Cuckoo clock von Engstler, Hekas, Rombach, Trenkle Made in Germay
Cuckoo clocks - nostalgia and a sense of home
The cuckoo clock is known worldwide and symbolizes the Black Forest, the call of the cuckoo and the intricately carved wooden clocks in the typical style. They have been known since the 17th century and their popularity has lasted to this day. In the 19th century, dealers from the Black Forest traveled to many countries to sell the treasured clocks. At that time cuckoo clocks probably adorned every third wall clock in the household. Today, brand manufacturers such as Trenkle and Engstler as well as Black Forest Clocks from Rombach and Haas ensure satisfied customers..
Cuckoo clocks - versatile and popular
The classic Black Forest clocks still score points with their richly decorated case. The carving presents popular depictions such as the cuckoo on the clock top, oak leaves, fir trees and mushrooms. The Black Forest house with its low-pitched roof is particularly popular as a motif for the case. Natural wood tones predominate; in other models, individual carvings are highlighted by colourful hand painting.
Modern cuckoo clocks also feature simple clock cases partly in brown tones, partly in strong yet muted colours. Wood and glass are the trendy materials here. The decorations are minimalist, a small cuckoo, a stylised stag or graphic lines dominate. If you prefer the modern style of living, you'll find it here.
Cuckoo Clocks - Precision from the Black Forest Made in Germany
Besides their distinctive appearance, cuckoo clock lovers appreciate the precision of the movement. Solid German watchmaking skills continue to help cuckoo clocks achieve their popularity. The mechanical clocks are still kept running by the chain pull. If you value this less, you can opt for a battery-operated cuckoo clock. The cuckoo sounds on the hour and half hour, and at the same time the bird shows itself in front of the case.
Our most popular models also play a melody. With some clocks, you have the option of configuring this entirely according to your preference. If you occasionally want to have peace and quiet before the cuckoo, we recommend a model whose striking mechanism can be silenced.
