Cuckoo Clocks: A Brief History; Until the early 1600's, time telling devises in Germany consisted of sundials and hourglasses. All of that changed in 1630, when a man named Franz Kettler from Triberg, Germany went to what is now the Czech Republic, and brought back the concept of a clock. It was a simple design, referred to as a wooden beam clock, and had wooden gears and stones as weights. Soon, clock making became a source of pride, and supplied occupation in the course of winter months. A unique group referred to as the Hauslers developed. These men had been the younger sons of land owners, and utilized clock producing as an additional source of income.
Clocks would be created within the winter, and in the spring, clock salesmen (Uhrschleppers) would take them all over Europe. In 1712, Friedrich Dilger went to France to study clock producing, and brought back to Germany a wealth of new ideas. Soon following, clocks became quite elaborate, and had been typically decorated with moving figures for example roosters crowing and people dancing.

Having said that, the families who traditionally produced Cuckoo Clocks were still going strong. They were so skilled and devoted so considerably attention to their craft that individual family members members had developed their talents to specialize in specific parts of the Cuckoo Clock's production. Some would assemble the gears, even though other people may paint the faces. That's why clocks created in the old-fashioned way right now are so attractive and elaborate. Making Cuckoo Clocks is still an vital component of the Schwarzwald's business these days.
