Cuckoo Clocks

The cuckoo clock has become popular the world over since it first originated in Germany's Black Forest region. They come in an amazing variety of styles, many with hand-painted, delicately carved detailing. Many portray holiday themes and some are built to look like miniature cottages

Seven Leaves & Three Birds Cuckoo Clock by Schneider

The Cuckoo Clock's Unique Design
Most cuckoo clocks sound every fifteen minutes, giving their signature song. Cuckoo clocks usually have a cuckoo bird that emerges with the sound. The first cuckoo clocks operated by using a system of three weights with a pendulum; many still maintain this operation. The weight system requires routine windings - some daily and others in an 8-day cycle - to keep the timekeeping accurate. Battery powered models are also available. However they keep time, cuckoo clocks bring a smile to all who see and hear them.

Different Cuckoo Clock Styles
Cuckoo clocks with wood carvings, mostly birds and animals, are the most traditionally recognized type. Cuckoo clocks with hunting or woodland scenes are a wonderful choice for your cabin, office, or living room. Chalet cuckoo clocks, those shaped like small cottages (and often more vividly colored than traditional clocks), usually have miniature people that emerge from the house, replacing the traditional cuckoo bird. For any occasion or season, cuckoo clocks are a thoughtful, treasured gift.
