Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was VERY hesitant about buying this cuckoo clock because there was so little information in the description (or on the 'net) and only a single picture. Eventually I decided that for $119 shipped I would take a chance.
I'm glad I did. It is a nice little wood clock that has a genuine made in Germany Regula movement (25-A). The wood for the case is a laminate, but it is very good quality (not like plywood) and the bird and leaves are solid carved wood. The hands look like wood, but could be plastic (if so, they are VERY convincing). The numbers are stamped (or possibly silk-screened) onto the face. The "cuckoo" sound is traditional two-toned and very pleasant.
It is stamped "Made in Germany" on the back of the case, and has a "VdS Certificate of Authenticity" sticker on it which verifies it is a genuine Black Forest cuckoo clock.
It isn't perfect...some of the carved parts are a little rough at the edges, you can see a few of the finishing nailholes, and the numbers on mine have a couple of very slight imperfections. Nothing critical, and I think I'm the only person that has even noticed.
It does NOT have a nighttime feature (to turn off the "cuckoo" sound while you're sleeping) so we've just been stopping the pendulum at 8:00 PM and starting it again at 8:00 AM.
It arrived double-boxed in good condition, and has well-written instructions.
Everyone who has seen it so far loves it, and the kids are fascinated by the bird and cuckoo sound (and I suppose I am, too).
Would give it a 4.5 if that were allowed.
Note: several vendors are selling this one, but the place I got mine from is "Sell it Up!"
