The Black Forest Cuckoo Clock
The first Black Forest Cuckoo Clock was designed and made by Franz
Anton Ketterer in the small village of Schoenwald near Triberg, Germany, in the
depths of the Black Forest. Ketterer managed to reproduce the cuckoo's call by
the clever use of bellows producing two different sounds.
Over the following years, the clock industry developed rapidly in the Black
Forest. With their inventive genius, cleverness and dexterity, the inhabitants
of the region employed the long winter months in making cuckoo clocks with
richly handcarved decorations from various woods. In 1808 there were already 688
clockmakers and 582 clock peddlars in the districts of Triberg and Neustadt.
With the style and design, plus the affectionately and detailed wood-carvings;
the system of the call of the cuckoo and also the mechanical clock movement are
maintained to this day. The unique styles have made the Cuckoo Clock a timeless
design. In keeping with tradition, the family owned AUGUST SCHWER factory has
been manufacturing Heirloom Quality Black Forest Cuckoo Clocks since
1885.
Our Cuckoo Clocks are only made with the robust rackstrike movement.
This movement allows turning the hands left and right without endangering the
mechanics of the movement. All cuckoo clocks are manufactured in Schoenwald in
the Black Forest/Germany.
