Hand carving is an important part of the production of cuckoo clocks at the Anton Schneider factory in Schonach in the Black Forest. The carvings used on the clocks are mainly made by hand and depict various motifs such as animals, flowers, landscapes and scenes from the Black Forest.
An original Black Forest cuckoo clock is more than just a clock - it is a piece of tradition and craftsmanship. In contrast, modern cuckoo clocks, often fitted with quartz movements, are merely fashion items.
It is possible to convert the movement of a cuckoo clock, but it is recommended that this be done by an experienced clockmaker or cuckoo clock specialist. The movement is a complex mechanism that requires careful adjustment and adjustment to ensure the watch works properly.
We have been awarding the “Black Forest Clock of the Year” award since 2001.
On November 3, 2022, the award was presented again.
