The chalet clocks look like Alpine or Black Forest houses.  Nowadays they are more popular than traditionally carved cuckoo clocks. The chalet cuckoo clocks range from traditional Black Forest house to Tudor style frame works houses. The clocks show traditional scenes of every day life and often have moving elements / figurines.



Traditionally carved cuckoo clock
Traditionally carved cuckoo clocks look back on a longer tradition than chalet cuckoo clocks.  Most popular are hunting and forest scenes. They are equipped with large hand carvings of scenes from nature like leaves, birds or deer.
