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.

An evening among friends

Two men sit at the table in front of the half-timbered house and raise a toast. Three dogs have settled down beside them, a large pale one and two smaller ones. On the left the mill wheel turns, and on the right stands the village fountain with its trough made from a tree trunk.

Beneath the gable with its finely pierced boards the balcony opens. After the cuckoo call the dancing couples in their red skirts turn to the music of Edelweiss and The Happy Wanderer, the beer drinkers raise their mugs and the mill wheel turns.

40 centimetres high, 36.5 wide. A clock that invites rather than impresses.

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.

We do not yet have high-resolution detail and room photographs of this clock. We will add them as soon as possible and then present this page with the same care as those of our other clocks.
