Early in the 17th Century lots 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 will be the very first recognized description of a Cuckoo Clock. At that time Europe was inside the middle of a weather phenomenon known as the "Little Ice Age" which brought incredibly 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 numerous automated figures such as 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 although at the very same time the cuckoo can move both the wings along with 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 Lighted Clock Sign you might see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks developed.
