Listen to the cuckoo

Original recording from our Manufactory in Gütenbach.
VdS seal, original Black Forest cuckoo clock

Original Black Forest cuckoo clock, certified by the Verein die Schwarzwalduhr e. V. (VdS), the Black Forest Clock Association. Your guarantee of genuine craftsmanship from the Black Forest.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Cuckoo clocks from the Black Forest are robust, long-lived timepieces. Wipe the case occasionally with a dry, soft cloth. The movement should be cleaned and oiled by a specialist workshop every 5 years. Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to protect the natural wood.

In bear country

Two tall fir trees frame the house, and the steep shingle roof reaches almost down to the forest floor. In front of it the bears roam their territory: one stands on a tree stump and two wander between moss, stones and young firs.

The animals are in charge on the balcony too. Where other chalets have dancing couples, here four marmots turn to the music after the cuckoo call. The 22-note music box plays Edelweiss and The Happy Wanderer, while bear and mill wheel are in motion.

45 centimetres high, 41 wide: a motif from the wildlife of the Black Forest that appeals to children and collectors alike.

The mechanical 8-day movement

Inside works a mechanical 8-day movement. Wound once, the clock runs for a full week and drives everything at the same time: the pendulum, the cuckoo call, the music box and the moving figures. Three pine cone weights of 1,500 grams each supply the power, one for the time train, one for the cuckoo, one for the music.

The music needs no electronics: a pinned cylinder plucks the tuned teeth of the music box, powered solely by the weights. The automatic night shut-off keeps call and music silent overnight without stopping the clock. It is wound once a week by pulling the weights back up on their chains.
