German Cuckoo Clock 8 Day Movement Chalet Style Review

Great product! Very easy to set up and with a little swing of the pendulum it started ticking with a great cooking sound. The little cook kept the house alive day and night. Not only children abroad love it! It took me some time to get the clock accurate. This is a mechanical clock, related in many ways to the position of the pendulum. After a few iterations, I've now been able to tune it to near minute-to-minute accuracy in eight days, which is good for me. The gauges look very stylish and…

I bought this watch as a Christmas present for my wife. She likes it very much. Delivery was earlier than expected and arrived on time to be gift wrapped. When the box was opened, two wooden figures on the watch "detached" during transport. Simple solution with a few drops of E6000. Read the written instructions and unpack the shipping parts from the back of your watch. After securely attaching it to the wall, we hung the weights and set up the pendulum. An adjustable pendulum length requires a

I don't know what some of the other reviewers are complaining about. This clock is old school and not a quartz clock or atomic clock. With a little patience, you can set the clock just as precisely as you would on your phone or computer over Wi-Fi. I bought this as a gift a year before this review was published; In other words, this review is based on the experience of living with it for quite some time. After a small adjustment of the pendulum (you can raise or lower it to adjust the speed)…

My wife and I have been looking for a real cuckoo clock from the Black Forest for a long time. Beware, there are fakes made in Asia and advertised as genuine from the Black Forest. Visit www.black-forest.org to check it out! Manufactured by Kammerer Uhren Hekas, this watch is so certified and is manufactured in Schonach, Germany, in the heart of the Black Forest. On a recent trip to Germany, we were looking for a watch like this, and most of them range from $750 to $1,000 even before they were…

This item had one of the "decorations" broken off. It wasn't damaged, looks like those who stuck it on forgot to use enough to keep it there! In this case, a bit of wood glue made the replacement possible. The watch as a whole appears to be well put together. There is nothing extraordinary in this regard. The problem we had in getting it to show a reasonably accurate time is a HUGE task and we've given up. The pendulum has been adjusted - this is nothing new to us. Design -- we got even closer,

I received my watch 10 days ago; It was in perfect condition - nothing broken, chipped or lost. The workmanship is superb - the product is really high quality and the sound of the cuckoo is exactly what I expected. The box includes a DVD to help you set up the clock and several videos showing the types of clocks and how cuckoo clocks work. However, DVDs are in PAL format. So unless you have a player that can play PAL discs, it's practically useless. It took me 2 days to adjust the disc on the…
