First one the pendulum didn’t work but we had a replacement before we could even get the first one on its way back and it works perfectly.I have one of my grandpa’s cuckoo clocks and a magnificent Black Forest cuckoo clock my husband gave me many years ago. Now we have cats that play with the chains and real cuckoo clocks are very delicate, so I can’t run them anymore.😞 I saw an ad for this one and just thought it was cute. I’m a clock lover and have all kinds. This one just appealed to me because I don’t have anything similar to it.I LOVE THIS CLOCK!It has a setting that you can have it make real bird noises…which I usually like but found the sounds on this clock very irritating. Which was fine because I wanted the cuckoo clock sound anyway. The cuckoo clock sound is surprisingly very much like a real one. It’s a bit softer which I find nice. Real ones can be a bit loud. It has a light sensor that turns the cuckoo off when it gets dark.Only thing I am disappointed in is that for some reason I got the impression that the different color birds would rotate. They don’t. You have to choose one. But it will be fun mixing and matching and rearranging the birds and pendulums from time to time.This clock is keeping EXCELLENT time. I know this because we had it set 3 minutes fast and it bugged me for days when I’d look at my iPhone dock and see the time was off. I gave it a bit of a nudge and got it to just one minute fast and it has stayed steady as well. I’ll give it one more nudge pretty soon to get it the right time.Oh. One other thing. It takes C batteries which is not a commonly used battery any more. We haven’t had any of those around for years. So make sure you get some. It takes 3 and each battery runs a different function on the clock. One the bird. One the time. One the pendulum.I’m really pleased with the quality of this clock. It’s not made of cheap materials and I have no reason to believe that it won’t hold up for many years.

I just received this today so will update if anything changes.First: the batteries. Having read some of the other reviews, I was prepared (I thought) with new 1.5 volt C generic brand batteries from a local big box store. Clock ran fine but no cuckoo and the bird would not come out. Grrrr. Just to troubleshoot, I went back and bought "name brand" super duper 1.5 volt C batteries and that seems to have solved the problems. So: don't just get the right voltage and type of batteries, get better grade batteries.Back to the clock: it's a simple and elegant design and would look good in a child's room but it also looks great and whimsical with our midcentury style furnishings. So far, with the new batteries, it is keeping perfect time. There is a slight audible "tick" (as one might expect from a pendulum clock) but it is very quiet.The directions are minimal, but not too hard to figure out. It is important to look for and read the part about how to set the clock so that the "cuckoo/bird calls" are matched correctly to the time. The trickiest part for me was attaching the pendulum rod to the body of the clock but the trick is just to carefully insert it *into* the attachment part and then give it a slight pressure so that it hooks into place. Everything else is simple magnets. Oh, yes, and the pendulum rod was just randomly in the box and easy to overlook in all the excitement, so look for a small thin strip of white metal so you don't accidentally throw it out. ;)Final thoughts: Given that the clock is primarily constructed from painted MDF and plastic, it's probably a *wee* bit overpriced, but I think it's still well worth it because it is an elegant design. I'm glad we bought it and we would recommend it.

I purchased this clock because I was looking for something battery powered that made 60 bpm metronomic sounds to experiment how it would effect my sleep patterns. Mechanical metronomes used by musicians only run for 45min before needing to have a spring wound up again. I figured a koo koo clock with swinging pendulum would be perfect.Unfortunately, the pendulum action on this clock is completely silent. It moves at 120bpm but I figured I could simply add weight to the pendulum until I reached my desired 60bpm. I didnt expect it to be silent! Because of this I had no real use for the clock and returned it. However, if you're in the market for an adorable German designed clock this one is worth buying. They are designed by a company in Bevaria, Germany.Here are some things to keep in mind....What materials is this item made of?1.) The "weights" for the pendulum are made of lightweight wood that is painted. There is a tiny magnet embedded in the groove which causes the wooden block to stay attached to the pendulum swing arm which is made of painted steel. (Please note the swing arm is not anodized....It is painted. Careful not to scratch it as the white paint comes off easily)2.) The birds feel made of plaster as they have some heft to them. They each have a small magnet embedded at their feet.3.) All internal clock workings and the mechanical bird perch are made of plastic with plastic gearing.4.) The bird house itself feels made of solid lightweight wood pieces with a smooth paint finish. The whole assembley feels very light so I cant imagine the wood being MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) as stated in some of the item description. It feels like real wood (possibly poplar or spruce).5.) The battery bays are marked with the designation UM-2 which is the old designation Japan used for what is now known internationally as the "C" battery. So its possible the clock work mechanisms were manufactured in Japan instead of China, although I dont know that for a certainty, Its just a guess.Instructions?As other buyers have noted, none of the instructions are in english and most of the instruction pamphlets refers to other models of clocks so it can be quite confusing. Honestly I think its easier to understand how it works if you ignore the instruction pamphlet completely.Here are the only 4 options available from left to right- Volume knob- One button sets the chime to Cuckoo- One button sets the chime to "multi-bird" which plays one of 12 bird sounds each hour. The order of birds in this option are shown in the instruction pamphlet.- One button demos the bird chime silentlyThats it...Simple right!All the extra birds and pendulum weights can be tossed inside the body of the bird house.Summary: I highly recommend buying this clock if you want a nearly silent wall clock with attractive color scheme and options to control the loudness of the chime.

It work fine for the first 2 months and then I notice that the clock is behind with the time . Beside that the clock looks good and has a high price tag I would not recommend it .

Received product very quickly and was packaged very well. Cute design, fun, a bit quirky. Quality good, fair for what they charge. Chose to display the white pendulum with red bird, but love the idea you can change out pendulum and bird colours, or not use the pendulum at all. Recommend you clearly measure the wall space you want to put the clock on, factoring the length of the pendulum. We just renovated our kitchen with grays and white and was not sure the clock was modern enough, but the clean lines work and add a bit of whimsy to the room. Pendulum does make a very soft tick if you stand close to it, and you can adjust the volume of the kukoo sound, or use other bird sounds. The only down side I would say is the doors make a bit of a motorized sound when they open and close for the bird, not a huge deal, but it would be better if they were quiet. Teenagers in the house love it, and it is a good conversation piece when guests are over and the bird pops out. Very happy with purchase.

Mon premier kookoo ne voulait plus chanter au bout de 2 ans er demi, mais aucun problème avec l'heure.Le vendeur a été très réactif à mes messages et m'a donné de nombreux conseils pour essayer de régler ce problème. Malheureusement rien n'y a fait. Après remboursement je viens d'en commander un second.Je suis ravie, car il est moderne et quel plaisir de l'entendre à nouveau. J'en ai offert un à ma fille qui l'apprécie également beaucoup. C'est de la bonne qualité.
