Association of Black Forest Clock Manufacturers ensures that you get an original Black Forest Clock. 

You wonder why it is so important? 

The elaborate production of cuckoo clocks is characterized by almost 300 years of tradition in the Black Forest. Most of the production steps are still done by real handwork today. Artistic skill and craftsmanship are essential for the creation of a cuckoo clock. There are only a few master craftsmen left in the Black Forest who practice this traditional craft. It is a special form of craftsmanship, which from our point of view is absolutely worth preserving, because what are we without our traditions? 

The high quality standards of the manufacturers and the origin from the Black Forest is confirmed with the certificate of authenticity. This certificate is issued only for original Black Forest clocks, which are driven by a mechanical movement and manufactured in the Black Forest. This establishes a strict demarcation from imitation products that have nothing in common with an original Black Forest cuckoo clock.

Modernity has long since found its way into the world of cuckoo clocks. Modern design and traditional Black Forest watchmaking art combined, form a fresh appearance of a classic. The unthinkable advance waagte the manufactory Rombach und Haas and inspired many people with the new shapes and colors. So many that the trend has become very popular in recent decades. Today, the manufactory is one of the exclusive manufacturers, known for quality and uniqueness.

The new design language reduced the detailed chalets and filigree carved traditional cuckoo clocks to minimalistic birdhouses with high quality glazing and lacquering under targeted use of extraordinary ornaments. Clear lines and high-quality workmanship make the cuckoo clocks popular designer objects.

Not only the shapes are new, but also in the choice of materials unusual types of wood are used - the series "Würfel Vogelfrei" (Cube bird free) is made of bamboo wood in black forest.

Even architecture lovers will find "their" cuckoo residing in a Bauhaus-style cottage. The "latest fashion" are energetic cuckoo clocks in the form of pyramids and cuckoo clocks with glass front.

A classic among Black Forest cuckoo clocks is a carved cuckoo clock. For generations, the wooden ornaments have been artistically designed in genuine handwork. Today, the carvers still show their high level of artistry and delight with traditional motifs carved mainly from linden wood.

These include the ornaments made of foliage that encompass the birdhouse. A hand-carved bird resides on the roof peak. The bird motif is a widespread and characteristic representative among traditionally carved cuckoo clocks.

A popular traditional motif is the hunting piece. A roaring stag or deer head with antlers crown these watches. Other traditional elements are hunting trophies attached to the sides. A hunting horn is usually found in the lower section.

The level of detail of the carving determines the effort required of the carver - the more intricate and detailed the motif is carved, the more exclusive a cuckoo clock is. Depending on the size, a master carver works from a few minutes to several days on the carvings. With the purchase of a genuine Black Forest cuckoo clock, you can be sure that you are buying a unique piece. A certificate of authenticity from VdS testifies to the originality and quality.

The popular Chalet cuckoo clocks are the replicas of the Black Forest houses with the typical Black Forest life motifs. Each clock of this type tells its own story. Traditionally dressed figures in recreated scenes from the life of the Black Forest invite you to discover the detailed and intricately designed cottage.

At every hour the ensemble awakens. As if on a small theater stage, the motif is transformed into a lively performance from life - the cuckoo calls from the cottage, the figures move and the mill wheel turns in the process. The models with music and dancers complement the whole spectacle with melodies and dance interludes.

The most famous representatives are the clocks with lovers, woodchoppers, beer drinkers and shepherds. The choice is huge and ranges from simple hats with a few figures to a manor with dancing figures and a brass band.
