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.

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