This Schneider cuckoo clock is a real masterpiece. Made in the Black Forest region of Germany, this clock features a wood chopper, a sawing machine, dancing couples figurines, and a water wheel, all which move on the half and full hour with the call of the cuckoo. The large roof is covered with individually handlaid shingles, and on this design, the bell in the bell tower on top strikes instead of a traditional gong. This cuckoo clock is finished with an antique stain and additional accent colors giving it a realistic and homely feel. Three pinecone weights hang from the bottom: one to keep the time, one for the cuckoo call, and a third for the music that plays, all on both the half and full hour. The clock operates on an eight day movement with an automatic night shut-off, making time keeping simple and enjoyable. Enjoy the full elegance and charm that Schneider has to offer with this beautiful cuckoo clock!

The Schneider Cuckoo Clock Company
Anton Schneider began producing cuckoo clocks in 1848 in his farmhouse in Schonach. Now in its 6th generation of artisan cuckoo clock makers, Schneider continues to produce cuckoo clocks with the high-quality craftsmanship and intricate detailing that has become synonymous with the Black Forest region. Today, the Schneider Factory is one of the largest and most modern cuckoo clock factories in the Black Forest. Despite their size, Schneider continues to hand carve every cuckoo clock, utilizing traditional artisan methods and quality craftsmanship. Schneider's high standards for clock design extend to their workers as well. New woodcarvers go through extensive training, and many Schneider clock makers stay with the company for at least twenty years. Because of this, Schneider is one of the leading cuckoo clock makers in the entire world.
