The mini cuckoo clocks you see here are smaller versions of the normal-size cuckoo wall clock that is battery operated, plays music or chimes, and have an automatic night time shut off. If you are looking for a clock that doesn’t need to be wound, our battery-powered quartz mini cuckoo clocks would be perfect. Keep in mind that the mini clocks do not have a cuckoo bird that pops out like our traditional cuckoo clocks, but many chime on the hour or play musical tunes. The musical cuckoo clock plays 12 tunes — “Music Box Dancer”, “Muss i denn”, “Zhivago-Melodie”, “Mühle im Schwarzwald”, “Bacarole”, “Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedeuten”, “Oh mein Papa”, “Happy Wanderer”, “Que sera”, “Edelweiss”, “For Elise” and “Clementine”. If the clock has chains or a pendulum, these are purely decorative and you do not need to pull down on them to wind the clock. Our musical mini Black Forest cuckoo clocks are more colorful than our traditional cuckoo clocks, with more details painted on the clock face for those who want a more decorative clock. They are enjoyed by everyone no matter what your home design aesthetic.
