Early in the 17th Century lots of years just before clocks were becoming 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 will be the very first known description of a Cuckoo Clock. At that time Europe was inside the middle of a weather phenomenon referred to as 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 quite a few automated figures such as a mechanical cuckoo. This book, was the 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 although 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 that are responsible for producing the call of the cuckoo. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Kitchen Wall Clock you'll 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 known, and any clockmaker who could also ready would understand 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 making. It could be several far more decades just before Cuckoo Clocks began appearing within the Black Forest.
On most Cuckoo Clocks, when the movement on the inside strikes to mark the hour, a cuckoo bird appears out of a door and returns behind the door when the gong or other sound stops. Some clocks may perhaps have other animals, trains or men and women that appear to mark the time. Generating Cuckoo Clocks became such a popular industry that craftsmen would attempt to outdo each and every other by creating a a lot more stunning and elaborate clock than their neighbor. Not merely the mechanisms of the clocks became far more sophisticated, moving from wood to metal, but also the decorations, which progressed from watercolor paints and square faces to elaborately carved faces painted in rich, bold colors.
In 1738, Anton Ketterer added a cuckoo bird to his clocks, and idea rapidly spread. Cuckoo clock making became a highly specialized craft with diverse artisans making different parts of the clock. A pendulum was now employed instead of the old approach, and new innovations were constantly taking location. Styles of Cuckoo Clocks Every clock had its own unique style, but certain 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 would be attached. It was generally painted with Black Forest scenes and had the cuckoo situated in the upper section of the clock. The railway home style was shaped like a house and was often decorated with grape vines, ivy, flowers, or animals.
