Schneider Black Forest 13 Inch Musical Wood Chopper and Sawyer 8 Day Movement Cuckoo Clock

This quaint Schneider Black Forest chalet cuckoo clock features a sawyer that moves his saw, and a wood chopper that moves his axe at every half and full hour to the sound of the cuckoo. This clock also features a moving mill wheel and dancing couples figurines who move to two beautiful twenty-eight note Swiss melodies. Individually hand laid shingles and dark, woodsy colors make this cuckoo clock radiate the traditional feel of the Black Forest. 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 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.
