8 day cuckoo clock spices up your life - By: Aaron Cade

As we all know by now, it was during the mid 1700s that the world famous cuckoo clock, famed for its beauty and craftsmanship, originated in the deep and cold black forest region of Germany and Bavaria. This writing is a discussion of the high quality 8 day cuckoo clock.

Why should you get an 8 day cuckoo clock? These clocks are needed to be rewind every 8 days. Every hour, a beautifully designed cuckoo bird will announce the number of hours.

For instance, when the clock strikes 7 o' clock, the cuckoo bird will announce the time 7 times. The bird also announces the half hour as the clock strikes.

There is a very visible difference between the 1 day cuckoo clock and the 8 day cuckoo clock in terms of weights. The weights in the 8 day cuckoo clock are often bulkier, bigger, heavier compared to the weights of 1 day cuckoo clocks. These 8 day cuckoo clocks are relatively more expensive than the 1 day cuckoo clocks. There is an A or an 8 written on the 8 day clocks to denote their mechanical 8 day movement.

There is also the 8 day musical cuckoo clock. So what are the differences? This 8 day cuckoo clock is quite similar to its previous variety as stated above. The musical 8 day cuckoo clock, as the name suggests, can play music and may have more animations than its counter part. Just like its previous count part, it requires wind up every 8 days.

When the clock strikes a full hour, the cuckoo bird will come out of the door and announce the hour, followed by some melody. The cuckoo clock also announces the half hour by playing a different tune. There is a rotating drum which plucks out the tiny notes that produce these alternatively playing tunes every hour.

In the musical 8 day cuckoo clock, M indicates music, while 8 or A indicates the 8 day mechanical movement. Sometimes, you may find a T sign, which stands for movable animals, moving water mill, moving dancers, or other stuffs that can turn or move.
