Schneider Black Forest 12 Inch Cuckoo Clock

The Black Forest Cuckoo Clock - Chalet 8 Day Movement with Children Figurines by Schneider features the intricate detail and precision that has made Schneider cuckoo clocks valuable heirlooms for generations. Hand-carved in the magnificent Black Forest region of Germany, this distinctive timepiece depicts a handsome forest chalet decorated with colorful moving figurines and moving water wheel. The hand-painted children dance, and the seated couple kisses to the hourly cuckoo call. Precise timing mechanics keep all clock movements right on schedule. The nighttime silence feature is conveniently located on the side or bottom of the housing. Decorative pinecone counter weights wind and maintain precise eight-day movement. The assembly measures 14 inches.

In 1848, Anton Schneider began the design and production of hand-crafted cuckoo clocks. Since then, six generations of Schneiders have carried on the family tradition of fine clock making. From its factories located in the heart of Germany's Black Forest, highly skilled artisans hand-carve, paint, and assemble heirloom-quality clocks by exacting standards. Hand-crafting and precise attention to detail are what make the Anton Schneider company industry leaders worldwide.
