The Black Forest ("Der Schwarzwald") in southwestern Germany will be the household of the Cuckoo Clock (Kuckucksuhr), invented within the region in the 17th century. The long, harsh winters inside the Schwarzwald throughout that time meant persons spent long hours inside their houses, when they needed both something to do to pass the time and an further source of income to supplement their work inside the local mines. The largely forested area surrounding them inspired them to begin producing wooden crafts. Among the products they produced were nutcrackers ("Nussknackers"), incense burners ("Smoking Men" or R?ucherm?nner), and clocks that mimicked the cry of the cuckoo bird.
The first version of the well-known clock as we know it today was produced around 1738 by Franz Anton Ketterer, from the village of Sch?nwald near Triberg. It is thought that he was inspired by both the cry of a rooster and other clocks decorated with scenes of farm life, but found the sound of the cuckoo bird easier to generate than the rooster's crow. Germany already had a lengthy history of fine clock-making prior to the Cuckoo Clock came on the scene. Artisans had been producing ornate clocks entirely by hand, such as all the gears and moving parts inside along with the casing and decorations. The first Cuckoo Clock and those following within the early years of production were also produced entirely by hand. Later, the use of metal parts plus the incorporation of the pendulum provided much more accurate timekeeping. A pendulum clock has a weight at the end that, once swinging, swings back and forth at the exact same rate all of the time and moves the gears continuously. Small weights hanging from under the clock, normally within the shape of pinecones on a Cuckoo Clock, are pulled on a regular basis to continue the pendulum's swing and keep accurate time. The mechanism that makes the clock go "coo-coo" is still utilized currently: bellows that push air by way of tiny pipes, comparable to how a pipe organ works. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Flip Alarm Clock you can see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks developed.
