Early within the 17th Century numerous years prior to 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 initial recognized 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 very 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 numerous 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 is beak though 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 producing the call of the cuckoo. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Sessions Mantle Clock you can see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks created.
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 identified, and any clockmaker who could also ready would realize 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 known for their clock creating. It could be a couple of more decades prior to Cuckoo Clocks began appearing in the Black Forest.

By the mid eighteenth century numerous clock makers had set up stores and had been producing cuckoo clocks that worked with the aid of wooden plates and gears. The clocks were beautifully carved and decorated with hand painted shields. The first Cuckoo Clocks were incredibly basic having only square faces and painted with water colors.

There are plenty of conflicting stories and legends which tell the story of the origins of the Cuckoo Clock inside the Black Forest, but none of the stories is often verified.

Within the Spring the clocks had been then sold by door to door by clock peddlers who carried the Cuckoo Clocks by means of a rack which was carried on their backs. Whole families would work in their cottages making the Cuckoo Clocks and each family members member had the expertise of producing specific pieces of the clock which was then assembled by yet yet another family members member. Styles of Cuckoo Clocks: There are lots of styles of Cuckoo Clocks, probably the most familiar becoming the Swiss Chalet Style which evolved about the end of the nineteenth century. The most basic kind of Cuckoo Clock is the One Day Cuckoo Clock which wants to be wound 1 time each day. Next there is the Eight Day Cuckoo Clock which wants to be wound only 1 time per week.
