Early inside the 17th Century numerous years just before clocks had been being 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 will be the 1st known 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 inside the winter. Athanasius Kircher was a 17th century German Jesuit scholar (1650). In his handbook on music Athanasiius described a mechanical organ that had a lot of automated figures which includes a mechanical cuckoo. This book, was the first to document in words and photos the mechanical workings of the cuckoo clock. It goes on to describe how the mechanical cuckoo can automatically open it is beak while at the same time the cuckoo can move both the wings and the tail. As the beak opens and closes 1 hears the call of the cuckoo. Inside the clock are two organ pipes which are responsible for making the call of the cuckoo. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Clock Bar Sign you will see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks created.
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 utilizing the call of the cuckoo to designate the hours. At that time the mechanics of a working cuckoo clock was already recognized, and any clockmaker who could also ready would have an understanding of 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 identified for their clock producing.

Whole families would work in their cottages creating the Cuckoo Clocks and each family members member had the expertise of producing particular pieces of the clock which was then assembled by but a different family members member. Styles of Cuckoo Clocks: There are lots of styles of Cuckoo Clocks, probably the most familiar becoming the Swiss Chalet Style which evolved about the end of the nineteenth century. Probably the most fundamental type of Cuckoo Clock will be the 1 Day Cuckoo Clock which needs to be wound 1 time each and every day.
