Rhythm’s “Timecracker” series is home to some of the most popular and most iconic musical clocks ever made. It’s a timeless design that has been around for almost three decades. The “Timecracker Golden Oak” Magic Motion clock was released in 2003 as a follow-up to the widely-popular original “DWS Timecracker” clock. It features a gleaming bright oak frame with a new dial, different from the short-lived “DWS Timecracker Oak” released just a year before. At the top of the hour or when the demonstration button is pressed, the clock dial comes to life and literally “cracks” into two pieces. The pieces rotate around the clock to reveal various hidden figurines beneath, until they meet again. Like the original Timecracker models, the “Timecracker Golden Oak” plays 6 popular melodies including “Unchained Melody” and “My Heart Will Go On” in Rhythm’s pleasant Dynamic Wave Sound (DWS). The Swarovski crystal pendulum rotates continuously.
Notes: The “Timecracker” series is legendary to many clock enthusiasts around the world, and this one is in great condition for its age. There are scuffs on the castle right below the number 6, and a few very small scuffs on the front glass in front of the Swarovski crystal pendulum and near the number 4 (as shown in photos). They aren't visible from a distance and difficult to notice unless directly pointed out, but I have adjusted the price to reflect this. The clock, motion, and music all work just like new. Watch the video for a demonstration!
