It is the most affordable way to own a real mechanical Black Forest clock, and a good first one if you like the daily ritual of pulling the chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the hour and the half hour the door opens, the cuckoo comes out and calls, along with a gong strike. The call comes from two wooden whistles and bellows inside the case, the way it has been done in the Black Forest for generations. The brass movement runs on two weights for about a day per winding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sternreiter (imported by North Coast Imports)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Black Forest, Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertificate:\u003c\/strong\u003e VdS (Black Forest Clock Association)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e mechanical, 1-day, brass, two weights and a pendulum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCuckoo:\u003c\/strong\u003e hour and half hour, with gong strike, two wooden whistles and bellows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarving:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand-carved from solid linden wood: bird, grape leaves, maple leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e traditional walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNight shut-off:\u003c\/strong\u003e not listed by the maker for this model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 in x 9 in x 6 in, case only (the chains and weights hang below)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSetup and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHang the clock on a sturdy screw so the case sits flat against the wall, hook on the pendulum, hang the weights on the chain hooks and give the pendulum a light push. Then listen: the tick-tock should sound even. If it limps, nudge the bottom of the case a little to the left or right until it does. That is called putting the clock \"in beat\", and it is the reason most new cuckoo clocks stop after a few minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo wind it, pull the free end of each chain straight down, slowly, until the weight is back near the case. Do it once a day. Set the time by turning the minute hand only, clockwise. Let the cuckoo finish calling each time the hand passes the hour or the half hour. If the clock runs fast, slide the pendulum bob down a little; if it runs slow, slide it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore moving the clock, take off the pendulum and the weights. Dust with a soft, dry brush. Stuck on something?
