Building The Mechanism For A
Schneider Cuckoo Clock
The Schneider Clock Company of Schonach, Germany, has been building Cuckoo clocks since 1848. The company is still
owned and operated by the same family who started that clock business more than 160 years ago. It is now
operated by the 6th generation of Schneiders. When they started the business more than a century and a half ago,
they worked out of Anton Schneider's farmhouse. They now operate out of a modern factory and have been at
the same location since 1952. They still build clocks with the same passion
that has driven the company and kept them in business for so many years.

Just about everyone at some time or other has gone into a little clock shop somewhere, and marveled
at a Schenider Cuckoo Clock. You may have enjoyed watching it as it did its Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo to let you know
that another hour had passed. You may have watched the little dancers as the clock's music box played a little
tune, or just enjoyed watching the little pendulum go back and forth, tick tocking the time away. However, most
of us have not stopped to ponder just what went into creating that little Cuckoo clock. The mechanisms are hand
built just as the case is hand built.
Hand built clock mechanisms that are designed for Cuckoo clocks that can be passed from
generation to generation.
