If there is ever a warranty issue or repair necessary, shipping the clock to Germany may not be ideal. The cuckoo clock should always originate from the Black Forest, but it can be beneficial to buy from a cuckoo expert located in your home country. It has become a cultural icon of Germany.
Today, the cuckoo clock is one of the favorite souvenirs of travelers in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The cuckoo clocks were exported to the rest of the world from the mid 1850s on. It is thought that much of its development and evolution was made in the Black Forest area in southwestern Germany (State of Baden-Württemberg), the region where the cuckoo clock was popularized. It is unknown who invented it and where the first one was made. The mechanism to produce the cuckoo call has been in use since the middle of the 18th century and has remained almost without variation until the present. Some move their wings, open/close the beak while leaning forward, whereas others only the bird's body is leaned forward. A cuckoo clock is a typically pendulum-regulated clock that strikes the hours with a sound like a common cuckoo's call and has an automaton cuckoo bird that moves with each note.
