Go Cuckoo for Cuckoo Clocks

Cuckoo clocks are a humorous and unique addition to any room in your home. From kitsch to eclectic, these unusual clocks are sure to fit into any room in your home. Unlike other decorative clocks that typically look great but serve little purpose, including a cuckoo clock in your home will allow you to keep time while adding a focal point to your space. There are several different types of clocks available that include the infamous cuckoo bird to note the hour. If you are interested in adding an unusual but attractive clock into your home, consider turning to the specific type of cuckoo clock that best fits into your home.

Traditional Cuckoos

The traditional cuckoo’s are those most associated with the type of clock. These timepieces are most original to the antique types that were hand carved in the Black Forest area of Germany. Many of these today still come from this area of Germany and are made using high quality hand crafted techniques that have been passed down through the years. Equipped with a vocal cuckoo bird that announces the arrival of each hour, these traditional clocks typically have a bird or deer with antlers carved into the top.

Chalet Cuckoos

Instead of the traditional bird or deer topped clocks, the chalet clocks feature a small home in which the cuckoo resides. Ranking higher on the kitsch factor, these clocks often feature other moving parts, including dancing Bavarian men and women, milk maid pendulums, and even beer drinkers!

Novelty Cuckoos

Novelty cuckoo timepieces feature even more unusual than the other two types of clocks that feature the main bird. They even break the mold of the traditional wall clock, including the Pine Tree Table Clock, which mimics the look of a stoic pine tree, but works great as a timepiece. Another table clock is the Scherer Cuckoo Clock, which allows the beauty of a chalet cuckoo without having to hammer a single nail!
