Early within the 17th Century numerous years 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 is the very first known description of a Cuckoo Clock. At that time Europe was within 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 a lot of automated figures including a mechanical cuckoo. This book, was the very 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 while at the identical time the cuckoo can move both the wings along with the tail. As the beak opens and closes 1 hears the call of the cuckoo. Inside the clock are two organ pipes that are responsible for creating the call of the cuckoo. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Wall Art Clock you can see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks developed.

It was a simple style, referred to as a wooden beam clock, and had wooden gears and stones as weights. Soon, clock producing became a source of pride, and provided occupation throughout winter months. A unique group known as the Hauslers developed. These men had been the younger sons of land owners, and utilised clock creating as an extra source of income.
