Cuckoo clock
The first black forest cuckoo clock was designed by Frank Anton Kettler by Frank Anton Kettler and built in a small village Schönwald near the German Trieberg in the back of the black forest. Ketterer was able to reproduce the call of the pigeon by skillfully using the bellows which generates two different sounds. During the following years, the watch industry has developed rapidly in the black forest. With their ingenious genius, skill and dexterity, residents of the area made cuckoo clocks with rich hand-carved decorations of various forests during the long winter. In 1808 there were 688 watch makers and 582 watch shops in Triberg and Neustadt district. During the long winter, the farm snowed and the people had plenty of time to make many styled handmade cuckoo clocks with rich and diverse sculptures.
The first watch in the black forest was called "Timber beam timepiece" and was built in the farm called Glashof around 1640. The watch was made entirely wooden, including movement. These original watches developed into a watch called "Schilderuhr" which added hand-painted, minute hands, and chime at the beginning of the 18th century.
A clock of a pigeon in the world is regarded as a symbol of a black forest. Since the 18th century, watchmakers in this area have specialized in developing this type of watch. The cuckoo clock has become known all over the world thanks to the pedestrian "clock carrier" from the black forest which literally carried back watch with backpack. The first model of a cuckoo clock was a painted wooden clock. The watch consisted of a nearly square plate for the face of the watch and a raised semicircle and was decorated luxuriously. The cuckoo itself was supposed to be found in a semicircle behind a small door. This type of clock was created after about 1730 seconds and was considered a specific watch style of Black Forest. However, the exact origin of the cuckoo clock is not completely clear until today. In the mid-nineteenth century, cuckoo clock had two major visual forms. As its name suggests, "Framed Clock" had a wide painted inner section with a strong wooden frame and watch face attached. A pigeon was located at the top of the decorated surface and was included in other decorative scenes. The basic shape in the form of a house with wooden decorative elements was developed to include scenes from everyday life. The earliest watch of this type had a face of a wooden watch in the form of white numbers, hands and fir. today. Grape leaves, animals, forest plants and hunting grounds are characteristic of this typical cuckoo clock. When you dance a couple with a traditional dress, you will automatically move to music. Alternatively, the mill wheel rotates in an hour while the farmer chopping the tree. When a pigeon calls, the feathers themselves move wings, beaks and rocks back and forth. Despite fluctuations in demand in the watch market, the production of cuckoo clocks in the black forest has never been interrupted.
Cuckoo bird
Cuckoo is in Africa, Asia, Scandinavian. They are slim bodies and the length is about 13 inches. They have horizontal limits on the blue gray head, the breast and the upper part, and the lower part. However, women are also reddish brown, not gray, because they exist as rare (red) morphs. They unconsciously prefer to lay eggs in other bird's nests that will grow pigeons as their own and will not make nests in their place.
