Cuckoo Clock

A cuckoo clock is a type of clock that is designed to mark the hours by the sound of a cuckoo bird's call. It typically has a pendulum and a pair of bellows that are used to produce the cuckoo's call. The clock is also often decorated with intricate carvings and designs, making it both a timekeeping device and a work of art.

When the clock strikes the hour, a small door opens and a carved cuckoo bird emerges, while the clock plays a sound that imitates the call of the bird. Some cuckoo clocks also feature other moving elements, such as dancing figurines or musical mechanisms.

These clocks are often associated with traditional German craftsmanship and are considered a charming and nostalgic addition to any home. They are popular as decorative items and are often passed down through generations as family heirlooms.
