Bertha – Cuckoo Clocks – Part 1

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Stop-motion series about a group of factory workers and their giant machine Bertha, from the same people as Postman Pat.

Sorry, but this one was cut off at the start by a couple of minutes and I don’t know the real episode title! You do get to hear the theme song at the end of Part 2, though.

Sternreiter Kissing Couple cuckoo clock – 1315

Friday, March 26th, 2010

This is a charming piece from Sternreiter. It features a music box with animated kissing couple. This is an affordable clock with all the charm of a Black Forest cottage. While the cuckoo calls, the little German boy sneaks a kiss underneath the window – out of sight. A zither player comes out to play a tune.

This clock is a one-day cuckoo with music. The clock has wooden hands, bird, and a wooden dial. It has several laser-cut features and incredible wood carvings with exquisite detail.

The clock comes packaged in genuine recylced or renewable materials, each clock made and packaged BY HAND by Black Forest craftsmen the same way they have been for hundreds of years. The cuckoo bird, hands, numbers, and dancers are all made of solid wood.

The bird moves along with the mechanically produced music and cuckoo call. The sound of the bird is produced by real wooden whistles and the music box movement is hand made in Switzerland. After the cuckoo calls, the zither player comes out and plays a tune.

How can i get the birds on my cuckoo clock to work and cuckoo?

Friday, March 26th, 2010

My father recently bought my mother a cuckoo clock at an antique store. The clock worked at the store however now that it is at home it doesnt. The weights on the clock wont move and the cuckoo birds do not come out and cuckoo. How can we fix this problem? BTW the cuckoo whistles work as well as the bellows just not the birds and the weights.

Sometimes there is a switch on the back to turn the cuckoo on and off. Otherwise mabye you should talk to the man at the antique store.

What album is the Buckethead song "Cuckoo Clocks" found on?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

He plays it live sometimes and it is a slower tune. I’m not talking about the Album "Cuckoo Clocks from Hell". I mean the actual song by the same name. It is also not the song "the Cuckoo Parade". Help!!

when I googled it with google music, only two albums came up. "Cuckoo Clocks from Hell", and "Kaleidoscalp"
Year: 2005

If it IS on that CD, they aren’t calling it by the name you give. Here is the artist website:

Black Forest Cuckoo Clock

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

On our recent trip to Germany, we spent several days in the Black Forest. Of course, I had to get a cuckoo clock. I had it shipped, and it arrived on Friday. This way, I can stop the pendulum and make “Time Stand Still!”

Cuckoo clocks from Black forest?

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Can anyone tell me some helpful tips for buying a quality cuckoo clock from the black forest, like how to tell if it is good quality. Im trying to purchase one online for arounf 200 hundred dollars plus shipping.

i bought one (in germany) for around $400 in 1992. it is about 12 inches high, 8 inches across and about 6-8 inches deep. it should be completely made of wood except for the metal weights and gears. usually have fancy carvings on the face (mine has a hunting motiff complete with a dear head! the antlers are awesome!). not all clocks have cuckoos, though, so make sure it has the cuckoo and not just a bird or, more commonly a scene with barmaids and the like, that spins ariound in a circle. (if it has the cuckoo with the cuckoo SOUND it will have three weights, not just two.) they should all say either made in germany, or made in bavaria (the southern state in germany where the black forest is located)

have fun and enjoy your clock! they are a true treasure.

can i buy cuckoo clocks at the frankfurt airport itself before check in?

Sunday, March 14th, 2010


This is a very specialist item which you are looking for, and to have a shop on an airport location is very costly. Therefore, small & specalist vendors tend not to locate themselves at airports as it would not be financially worthwhile

On the airport homepage there is a list of shops with their opening hours and a contact telephone number –> http://www.airportcity-frankfurt.com/cms/default/rubrik/9/9873.shops.htm

It does not look like there is anything that would fit your requirements, but you could try calling one of them (e.g. in the Watches section) and asking them, that if they do not sell, do they know if there is such a shop on the location.

Good luck
