpino e all'immaginario di Heidi, evoca un profondo senso di innocenza, armonia con la natura e i valori semplici della vita in montagna. Le tre figure umane rappresentano l'intergenerazionalità e la cura reciproca, valori centrali nell'immaginario popolare della Val Gardena, dove l'artigianato si tramanda di padre in figlio. L'inclusione delle pecore e dei pini rafforza l'immagine di un'idilliaca vita rurale, richiamando pace e serenità.
Story
Le radici dell'orologio a cucù risalgono al XVII secolo, ma il suo design caratteristico, come una piccola casa alpina (chalet), si è consolidato nel XVIII secolo, principalmente nella Foresta Nera. Questo modello, con scene figurative elaborate sotto il quadrante, rappresenta un'evoluzione artistica che fonde la precisione orologiera con la scultura popolare. In Val Gardena, la secolare tradizione dell'intaglio del legno, risalente al XVII secolo, ha abbracciato e reinterpretato oggetti di uso comune e decorazione, infondendo in essi l'abilità artistica locale. La creazione di questi orologi intagliati a mano si inserisce perfettamente in questo contesto, dove il legno alpino viene trasformato in pezzi d'arte funzionali, portando un pezzo di storia artigianale direttamente nelle case.
