A traditional Black Forest chalet-style cuckoo clock made for export in the mid-20th century (1950s–1970s). It features a classic Alpine house case with painted floral decoration, an accordion player and a woman in traditional dress, and a dial marked “Germany.” The clock is chain-driven with three pinecone weights controlling time, cuckoo strike, and music, likely powered by a Regula mechanical movement. It is a 1-day clock, requiring daily winding, and plays the folk tune “Edelweiss” after the cuckoo call
