Antique German Cuckoo Clocks
The emphasis on handcrafting, the high level of skill and attention to detail involved in making cuckoo clocks have made antique German cuckoo clocks a highly sought after collector's item, especially German cuckoo clocks from the Black Forest area.
The talents of various highly skilled workers trained in a specific aspect of production is required to make a cuckoo clock that meets the exacting standards set by traditional clock makers of yesteryear. Many manufacturers have guarded these production techniques from outsiders, sharing the knowledge needed to create these superb timepieces only with the carpenters, wood carvers and other craftspeople involved in making the clocks.
Some of the more common styles of cuckoo clocks less than a hundred years old can sell for under $1,000.00, but a rare antique German cuckoo clock that is certified to be authentic can easily reach millions at auction.
