The first mechanical cuckoo clock was developed by clockmakers in Germany's Black Forest region in the 18th century. The clock movement was driven by suspended weights, the timekeeping was ensured by using a pendulum. The clock housing was made of wood. It resembled a small rural house with a small cuckoo bird living under the roof. The unusual design made cuckoo clocks very popular for over 300 years.
Timegear cuckoo clocks change the traditional design by using a modern battery-powered movement. Our clocks allow you adjusting the sound volume and have a night silent mode to make the design more practical. Following the traditions of German clockmakers, Timegear cuckoo clocks are made of natural wood. The carved decorations are also made of wood and represent scenes from the nature or rural life.
All the cuckoo clocks listed on our website in the 'Large Size' category have an automatic night mode with a built-in light sensor. It turns off the sound once it gets dark in the room. The bird stops coming out and does not disturb your sleep. The Timegear cuckoo clocks and all the clock decorations are made of natural wood.
If you need silence, you can easily turn off the sound completely or adjust the sound volume with a switch on the side panel. The large size cuckoo clock height without pendulum and weights is 15"-20"
