This traditionally styled quartz cuckoo clock accurately keeps time and plays 1 of 12 melodies at the top of each hour. The burned wood on the hand-carved case features 5 leaves and a bird. Two decorative pine cone weights are suspended beneath the clock case by 2 chains. On every hour the cuckoo bird emerges from a swinging door above the clock dial and counts the hour by cuckooing once per hour. (Example: At one o'clock the bird will cuckoo once. At eight o'clock the bird will cuckoo eight times). After the cuckoo bird cuckoos, 1 of 12 different melodies will play 1. Happy Wanderer, 2. Edelweiss, 3. Dr. Zhivago, 4. Swan Lake, 5. He was beautiful (theme song of the movie "Deer Hunter“), 6. Lorelei, 7. Home Sweet Home, 8. Sound of Silence, 9. Clementine, 10. The Entertainer (theme song of the movie "Sting), 11. Love theme of the movie "The Godfather“, 12. Fur Elise. This cuckoo clock has music on/off switch, an off switch (for cuckoo & music) and a light sensor that silences the clock when it is dark. Requires 3 C size batteries to operate (not included). Great effort has been made to portray each cuckoo clock as accurately as possible. As with many handmade items, the exact coloration and carving may vary slightly from clock to clock.
