Early in the 17th Century several years prior to clocks had been being 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 is the initial known description of a Cuckoo Clock. At that time Europe was in the middle of a weather phenomenon referred to as the "Little Ice Age" which brought extremely cold temperatures in 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 which includes 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 whilst at the exact 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 making the call of the cuckoo. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Self Winding Clock you are going to see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks produced.
The first version of the renowned clock as we know it today was produced around 1738 by Franz Anton Ketterer, from the village of Sch?nwald near Triberg. It is actually thought that he was inspired by both the cry of a rooster and other clocks decorated with scenes of farm life, but discovered the sound of the cuckoo bird less difficult to generate than the rooster's crow. Germany already had a lengthy history of fine clock-making before the Cuckoo Clock came on the scene. Artisans had been producing ornate clocks entirely by hand, including all of the gears and moving parts inside as well as the casing and decorations. The very first Cuckoo Clock and those following inside the early years of production had been also made entirely by hand. Later, the use of metal parts and also the incorporation of the pendulum supplied extra accurate timekeeping. A pendulum clock has a weight at the end that, once swinging, swings back and forth at the same rate all the time and moves the gears continuously. Small weights hanging from under the clock, generally in the shape of pinecones on a Cuckoo Clock, are pulled on a standard basis to continue the pendulum's swing and keep accurate time. The mechanism that makes the clock go "coo-coo" is still employed today: bellows that push air by means of modest pipes, similar to how a pipe organ works. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Self Winding Clock you might see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks developed.

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 could have other animals, trains or persons that appear to mark the time. Making Cuckoo Clocks became such a preferred industry that craftsmen would try to outdo each other by producing a much more lovely and elaborate clock than their neighbor. Not only the mechanisms of the clocks became a lot 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 wealthy, bold colors.
In 1738, Anton Ketterer added a cuckoo bird to his clocks, and concept rapidly spread. Cuckoo clock making became a extremely specialized craft with unique artisans generating unique parts of the clock. A pendulum was now utilised rather than the old strategy, and new innovations were often taking place. Styles of Cuckoo Clocks Each and every clock had its own one of a kind design, but particular fundamental styles emerged. By the mid 1800's, two styles predominated: the framed clock and also the railway home. The framed clock consisted of a wooden frame and painted inner section where the clock face would be attached. It was often painted with Black Forest scenes and had the cuckoo situated inside the upper section of the clock. The railway home design was shaped like a home and was frequently decorated with grape vines, ivy, flowers, or animals.
