Schneider Black Forest 13 Inch Musical Beer Drinker 8 Day Movement Cuckoo Clock

This elegant Schneider Black Forest chalet cuckoo clock features a delicately carved German beer drinker that raises his stein with the call of the cuckoo every half and full hour. This clock also features a water wheel and wooden dancing figurines who move to two beautiful twenty-two note Swiss melodies. Hand laid wooden shingles and intricate studwork on the front of the chalet style house bring out the full grace of this cuckoo clock. 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 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.
