Schneider Black Forest 12.5 Inch Musical Wood Chopper 8 Day Movement Cuckoo Clock

This elegant Schneider Black Forest chalet cuckoo clock features an intricately carved German wood chopper that raises his axe when the cuckoo calls at every half and full hour. This clock also features wooden dancing couples figurines who move to two beautiful twenty-two note Swiss melodies. This cuckoo clock is finished with an antique stain and additional accent colors giving it a realistic 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 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.
