This fairytale clock is one of our most beautiful models. The witch’s house with Hansel & Gretel motif, mounted on a back panel specially designed for this clock, looks impressive in any setting. In keeping with the Hansel and Gretel story by the Brothers Grimm, the clock’s decoration and house have been designed to resemble a real witch’s cottage in the middle of a deep forest. The clock with its beautifully clocked pointed roof is surrounded by conifers all around. Two tall trees even rise up behind the clock. This assembly of large trees behind a clock is particularly rare. There are many other trees of different sizes around the clock, giving the impression of a real forest.
On the left-hand side, you can also see the two children’s figures just emerging from the forest. The wicked witch is already waiting on the right…
All figures and decorative elements are made of wood and hand-painted!
The roof of this clock has a particularly beautiful shape, slim and tapering upwards, covered with individual shingles, in the style of real Black Forest roofs.
Wooden dancing figures, also hand-painted; wooden dial, wooden hands, wooden cuckoo (August Schwer exclusive cuckoo), wooden pendulum.
This clock is supplied with a back panel. This backboard for the clock makes the model even more impressive. The board is 105cm high and 50cm wide. In the lower third there is another decorative element on the board. Here you can see another small bench between two trees.
International customers: The backboard is very large and very expensive to ship. Hence the very high shipping costs for this clock.
