Black Forest joie de vivre,
carved in wood
On the card players clock, the Black Forest way of life comes alive. Linger for just a moment and the scene begins to tell its story: below, on the terrace of the farmhouse, a convivial group sits together over a game of cards – just as it has been known in the taverns of the Black Forest for generations. And while the next trick is still being fought over below, the dancing couples up on the gallery are already turning to the beat of the music.
Every detail of this clock is made by hand: the fine shingles of the roof, the flower-decked balconies, the mill wheel on the gable wall, the lovingly painted figures. Together they create a warm, nostalgic atmosphere full of tradition and cosiness – a little piece of the Black Forest to bring home. A clock that awakens memories, tells stories and fills any room with genuine Black Forest charm.
The three card players
At the table on the terrace sit three card players, deeply absorbed in their game. You can almost hear them deliberating over the next move – until the full hour strikes. Then the group springs to life: with a flourish, the three slam their cards onto the table as if the decisive trump had just been played.
This little spectacle repeats every hour on the hour – and never fails to raise a smile. It is one of those moments in which a clock becomes a living piece of everyday Black Forest culture.
Dancing couples on the gallery
Above the scene, on the small gallery beneath the gable, four dancing figures in Black Forest traditional costume turn on every full hour. They dance to the sounds of a genuine mechanical music movement – entirely without electronics, driven solely by the power of the clockwork.
What makes it special: the melody changes. Every hour a different tune plays in alternation, so the little dance is never quite the same. Hour after hour, the clock brings a piece of music and movement into your home.
The bell
As soon as the figures begin to move, the clock's little bell starts to chime. Its bright sound mingles with the melody of the music movement and the call of the cuckoo – just as the bell on the farm once rang in the end of the working day and called everyone together for a convivial evening.
The result, on every full hour, is a little concert of bell chimes, music and cuckoo call that brings the whole scene to life.
The beer drinkers
On the other side of the terrace, two beer drinkers have made themselves comfortable. In perfect calm they sit together, raise their tankards and toast one another – a symbol of the conviviality and easy-going spirit for which the Black Forest is so well known.
Every gesture, every fold of the clothing, every facial expression is lovingly worked out – small works of art that give the scene its very own character.
The mechanical 8-day movement
Inside the card players clock works a mechanical 8-day movement – the pinnacle of cuckoo clock movements. Once wound, the clock runs for a whole week: it drives the pendulum, the cuckoo call, the music movement and all the moving figures, entirely without battery or electronics.
The design with pendulum and the characteristic pinecone weights has its roots in the Black Forest of the 18th century, where the clockmaking of the farmhouses grew into a world-famous craft tradition. To this day the principle continues almost unchanged: the descending weights supply the energy, the pendulum sets the beat – clockmaking artistry in its purest form.
Winding the clock is simple: once a week the weights are drawn back up on their chains – a small ritual that has been part of living with a genuine Black Forest clock for generations.
