Description
The Engstler 453QM cuckoo clock follows the codes of the mountain chalet, with a projecting window that animates the façade and gives it relief. Two fawns watch over the foot of the house, while the cuckoo calls each hour before launching one of its twelve melodies.
The call, the echo and twelve melodies
Signed Engstler, a German manufacturer based in the Black Forest, this cuckoo clock runs on batteries thanks to its quartz movement, for accurate time all year round.
Every hour, the cuckoo calls, extended by an echo, then one of the twelve melodies starts to play, different from one hour to the next. During the hours of sleep, an automatic night shut-off switches off the sound: the cuckoo makes itself forgotten until morning.
A rustic chalet and its fawns
The wooden façade plays on relief, between the projecting window and the carved details. At the foot of the house, two fawns complete the scene and recall the region's undergrowth.
At 25 cm, this model remains compact and easy to install in a living room, a kitchen or a guest room. It is for those who want a Black Forest cuckoo clock in a moderate format, with simple everyday operation.
Fans of carved wildlife will find the same forest atmosphere on a chalet where two fallow deer graze near the mill wheel.
