Modern convenience combines with Old-World tradition with the Quartz Black Forest Cuckoo Clock with Animated Wood-Chopper by Schneider. This collectible, functional cuckoo clock is made using all the time-tested methods of the Black Forest region, including hand-carving and intricate hand-painted details. But unlike its predecessors, this clock requires no winding; instead, just insert a battery to run the quartz movement.
Made from linden wood from the Black Forest, this beautiful clock features a charming wood chopper who chops wood each time the cuckoo calls, plus bird and double pinecone weights to help keep the time. A hand-spliced shingle roof on the colorful chalet and a gorgeous antique stain complete this high-quality clock. Batteries not included.
About Anton Schneider
Artisan and craftsman Anton Schneider began producing cuckoo clocks from his German farmhouse in 1848. Based on those humble beginnings, the Schneider legacy has lasted for six generations, and their clocks are just as beautiful and carefully crafted as they were back then. Known for their love of detail combined with old world handicraft skills, the highly skilled artisans at Schneider labor to produce clocks that are works of art as well as functional timepieces. With a dedicated staff of specialized workers, the Schneider factory based in the heart of the Black Forest is one of the most popular producers of classic cuckoo clocks in the world today.
Schneider cuckoo clocks are still hand-crafted with the same methods used by Anton Schneider back in 1848. Each clock is made from seasoned, carefully selected Black Forest Linden wood, then put through rigorous quality control inspections. Each clock includes a two-year manufacturer's warranty.
About the Black Forest region
The Black Forest region of Germany is a wooded range of mountains in the southwest part of the country. Bordered by the Rhine valley, this beautiful region has been known for its production of classic cuckoo clocks since the mid 1700s. The "bird call" feature that makes cuckoo clocks famous is said to have originated in the Black Forest area. Today, the region is home to some of the finest clockmakers in the world, including makers of classic wood cuckoo clocks like Anton Schneider. Clocks in this region are often still produced with handicraft methods of centuries gone by.
