On my last visit to the Black Forrest I purchased one of the large 8 day clocks. We love the clock and your description of the better things to look for in a high quality clock are the things that we now appreciate. All hand carved with hand shingled roof, hand carved figures and wooden dial parts are beautiful. Ours has a water wheel (dry) a bar maid and two patrons and a Saint Bernard. The trees are the latter one that you pointed out , in addition to a balsa tree that Adolf Herr carved for us on our first river cruise. In addition, we purchased three of the smaller one day wind which were gifts to our family members. Memories! 👍👨‍🦳🇨🇦

Hello Jason, well lets say it this way. The music clock of course is made also to play the music. Specially with a 8 day clock, it could be that the clock it not leveled out correctly, so i does not run good. If you take of the weight for the music, the clock will still work and function thats absolutely correct. It also should not damage the clock, but i would not recommend it. Cheers Markus

I need someone to help me out!! I bought my mother a Cuckoo Clock that was Manufactured by Anton Schenider between 2001-2007. I paid $3,500.00 to $4,000.00 for it. It is an 8-Day Clock & I ordered it with that Wooden Weight Option they are big & Heavy for them (3) of them. It is the Hunters Edition. So here is the main trouble right above the Music Box is a white colored Battery Box that users (1) D-Cell Battery that the Box has (2) Electric Wires a red wire & a blue wire that goes to a silver Colored Electric Motor & there are a lot of White Colored Plastic Gears in the Gear Box Assembly. I think my Mother called it the Bird Call? But there was no way to shut the Cuckoo Bird off at night because there was no black Lever on the Left side on the Outside. It’s been sitting in a Carboard box since 2008. This is an oversized Cuckoo clock. I ordered it with a special Pendalum also. Can someone please help me out on getting this Clock to work again!! It’s got a Ragina movement. There is no rust anywhere inside the Clock. I live in Minnesota & no one here can help me out. It was bought in Iowa. I picked it out of a Store Catalog/Brochure.

Don't buy an 8-day cuckoo clock that has 2 or 3 weights. Why? because the manufacturers are stupid. They make this clock that has to have a 12-foot ceiling for you to wind it once a week. and you have to have a ladder if you are not taller than 5'6" to set the dial. Forget seeing the animation it's too high. Now if you don't mind winding it twice a week then you can put it at any height.

@steinsandclocks 10 ай бұрын

Hey Spacecowboy, i dont know where you got your Infos from. Recommend is a hight to hang the clock around 5,5 - 6 foot. Then the Chain also has enough room and the 8 day Clocks can be pulled Up ones a week. If you dont have this recommend hight, or a hard time seeing it. Then of Course you also can hang the clock lower. This also shortens the Chain, so it hast to BE windend more often. Thats absolutely right. Wish you the best Cheers Markus

@@steinsandclocks well it has to be hung that high to wind it 8 days. so I hung it about 6 ft and I have to hang it twice a week. I complained to the seller and he said they are all like that. I looked and all his clocks have to be wound twice a week. not 8 days. I can't make overseas calls so I am stuck. I don't know what the deal but all his cho cho clocks had long. chains. The clock is brand new from HETTICH in germiny

Then something is not correct. If you search for hettich Uhren, a 8 day clock always needs 1 winding in a week. Wish you the best
