TRADITIONAL CUCKOO CLOCK UK

A look at the traditional cuckoo clock by UK specialists

The traditional cuckoo clock coming from the Black Forest in Germany is manufactured to last around 30 years, making it the ideal gift for the timepiece connoisseur. Handmade even today, the traditional cuckoo clock is an excellent investment for the collector. With all its features being authentic you can expect to pay a little bit more than for other time pieces, but it will be money well spent.

It requires little maintenance and only needs oiling of the mechanical parts once every three to five years. Occasional dust build-up can easily be removed. Setting it up is remarkably easy and complete instructions are provided. The most important aspect of the setting up process is to ensure that it hangs high enough and is fixed to a strong bolt or nail.

You have a choice between the traditional cuckoo clock working with three pine cones which are the weights and the one that operates with two pine cones. The one operating on three pine cones normally plays music and has moving figures as well. The one with two pine cones will have the cuckoo and the time drive only.

You also have a choice between eight day movement and one day movement. The difference lies in the time span which lapses before rewinding is required. If you hang the clock in a location where you will not come on a daily basis it is recommended that you select the eight day movement type. Rewinding is a simple process which doesn’t take up a lot of time and as such the one day movement which is also slightly cheaper than the eight day type, is well suited for most homes.
