A Colourful Swiss House Mechanical Clock
Great things come in small packages, and this colourful clock is no exception. This delightful timepiece was produced by artisan clock makers TRENKLE from Simonswald in the Black Forest region of Germany.
Measuring 14cm in height*, this beautiful clock resembles a Swiss house, a popular style of chalet building in the Swiss alps. Chalet style clocks are commonly shaped as alpine houses, featuring details that represent life in the mountain regions of Europe (around southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria). This particular clock has a large amount of hand painted features on the chalet facade, roof and base, including flowers such as the famous Edelweiss flower depicted on the base. This white star shaped flower is unique to the alps of Germany, Austria and Switzerland mainly. Its name means noble white, and it represents strength, toughness, bravery and courage. This is because the flower survives the harshest winters at very high altitudes.
Rounding out this delightful scene is a wooden clock dial in the centre of the clock, and a couple sitting on a seesaw above the clock dial, swinging up and down. This mechanical timepiece requires winding once a day and features a polished brass pendulum, alongside decorative display weights.
With its high colour and playful manner, this clock provides a visual delight that is sure to entertain all ages.
Please note that this clock is not a cuckoo clock- it does not feature a cuckoo bird, nor a cuckoo call or music. It is a timepiece only.
