Bradford Exchange Dragon Castle Cuckoo Clock

This unique timepiece is the Bradford Exchange 'Fire & Ice' Dragon Castle Cuckoo Clock, inspired by the fantasy artwork of artist Matthew Stawicki. The clock features a hand-painted stone-look castle structure populated by sculptural dragons, including a dragon that emerges for the hourly 'cuckoo' chirps and an illuminated moon.

The Bradford Exchange is a world-renowned brand specializing in limited-edition collectibles, jewelry, and home decor. Founded in the mid-1970s, the company is known for its high-quality craftsmanship and partnership with various artists to create unique thematic items. While the brand is American, the manufacturing of these intricate resin and electronic components is typically outsourced to specialized facilities in China to maintain the detailed finish and movement required for collectible clocks.

The company remains privately held under the Bradford Hammacher Group, which also owns the iconic retail brand Hammacher Schlemmer. This structure allows them to control a large share of the global collectibles market, distributing primarily through mail-order and specialized online storefronts.
