Early within the 17th Century lots of years just before clocks had been becoming carved in 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 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 several automated figures including a mechanical cuckoo. This book, was the very 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's beak even though at the same time the cuckoo can move both the wings plus 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.

It's thought that he was inspired by both the cry of a rooster as well as other clocks decorated with scenes of farm life, but discovered the sound of the cuckoo bird less difficult to produce than the rooster's crow. Germany already had a long history of fine clock-making prior to the Cuckoo Clock came on the scene. Artisans had been creating ornate clocks entirely by hand, such as all the gears and moving parts inside in addition to the casing and decorations. The very first Cuckoo Clock and those following in the early years of production had been also produced entirely by hand. Later, the use of metal parts as well as the incorporation of the pendulum provided far more accurate timekeeping. A pendulum clock has a weight at the end that, when swinging, swings back and forth at the very same rate all of the time and moves the gears continuously. Small weights hanging from under the clock, typically inside the shape of pinecones on a Cuckoo Clock, are pulled on a typical basis to continue the pendulum's swing and maintain accurate time. The mechanism that makes the clock go "coo-coo" is still employed these days: bellows that push air via modest pipes, similar to how a pipe organ works. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Rabeneck Foreign Clock you might see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks developed.

The clocks had been beautifully carved and decorated with hand painted shields. The very first Cuckoo Clocks were really basic having only square faces and painted with water colors.
