CARE & MAINTENANCE
Black Forest cuckoo clocks are robust, long-lasting timepieces. Occasionally wipe the case with a dry, soft cloth. The movement should be cleaned and oiled by a specialist every 5 years. Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to protect the natural wood.

Small, but Black Forest Through and Through
In front of a plain forest cottage with a steep shingled roof, the forest has gathered: a deer, a fawn, a squirrel on a cushion of moss, fly agarics between the stones, two fir trees as a frame. No bustle, no music box – just the cuckoo, the pendulum and a quiet scene you keep coming back to.
Deer, Fawn and a Stack of Wood
On the left a deer lowers its head, on the right stands the fawn with white spots in its coat – both carved and painted by hand, and no two alike, because no piece turns out like another. Between them lies a stack of split logs on the base, roughly split, with the bark still on.
The squirrel sits on the left on a cushion of moss, upright, its tail held high. And because no Black Forest picture is complete without them: three red fly agarics at the right-hand edge, along with a few pale stones.
Red Shutters, a Heart in the Wood
The little house follows the classic model: vertical board cladding, a far-projecting gabled roof with a fretted decorative edge, a crossbeam above the dial. The two windows carry bright red shutters with a punched-out heart, and beneath them flower boxes in red, white and green.
Above the cuckoo window hangs the heraldic shield – and on it sits the interlaced AS monogram, the mark of Anton Schneider. A detail that is easy to overlook and that still reveals which workshop the clock comes from.
The Mechanical 1-Day Movement
Inside the Waldlichtung works a mechanical movement with pendulum and pinecone weights. It drives the running of the clock and the cuckoo's call – entirely without battery or electronics. The two descending weights supply all the energy.
This design has its roots in the 18th-century Black Forest, where farmhouse clockmaking grew into a world-famous craft tradition. To this day the principle continues almost unchanged: the weights drive the movement, the pendulum sets the tempo – clockmaking in its purest form. The clock is wound by pulling the weights back up via their chains – a small ritual that has been part of living with a genuine Black Forest clock for generations.
