I purchased one of your clocks back in November 1990 when I was stationed in West Germany as a gift to my parents. I recently got it back when they passed away. It's still as beautiful and plays the two songs now as it did when I bought it
I stumbled across this while looking up how to fix a loose hand on a clock. Fascinating documentary! I have a newfound respect for the workmanship behind making cuckoo clocks
Fantastic manufacturing process. I am from Mumbai, India and I repair these clocks for last 48 years. The process of making is so fascinating that it is an inspiration for me to handle this legacy with pride. Thank you for making such a good video.
This video makes me respect the cuckoo clock that I repaired even more... I have never in my life worked on a cuckoo clock and I have never thought of how complicated and simplistic all at the same time the cuckoo clock is... Much respect to the men and women who build these marvelous mechanical Masters.
I have a grandfather clock from my grandmother that was made in 1926 and shipped across the sea when my great grandmother bought it. It's absolutely priceless and I've been offered 20k for it from the original maker in Germany. I'll never give it up.
amazing. thanks so much for sharing this look behind the curtain with the world. Next time I go to Germany I plan on purchasing a cuckoo clock or two from the Black Forest.
This is one of the best UA-cam videos of my childhood. I remember being so amazed by cuckoo clocks that I kept wanting to learn more and more, and I came across this fantastic video and have been in love with it ever since. I recently made a trip to the Black Forest in Germany and bought a cuckoo clock there, rediscovering my passion for cuckoo clocks. I just have one question that I hope could be answered. I really like the background music for this video, and I was wondering if someone could tell me where I could find it.
Hmm, something about the jazzy music, staple guns and high-tech power tools that I found to be off-putting. I guess few things are truly hand-made these days. Still, it was nice seeing artisans work their magic with hammers and chisels.
@@karlmeyer9473 Okay, I posted that 8 months ago and watching and listening again tonight, the music seemed fine (maybe my standards are degrading), but yeah, the jazz if fine. Maybe leave that trumpet out, though. You have to admit pneumatic staple guns are a disconcerting thing to see in an old world craftsman’s shop, no?
I have an excellent chalet-style Kuckucksuhr from this region. I chose not to have the melody, because there are only two corny tunes available and I don't want to hear them every hour. I wish they made one that plays "Deutschland Über Alles"
I have a Hekas, it's pricey, but I think these should last decades if not mistreated. I admit I prefer the mechnical kind in spite of their many drawbacks, because I bought my clock to have a classic mechnical works with the classic German woodworking. One thing that I noticed, is that the duration of my clock is not as long as I thought they had said when I bought it. But that's not really relevant, as you simply need to wind it daily, and they consider it a daily movement, so it doesn't matter if it's 28 hours or 36 hours, or whatever it is.
Does Regula not assemble the mechanism for the cuckoo clock makers? I see their logo there while they were putting the mechanisms together. It's fascinating. I guess I had thought that they just make and assemble the mechanisms and then sent them to the makers to use in their clocks.... ?
Nice video. . . Is there any Black Forest clock maker that makes a fully jeweled cuckoo clock? My small collection of 0-jewel Black Forest clocks is 6 cuckoos and 2 shields.
Dont buy an 8 day cucko clock which has 3 weights. Why? because the manufacturer are stupid. They make this clock that has to have a 12 foot ceiling for you to wind it once a week. and you have to have a ladder if you are not taller than 5'6" to set the dial. Forget seeing the animation it's to high. Now if you don't mind winding it twice a week then you can put it at any height.

What a great video. I've had Black Forest cuckoo clocks my entire life. I have one in my home and my wife and I are planning on getting another one.
I love cuckoo clocks and always wanted to make them but right now I'm repairing one which is just as good, I love your work.
Forever cuckoo clocks
What about a big Dildo-clock? Every midnight a dildo pops out with a "oooohhhmmmmhhhh" moan....

I just saw it in the description. Thanks!
Actually, what was in the description was only the closing song. I’d like to find the music for all of the video if possible.
I bought myself a clock for my birthday about 5 years ago and I love it … wanted one for years
Phil John Me too !
Great background on Cuckoo clocks. Thank you so much for making this video!
Very good to see that there is little to no automation. Really makes them more valuable.

Hummm... I think a couple of politzei need to double march you about until you thank the video producers for their correct choice of music.

I bought a hand built/carved clock in Triberg. A family heirloom for sure.
It sure is I still have my childhood cuckoo clock in storage that my godbrother brought from Germany
The Germans are very creative, making cuckoo clocks. God bless them
I love cuckoo clocks and I even spend my tax refund on a real German made black forest cuckoo clock with a deer head looking over.
No wonder they are expensive. Such work.
I would love to dedicate my whole life to something this great and lasting it would give my life so much purpose
I love Cuckoo Clocks 😊😊😊.
Es maravilloso todo el trabajo que hacen con los relojes cucú!! Desde Argentina Felicitaciones a todos!!..👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
im coo coo for these clocks
Great Documentary video guys! I am doing university research so it was very helpful. Respect !!!
This is the one reason that I want to visit Germany
Me too 😊😊 😊.
Visit the Hanhart watch headquarters while you're in the Black Forest.
Great documentary! Thank you for posting it!
Which clock is he working on at 9:54?

Cuckoo clocks either have a one day movement or an 8 day movement.
@@jeffadcox Or buy more chain and mount the clock up higher.

MUY BONITOS LOS RELOJES , UN ARTE.
Magnifique! Du grand art!
AMAZING 👏👏👏👏
will the clocks value increase in time like a collectors piece?
very well done

?
I've just been educated on why they cost $2000+. 😮 😄
Now I want to make one
No wonder cuckoo clocks are so costly..dey r totally worth it..
priyanka chekuri I want one but so expensive .
😭😭😭
And they will drive you "cuckoo" to repair! =-}
@@sunandank Got one in eBay, no regrets wasting $125 for it, It works so well.
@@ivaporizedmitski I bought one from Munich a few months :D

Here's a fact you may not no.originaly they were going to be rooster clocks.but they couldn't produce the cock a doodle do sound..so cuckoo's it was
one could purchase 4 one for each season
Peccato che non c e' in lingua italiano complimenti stupendo lavoro che arte
Keren sekali
đẹp qua
Sehr gut!
Well , i buy one of those cuckoo watch made in Germany but inside there is an electronic box with two batteries.
You can get clocks that do not use batteries. They are operated by weights that hang from chains. Every few hours, you pull the weights back up.

Please let me know your agent in Hochiminh City, VietNam. If not, please give me contact of respossibility, I will directly contact to buy. Thanks

Hi Gordon, that is a router
