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.

A Whole Farmstead in 32 Centimetres

The chalet is the most story-loving form of the Black Forest cuckoo clock. Where the classic carving works with forest and hunt, the chalet shows people – at work, at the end of the day, at the dance.

The Heimatklang brings together everything that makes up a Black Forest farmstead: the mill wheel at the side, the wood chopper in front of his stack, the dog in the middle of it all, the couples in traditional costume on the balcony. On the hour the whole scene comes alive – accompanied by a genuine mechanical music box.

A Lively Scene Full of Craft Romance

On the left of the house, under its own small canopy roof, the wooden mill wheel turns. In front of it a man in traditional costume sits on the bench, his beer stein in hand, his hat pulled down over his face – the end of the working day, as it has always looked in the Black Forest.

The mill wheel is more than decoration: it stands for the water power that drove the Black Forest for centuries – sawmills, mills and later the first clockmaking workshops too. Here it is driven directly by the movement, entirely without a motor.

The Wood Chopper Takes No Break

On the right stands the wood chopper at his block, axe raised, the log already split. Beside him lie the woodpile and shavings, with the fir trees in the background. And between them, right in the middle of the base, sits the dog, watching.

Each of these figures is painted individually by hand – from the red neckerchief to the dog's collar. It is these details by which you recognise a genuine Black Forest clock: it is never just a case, but always a scene with a story.

On the Hour, the Dancing Begins

Above the dial the chalet's balcony opens up. In the niche above it stand four figures in traditional costume – two couples, hat beside bonnet. After the cuckoo's call they come to life and turn their rounds, while a 22-note mechanical music box alternates between playing “Edelweiss” and “The Happy Wanderer”.

The music manages entirely without electronics: a pinned cylinder plucks the tuned reeds of the music box, driven solely by the power of the weights. For the night, the automatic shut-off makes sure that call and music stay silent – without the clock having to be stopped.

The Mechanical 8-Day Movement

Inside the Heimatklang works a mechanical 8-day movement – the top class among cuckoo clock movements. Wound once, the clock runs for a full week and drives everything at once: the pendulum, the cuckoo's call, the music box with the dancing figures, the mill wheel and the wood chopper. Three pinecone weights of 1,500 grams each supply the energy – one for the going train, one for the cuckoo, one for the music.

This design with pendulum and pinecone weights has its roots in the 18th-century Black Forest, where farmhouse clockmaking grew into a world-famous craft tradition. To this day this principle continues almost unchanged: the descending weights drive the movement, the pendulum sets the tempo – clockmaking in its purest form. The clock is wound once a week 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.
