Schneider 12 Inch Black Forest Moving Wanderer Cuckoo Clock

Product Review

Details abound on this Schneider Black Forest cuckoo clock. Made in the Black Forest region of Germany, this chalet style clock features a moving wanderer that moves with the strikes and calls of the cuckoo. More than that though, this chalet clock comes adorned with individually hand-laid shingles and intricate wood carving. No detail is missed in the design of this house: even the wanderer has stone path to walk on! Decorative metal pinecones serve as counterweights to the strikes and cuckoo calls that come on both half and full hours.

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.
