Cuckoo Clocks: A Brief History; Until the early 1600's, time telling devises in Germany consisted of sundials and hourglasses.

how to regulate a Westminster chimes clock so it doesn't sound at night ?
my landlady has a battery wall clock with Westminster chimes, it stops sounding chimes from 11 pm to 5 am and starts again at 6 o clock, she can't hear it of course and I do because my room is just above the living room with the clock !!! being woken up at 6 am on Saturdays and Sundays is not a good idea
how do you regulate so it starts at least at 8 am?
thanks
I tried looking at the back, but there are no pins apart from the one to regulate the clock itself
not sure but have look in the back you might see actuators/pins or settings etc
The first Black Forest Cuckoo Clocks: It is not identified who built the very first cuckoo clocks in the Black Forest, but is is identified that this fascinating and appealing clock rapidly circumvented the realm. One of the earliest known Cuckoo Clock makers was Franz Anton Ketterer (1676-1749) whose heritage is inside the Sch?nwald in Schwarzwald. By the mid eighteenth century a number of clock makers had set up shops 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 had been very simple having only square faces and painted with water colors. As the clocks evolved and grew more refined in their designs, they had been also embellished with animated birds who flapped their wings and moved their beaks. There are several conflicting stories and legends which tell the story of the origins of the Cuckoo Clock inside the Black Forest, but none of the stories can be verified. We also need to bear in mind that the concept of placing a cuckoo bird in a clock total with sound and movement didn't originate inside the Black Forest. However it is the folks of the Black Forest who developed in industry, and improved on the technologies and designs which have created Black Forest Cuckoo Clocks highly desired timepieces all over the world.

Making Cuckoo Clocks was a cottage industry for many years, but with the move to industrialization across considerably of the world within the late 1800s, factories began production of the clocks. However, the families who traditionally created Cuckoo Clocks had been still going powerful. They had been so skilled and devoted so considerably attention to their craft that individual family members members had developed their talents to specialize in certain parts of the Cuckoo Clock's production. Some would assemble the gears, whilst others may possibly paint the faces. That is why clocks made within the old-fashioned way currently are so gorgeous and elaborate. Making Cuckoo Clocks is still an vital component of the Schwarzwald's business today. Despite the fact that factories normally create the gears as well as other metal parts, the outside of the clocks are still hand-carved and decorated just as they were over 200 years ago. Widespread themes of Cuckoo Clocks consist of hunting, family life as well as the military, but there are lots of clocks produced these days with any kind of theme you are able to imagine. Both clocks with standard and whimsical themes is often discovered on on the net and many fine examples of "Kuckucksuhren" and other handmade German folk art.
