Description

Be enchanted by this cuckoo clock, an authentic miniature chalet that celebrates the industriousness and joy of alpine life. Every detail of this masterful wooden sculpture is a tribute to the craftsmanship of Val Gardena, capable of transforming timekeeping into pure visual poetry.

The structure, which stands 47 cm tall, is a complex multi-level architecture. Admire the finely carved shingled roof culminating in a bell tower, beneath which two pairs of figures, painted in vibrant folk costumes (red, blue, white), dance dynamically on a balcony decorated with heart carvings and planters. The scene continues in the central part, where, flanking the Roman numeral dial, two microcosms unfold: a charming watermill and, to the right, a workshop where a craftsman is busy working wood, surrounded by his tools.

The finishes, meticulously crafted with a skillful play of natural wood tones, enhance the grain and three-dimensionality. The details, from the mill's sky-blue flowing water to the pinecones serving as weights, are meticulously hand-painted. In line with our tradition, for sizes up to 56 cm like this 47 cm model, the work is made of precious maple wood, chosen for its compact grain and perfect rendering of the intricate carvings.

Detail & Meaning
This watch is not just a timekeeper, but a profound celebration of the alpine "Heimat"—the concept of home, hearth, and sense of belonging. The dancing scene on the balcony symbolizes joy and community cohesion, reflecting the traditional folk festivals of Val Gardena. The artisan in his workshop, on the other hand, is a tribute to industriousness and the perpetuation of traditional crafts, particularly honoring the centuries-old art of woodcarving. It is a representation of the harmony between work and leisure, nature (symbolized by pinecones) and the stability of a world that, while measuring the passage of time, remains anchored to its most authentic values.
Story
Although the classic cuckoo clock (Kuckucksuhr) has its roots in the German Black Forest from the 17th century, its adoption and reinterpretation by the artisans of Val Gardena has made it a vehicle for Alpine identity. The Val Gardena sculptural tradition, born in the 17th century for the creation of sacred art, subsequently expanded to secular crafts and the depiction of scenes of daily life and trades. This clock represents the perfect fusion between the mechanical precision of European watchmaking tradition and the excellence of Val Gardena wood carving, giving life to a piece that tells the story of a territory where wood is a living andNarrative material.
