MUJI Cuckoo Clock, White, Large
Last updated: 12 November 2026
The MUJI cuckoo clock is a white cuckoo clock that can stand on a shelf or hang on a wall, and it chimes on the hour or every half hour. It has a light sensor, so it stays quiet once the room goes dark. The large version is £69.95 at MUJI UK, with an AA battery in the box. I checked the price at MUJI UK on 13 October 2026.

What it is
It is a white cuckoo clock that runs on a single AA battery, which comes in the box. MUJI describes this one as a larger version of its standard cuckoo clock. You can stand it on a shelf or mount it on a wall, so it works in a room with no space for a picture hook.
It is 26.7cm tall, which is a little shorter than a sheet of A4 standing upright. It weighs 1.2kg, a little more than a 1kg bag of sugar.
The light sensor and the two chime settings
The chime has two settings. It sounds either on the hour or every half hour, and you choose which.
Meanwhile, the light sensor stops it ringing in the dark. MUJI's own description says it "employs a clever light sensor so it does not ring in the dark". In practice, that means a chime at 3am will not wake anyone in a dark bedroom, while the clock still chimes through the day. However, a room with a lamp left on overnight will still hear it.

Price, delivery and the small version
MUJI UK sells the large version at £69.95. Standard UK delivery starts at £3.95, and delivery is free on orders over £85. So the clock on its own comes to £73.90 delivered at the standard rate.
MUJI also makes a smaller version, the Cuckoo Clock White Small, for shelves with less room. If height is a problem, compare the two on MUJI UK before you order.
Who it suits, and its limits
It suits a family kitchen, a child's room or a hallway, because the half-hour chime gives a regular reminder of the time. It also suits a flat with thin walls, because the light sensor stops it chiming at night.
However, MUJI does not say how loud the chime is or whether it has a volume control. Also, the sensor works on light rather than on a timer, so a night light near the clock could keep it chiming.
