Schneider 12 Inch Black Forest Girl and Clock Peddler 8 Day Movement Cuckoo Clock

Add some rustic romance to your collection with this Schneider cuckoo clock. Made in the Black Forest region of Germany, this chalet style clock features a Black Forest girl and a clock peddler that moves his arm with every strike and cuckoo call. Skilled artisans have crafted this cuckoo clock from the finest quality Black Forest linden wood. The roof of this chalet style clock is adorned with individually hand-laid shingles, which speaks to the level of craftsmanship that goes into the design of this and every Schneider cuckoo clock. Decorative metal pine cones serve as counterweights to the strikes and cuckoo calls that come on both half and full hours. An 8 day movement means the clock will keep time for over a week before needing to be rewound.

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.
