Cloudnola Cuckoo Clock Dot Green

Partially verified

This contemporary cuckoo clock, titled Cuckoo Clock Dot, was designed by Renee Vendrig for Cloudnola. Encased in a circular wooden drum with a recessed sage green dial, it displays black baton hour and minute hands, a yellow central pinion cap, and printed baton hour and minute indices. An aperture above the 12 o'clock position houses a yellow cuckoo bird figure that source reports emerges hourly. According to the seller, the clock is powered by a quartz movement requiring three AA batteries and features a silent night mode. It is presented with a trapezoidal sage green stand for tabletop or mantel display, with source also reporting wall-hanging capability.

Object description

Visual Form and Display Configuration

The object presents as a modern timepiece featuring a circular light-toned wooden outer case and a recessed dial finished in sage green. A matching trapezoidal stand accompanies the drum case, allowing for tabletop or mantel display. The seller listing also states a double function offering 'Hanging or standing' placement options, though any wall-mounting fixtures on the reverse are not recorded in the visible photograph.

The dial displays black baton hour and minute hands revolving around a contrasting yellow cap. Printed black markers indicate hours and minutes around the periphery, and the dial is signed 'Cloudnola Amsterdam Est. 2013' above the 6 o'clock position. Centered directly above the 12 o'clock position is a small circular aperture displaying a yellow cuckoo bird figure.

Evidence for this section
  • “Circular light-toned wooden outer case with a recessed sage green dial face.”
  • “Rests on a matching trapezoidal sage green stand for tabletop or mantel use.”
  • “The Cuckoo Clock offers versatile placement options. Hanging or standing.”
  • “Black baton hour and minute hands centered with a contrasting yellow cap.”
  • “Dial features printed black minute and hour markers, and is signed 'Cloudnola Amsterdam Est. 2013' above the 6 o'clock position.”
  • “Small circular window above the 12 o'clock position displaying a small yellow cuckoo bird figure.”

Reported Movement and Mechanism

According to the auction listing, the clock is 'Battery operated (3x AA-battery)' and 'Equipped with a high-quality quartz'. The source claims that '[e]very hour, a charming cuckoo bird emerges to announce the time with a delightful chime' and that '[a] night shut-off feature ensures the clock remains quiet while you sleep.'

Because the clock is documented only from a single front three-quarter viewpoint, internal movement parts, battery housing, and functional claims remain unverified by direct observation and are not recorded in this photographic source.

Evidence for this section
  • “Battery operated (3x AA-battery)”
  • “Equipped with a high-quality quartz for precision and long-lasting performance, use NEW Duracell batteries (not included).”
  • “Every hour, a charming cuckoo bird emerges to announce the time with a delightful chime.”
  • “A night shut-off feature ensures the clock remains quiet while you sleep.”

Design Attribution and Documentation Discrepancies

The listing credits the design with 'Design by Renee Vendrig' under the product title 'Cuckoo Clock Dot' and lists specifications including 'Diameter: 10.3 in / 26 cm' and 'Stand: 2.2 x7.9 x 3.4 in / 5.5 x 20 x 8.5 cm'.

The seller's description also includes boilerplate marketing text claiming the clock features 'intricate wood carvings and classic chalet-style details'. Direct observation contradicts this description, showing a smooth, uncarved cylindrical wooden case without chalet ornamentation.

Evidence for this section
  • “Design by Renee Vendrig”
  • “Diameter: 10.3 in / 26 cm”
  • “Stand: 2.2 x7.9 x 3.4 in / 5.5 x 20 x 8.5 cm”
  • “Featuring intricate wood carvings and classic chalet-style details, the Cuckoo Clock is a true work of art!”

Open research questions

  • What specific mounting hardware or aperture exists on the reverse of the case to support wall hanging?
  • Does the mechanical linkage physically project the cuckoo bird forward through the aperture, or is movement confined to an internal motion?
  • What manufacturer produces the internal quartz module and chime mechanism?
