Cuckoo Clocks were first mentioned in 1629, but by the 1750s Germany's Black Forest region had begun a long tradition of manufactoring beautiful, accurate timepieces that still fascinate and bring joy to people of all ages.

The original clocks had a flat, painted square wood face, intricately carved, that covered the clock works without benefit of a cabinet.

In the 1850s, Chalet Cabinets became popular - mostly for the benefit of the tourist trade. These Chalets feature carvings of leaves (most oak or ivy), birds, deer heads and other animals.  The weights are always pine cones.

Newer clocks have added color to the stained wood fronts, Swiss music boxes to help the old cuckoo sing his song and animated figures such as woodcutters, moving bar drinkers, turning water wheels and spinning polka dancers.  Almost everyone has a memory of a wonderful, playful cuckoo clock they have seen in their life-time.

Modern cockoo clocks now have a quartz movement which has a switch or a light sensor as that when the lights go off at night the cuckoo "sleeps" as well.

Time Art has a variety of Cuckoo Clocks to meet traditional or modern tastes.
