Cuckoo clocks have been made in Germany since 1750, when Franz Anton Ketter of the Black Forest village of Schonwald managed to reproduce the cuckoo bird's song with the clever use of bellows producing two different notes. In the following century, the Black Forest Clock industry developed rapidly. Inventive, dexterous craftsmen spent the long, harsh winter months making clocks with beautiful hand-craved decorations of various woods.. They were so successful that today when the Black Forest is mentioned, people automatically associate cuckoo clocks with the region. The clock cases are made of select linden, pine and spruce woods from the Black Forest. The woods are dried for several years before experienced master carvers handcraft the cases and frames. Each clocks tested for several days before shipment to ensure customers only receive products that are the "Best of the Black Forest."1880's Reproduction8 days mechanical movement cuckoo clock.Two large weights drive the time and cuckoo.
