Description
The Engstler 48912QMT cuckoo clock is one of the largest and most animated in the quartz range: a richly decorated 50 cm chalet, where an entire Black Forest farm wakes up every hour.
The call, the echo and twelve melodies
Beneath the roof of this chalet by Engstler beats a quartz movement, which three batteries are enough to power. When the hour strikes, the cuckoo shows itself, its call echoes, and a melody rises from the twelve in the repertoire.
To the sound of the music, the water wheel turns, the couples of dancers come on stage and the hiker raises his arm in greeting. At night, a light sensor switches off the sound until morning.
The sheep farm
The façade teems with details: a turret with its bell crowns the house, while a flock of sheep, a dog and a hiker make up a lively countryside scene.
At 50 cm, this cuckoo clock is a centrepiece, which needs a clear section of wall in a living room or a large living space. It is for enthusiasts looking for a spectacular, animated and musical cuckoo clock.
In a slightly more discreet format, a woodcutter splits his wood to the rhythm of the dancers on a large half-timbered chalet with a turret.
