The Black Forest region of Germany has been the clock making capital of Germany for over 100 years. Birthplace of the cuckoo clock, the Black Forest is known for high quality craftsmanship and innovative designs.

This intricate chalet style cuckoo clock from Schneider features hand-carved bears, dancing woodchucks, and water wheel. The bears come to life every full hour when the cuckoo calls. At the top of each hour, the water wheel rotates, and the four woodchucks dance as one of two beautiful twenty-two note Swiss melodies play. With its antique stain and accent colors, this clock is sure to complement every home and add genuine German excellence to any space. The cuckoo operates on 8-day movement and must be wound weekly. This clock is equipped with automatic night shut-off as well.

Very detailed and deeply carved Forest piece.

The bear, woodchucks and water wheel all move to the music.

The high pitched roof with its hand laid shingle tiles is set forward from two magnificent pine trees.

Plays (twin melody) music, with dancing woodchucks who turn on a platform.

Wooden dial, cuckoo and hands.

8 day rack-strike movement with a cuckoo call on the half and full hour.

Automatic night shut off.

In 1848 Anton Schneider began producing cuckoo clocks at his farmhouse in Schonach, Germany. The Schneider family business has been passed down through six generations, and his family continues to uphold the standards of quality and excellence that were put into place by Anton himself. In 1952 the business was moved to its current location in the Black Forest region and since then has undergone 7 periods of factory growth and updates. Today, the Schneider clock factory is among the most modern and largest cuckoo clock factories in the Black Forest.

Throughout their rapid expansion and growth, the Schneider family has not only excelled in upholding the old tradition of hand carving, but has been able to improve upon their hand carving techniques. To accomplish this, skilled woodcarvers undergo intensive training to learn ancient handicraft skills and an appreciation for detail. The company employs highly qualified workers, most of whom have worked for them for the last 20 to 40 years. Thanks to their highly skilled workers and rigorous final inspections, the new generation of Schneider cuckoo clocks comes with a guarantee of excellence.
