Rombach & Haas (Romba) BAHHÅUSLE Model 8359 8-Day Black Forest Cuckoo Clock with Half and Full Hour Call is one of the Bahnhäusle or Trainstation House design that has been incredibly popular since the 1850s. It was made famous by Friedrich Eisenlohr of Furtwangen, Germany who first submitted the design as part of a contest for the Grand Duchy of Baden. His inspiration was a railroad guard’s house overrun by vines and leaves.
When the clock strikes the hour or half-hour the door opens, a cuckoo appears and calls along with the clock’s gong strike. After the cuckoo calls, music plays from the symphonic music-box mechanism made in Switzerland. This clock is hand-made in the Black Forest in Germany. The mechanical brass movements are driven by three weights and time is marked by a tick and a tock of a traditional wooden and hand carved pendulum. The cuckoo call sound is made by two wooden whistles with bellows inside the clock case.
Even the packaging has an old-world charm, as only paper is used. All the factory packing is is made out of the recycled materials. This clock makes a great gift for all ages and can be treasured throughout the generations.
