Early in the 17th Century numerous years before clocks had been being carved within the Black Forest, Philipp Hainhofer (21 July 1578 - 1647)a merchant, banker, diplomat and art collector in Augsburg, wrote about a cuckoo clock which was owned by Prince Elector August von Sachsen. This is the 1st recognized description of a Cuckoo Clock. At that time Europe was in the middle of a weather phenomenon referred to as the "Little Ice Age" which brought really cold temperatures within the winter. Athanasius Kircher was a 17th century German Jesuit scholar (1650). In his handbook on music Athanasiius described a mechanical organ that had lots of automated figures which includes a mechanical cuckoo. This book, was the very first to document in words and pictures the mechanical workings of the cuckoo clock.

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's now the Czech Republic, and brought back the concept of a clock. It was a very simple style, 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 special group known as the Hauslers developed. These men were the younger sons of land owners, and utilised clock producing as an extra source of income.
The very first Black Forest Cuckoo Clocks: It's not recognized who built the very first cuckoo clocks in the Black Forest, but is is identified that this fascinating and appealing clock swiftly circumvented the realm. Among the earliest known Cuckoo Clock makers was Franz Anton Ketterer (1676-1749) whose heritage is inside the Sch?nwald in Schwarzwald. By the mid eighteenth century numerous clock makers had set up stores and had been producing cuckoo clocks that worked with the aid of wooden plates and gears. The clocks had been beautifully carved and decorated with hand painted shields. The very first Cuckoo Clocks were pretty basic having only square faces and painted with water colors. As the clocks evolved and grew far more refined in their designs, they were also embellished with animated birds who flapped their wings and moved their beaks. There are lots of conflicting stories and legends which tell the story of the origins of the Cuckoo Clock inside the Black Forest, but none of the stories may be verified. We also have to bear in mind that the concept of placing a cuckoo bird in a clock total with sound and movement did not originate in the Black Forest. On the other hand it is actually the folks of the Black Forest who developed in business, and improved on the technology and designs which have created Black Forest Cuckoo Clocks highly desired timepieces all over the world. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Beer Bottle Clock you will see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks developed.
In 1738, Anton Ketterer added a cuckoo bird to his clocks, and concept rapidly spread. Cuckoo clock producing became a highly specialized craft with different artisans making distinct parts of the clock. A pendulum was now utilized instead of the old approach, and new innovations had been often taking place. Styles of Cuckoo Clocks Each and every clock had its own one of a kind design, but specific basic styles emerged. By the mid 1800's, two styles predominated: the framed clock and also the railway house. The framed clock consisted of a wooden frame and painted inner section where the clock face could be attached. It was generally painted with Black Forest scenes and had the cuckoo situated within the upper section of the clock. The railway house style was shaped like a house and was generally decorated with grape vines, ivy, flowers, or animals.
