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 idea of a clock. It was a simple style, known 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 called the Hauslers developed. These men were the younger sons of land owners, and utilised clock producing as an extra source of income.

Cuckoo clock producing became a extremely specialized craft with distinct artisans creating various parts of the clock. A pendulum was now employed rather than the old approach, and new innovations were generally taking place. Styles of Cuckoo Clocks Every clock had its own exclusive style, but particular fundamental styles emerged. By the mid 1800's, two styles predominated: the framed clock as well as the railway house. The framed clock consisted of a wooden frame and painted inner section where the clock face could be attached. It was usually painted with Black Forest scenes and had the cuckoo situated in the upper section of the clock. The railway home design was shaped like a home and was normally decorated with grape vines, ivy, flowers, or animals.
