Traditional 5 Leaf & Chalet Cuckoo Clocks
Aus dem Schwarzwald (From the Black Forest) of Germany comes the 
tradition and craft of these unique timepieces......The first Black Forest 
Cuckoo Clock was created over 250 years ago by Franz Kettler in the 
village of Triberg, Germany. The cuckoo clock was meticulously crafted, 
and featured a hand carved cuckoo bird which was animated by various 
weights and pendulums. After the introduction of Kettler's invention, It did 
not take long for the Cuckoo Clock to gain incredible popularity in Germany. 

During the cold German winters, when farming season was over, there was 
an unspoken contest between the rural citizens. Each of them would try to 
create a more unique and detailed cuckoo clock than their neighbor's clock. 
When Spring came around again; they would take their cuckoo clocks to 
town and display them. That is the season when they would show off 
their hard work and sell their cuckoos to admirers.
