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
Questo orologio non è solo un misuratore del tempo, ma una profonda celebrazione della "Heimat" alpina—il concetto di casa, focolare e senso di appartenenza. La scena danzante sul balcone simboleggia la gioia e la coesione comunitaria, riflettendo le tradizionali feste folcloristiche della Val Gardena. L'artigiano nel suo laboratorio, d'altro canto, è un inno all'operosità e alla perpetuazione dei mestieri tradizionali, onorando in particolare la secolare arte della scultura in legno. È una rappresentazione dell'armonia tra lavoro e svago, natura (simboleggiata dalle pigne) e la stabilità di un mondo che, pur misurando lo scorrere del tempo, rimane ancorato ai suoi valori più autentici.
Story
Sebbene il classico orologio a cucù (Kuckucksuhr) affondi le sue radici nella Selva Nera tedesca a partire dal XVII secolo, la sua adozione e reinterpretazione da parte degli artigiani della Val Gardena lo ha reso un veicolo per l'identità alpina. La tradizione scultorea gardenese, nata nel XVII secolo per la creazione di arte sacra, si è successivamente espansa all'artigianato profano e alla raffigurazione di scene di vita quotidiana e mestieri. Questo orologio rappresenta la perfetta fusione tra la precisione meccanica della tradizione orologiera europea e l'eccellenza dell'intaglio della Val Gardena, dando vita a un pezzo che racconta la storia di un territorio dove il legno è materia viva e narrante.
