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.
