The cuckoo clock, grown up.

There is a version of the cuckoo clock that belongs firmly in the past: dark carved wood, painted flowers, a little door that opens like a child's toy. And then there is this one. The Karlsson Natural Cuckoo Clock by Armando Breeveld pairs a warm birch wood rim with a clean open face and straight-styled hands, reading as considered wall art until the hour arrives and the cuckoo reminds you that time is passing. Browse the full Karlsson range for more.

At 31.5cm in diameter and 6cm deep, it sits neatly on any wall without demanding attention between its hourly moments. It cuckoos on the hour, with high, low and mute sound settings, and falls silent automatically between 10pm and 5am, with the bird starting again at 6am. For a fully modern take on the same idea, see the Modern Cuckoo and Duo Cuckoo.

FAQs

Does the cuckoo sound at night?
No. The clock is silent between 10pm and 5am, with the cuckoo resuming at 6am. High, low and mute settings give you full control.

What batteries does it need?
1 x AA and 2 x C, not included.

Is it a real mechanical cuckoo?
No. The cuckoo call is a sound played by the clock rather than a traditional mechanical bellows.

Styling Tips

  • Hang it in a kitchen, hallway or home office where a clock is useful and wall art earns its place twice
  • On a white or light wall the birch reads warmly; on a darker wall, the White or Grey face holds its own
  • Add a slim shelf below with a candle, a faux stem and a couple of considered objects for height and depth
  • In a hallway, hang at eye level above a narrow console and let the hourly cuckoo become part of the rhythm of the house
