Original cuckoo clocks Quality from the Black Forest since 1948 It was in the year 1730 that the clockmaker Franz Ketterer created the first cuckoo clock in Schönwald in the Black Forest. He succeeded in imitating the natural cuckoo call with two different bellows. Today this typical Black Forest clock ticks in almost every living-room throughout the world and has brougth fame to its home country. During the long winter months when the farms were snowed-in handcrafted cuckoo clocks of different styles with rich carvings were created by love of detail combined with inventing imagination and fine-art skill. Gradually this production became the home industry of the Black Forest people. In the summer months the clockmakers travelled on foot with their clocks carried on the back during long journeys throughout Europe. They became the pioneers of the German clock industry and made it world-wide known. Till today the carvings and clock cases are handmade by skilled workers according to the tradtion of many centuries. We also make our clocks by hand and only use exact mechanical movements and high quality carvings for our production. By this handcraft of high standard we offer our customers reliable time-pieces.
