Cuckoo clocks, which originated in 17th Century Germany, are driven by a pendulum and weights that pump bellows to imitate the sound of the cuckoo bird, and also strike a small gong. Cuckoo clocks were prized craft objects, with makers from the Black Forest region showing their clocks at fairs and shows. Clockmakers later made versions with tiny birds that would pop out. Today, antique cuckoo clocks are admired for their ornate frontispieces and intricate works.
People have been collecting clocks for centuries, and there’s a lot to learn. From famous makers like Ansonia, New Haven, Ingraham, Waterbury and Sessions to functional categories like wall, grandfather (long case), mantel, regulator, cuckoo and alarm, there’s a wide variety of clocks to choose from and learn about.
