In trying to replace an old cuckoo clock that had broken, I searched around the internet for one that was similar to our old one. The closest match was from Bavarian Clockworks. While a little more expensive than others I found, this one looked to be higher quality. Having received it and hanging it on our wall, it works well. It kept accurate time right out of the box, and has pleasant cuckoo;s on the hour and half hour. A wind of the clock lasts almost exactly one day.
