Schneider Black Forest 13 Inch Musical Beer Drinkers and Bell Tower 8 Day Movement Cuckoo Clock

The hand carving that Schneider employs for all its clocks is clearly evident on this Black Forest chalet cuckoo clock. This clock features a hand carved roof, base, ornaments, a bell tower with working bell, and four German beer drinkers. Two beer drinkers raise their steins to the call of the cuckoo on every half and full hour, while the other two raise their steins to the music that plays on the hour. This clock also features dancing couples figurines who move to two beautiful twenty-two note Swiss melodies. This cuckoo clock is finished with an antique stain. 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. The cuckoo clock operates on an eight day movement with an automatic night shut-off, making time keeping simple and enjoyable.

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.
