Micio cuckoo clock

Micio cuckoo clock by Pirondini.

A quiet scene unfolds atop the Micio cuckoo clock, where a curious feline perches on the sloped roof, poised in gentle watchfulness over a solitary bird. Designed by Irene Guerrieri for Pirondini, Micio reimagines the traditional cuckoo clock with a playful yet sophisticated narrative, merging whimsical storytelling with meticulous craftsmanship. The case, composed of beech and birch, offers a tactile warmth and understated elegance, its clean lines and subtle geometry lending a contemporary sensibility to a timeless form.Within, the Micio cuckoo clock houses an advanced electronic movement. A discreet photocell ensures the cuckoo remains silent in darkness, preserving tranquility through the night. At each hour, the clock animates: the cuckoo’s call, layered with echoes and the gentle murmur of a forest stream, evokes a sense of place and memory. Volume control allows for two distinct acoustic settings, and the cuckoo function itself can be deactivated entirely, adapting Micio to a range of environments and preferences.Micio Pirondini stands as both object and character—an invitation to pause, observe, and delight in the quiet drama of everyday life. The result is a category-defining cuckoo clock, equally suited to intimate living spaces or curated collections, where narrative and materiality intersect with precision and wit.
