Early within the 17th Century a lot of years prior to clocks were becoming carved inside 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 identified description of a Cuckoo Clock. At that time Europe was in the middle of a weather phenomenon called the "Little Ice Age" which brought highly 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. It goes on to describe how the mechanical cuckoo can automatically open it is beak though at the same time the cuckoo can move both the wings plus the tail. As the beak opens and closes one hears the call of the cuckoo. Inside the clock are two organ pipes which are responsible for creating the call of the cuckoo. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Charles Rennie Mackintosh you are going to see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks developed.
Domenico Martinelli an ordained preist (1669) was the author of a book on elementary clock which bore the title "Horologi Elementari". In this book Domenico advocates working with the call of the cuckoo to designate the hours. At that time the mechanics of a working cuckoo clock was already identified, and any clockmaker who could also ready would recognize that it was both practical and advantageous to have the cuckoo sound off the hours. Consequently cuckoo clocks began appearing in areas that had not previously been known for their clock generating. It could be several extra decades before Cuckoo Clocks began appearing in the Black Forest.
Clocks could 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 creating, and brought back to Germany a wealth of new suggestions. Soon immediately after, clocks became fairly elaborate, and were typically decorated with moving figures which include roosters crowing and people dancing. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Charles Rennie Mackintosh you will see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks developed.
At the end of the eighteenth century and up to the middle of the nineteenth century Cuckoo Clocks essentially consisted of a a flat wooden face with the workings of the clock attached behind the face. On best of the face of the clock was place a semi circular piece of wood which was adorned with stunning designs and which housed the cuckoo bird. During the cold winter nights the clock makers would function generating their attractive extremely decorated clocks. Inside the Spring the clocks were then sold by door to door by clock peddlers who carried the Cuckoo Clocks by means of a rack which was carried on their backs. Whole families would work in their cottages creating the Cuckoo Clocks and each and every loved ones member had the expertise of generating certain pieces of the clock which was then assembled by but another loved ones member. Styles of Cuckoo Clocks: There are numerous styles of Cuckoo Clocks, one of the most familiar becoming the Swiss Chalet Style which evolved about the end of the nineteenth century.
