TICKY TACKY

IS THAT THE DUKE I HEAR ROLLING OVER IN HIS GRAVE ?



Handcrafted John Wayne American Icon illuminating Cuckoo Clock with full-colour portraiture and a miniature Dollar figurine appearing on the hour.

On his horse, Dollar, John Wayne galloped into the hearts of generations of movie fans. Now enjoy Duke at his heroic best, riding tall in the saddle and standing his ground, on the first-ever John Wayne Cuckoo Clock – exclusively from The Bradford Exchange.

This 2-foot long, wood encased masterpiece is designed like an old West clapboard building with a projecting illuminated porch handcrafted of artist’s resin. Simply flip the switch and hidden LEDs light the standing image of John Wayne in the saloon’s swinging doors, casting a dramatic shadow on the floorboards. A full-colour portrait of Duke riding into the sunset on his favourite horse, Dollar, decorates the face of the battery-operated quartz-movement clock. You can even see this mighty stallion appear above the clock face on the hour. And underneath, a brass-toned pendulum swings gently alongside two decorative pinecones.
