Ive been looking for a cuckoo clock i could afford for ages, and i finally found one at an estate sale!
it doesn’t have any makers marks on it and it is a very simple design, so I imagine it must just be a cheaper souvenir type you would get when traveling to Germany in the 80s / early 90s.
that doesn’t matter much to me. i wanted this to fill the nostalgic sound from when i was a little child at my grandparents. so cozy.
i have a new found respect for clock mechanisms. little things like how level the clock is and the beat of the pendulum matter in its functionality. kudos to anyone who has clock repair as a hobby.
it has ran a full 24hrs after getting it level and adjusting the pendulum boot. fingers crossed that it keeps running after i pull the weights back up!
My grandparents had the exact same one! I think my aunt may have it now. Such a simple thing with so many memories attached
