Cuckoo clocks are most definitely not Japanese. In fact, they are most iconically associated with the Black Forest region, a large mountain range in southwest Germany covered in thick forests. So what is it that makes the Hacoa Cuckoo Clock worth including on a website showcasing the finest Japanese products? Because it is handmade in Japan by highly skilled woodwork artisans, has been designed by imaginative local designers, and has all the finesse, precision and attention to detail that all Japanese products have. In other words, it's a very Japanese take on a European classic!
Meticulously crafted from premium walnut wood, the beautiful Hacoa Cuckoo Clock delivers every hour on the hour the chirping of a bird that pops out from the round hole in its center. Even the sound is discreet and soothing, since it's a chirp, which is less intrusive than the actual call of the cuckoo. Its urethane finish accentuates the natural wood grain and protects it from wear and tear. The clock measures 92.5 x 89 x 163 mm (3.6 x 3.5 x 6.4"), can be used wall-mounted or placed on a tabletop, has a silent night mode, and runs on regular AA batteries that last for about eight months!
