The Black Forest Cuckoo Clock

What like tourists, when they come to Germany? Berlin, Oktoberfest, Neuschwanstein. And, of course, the Cuckoo-Clock. I´ve got one, too. And let me tell you: It´s a nice idea for a gift!

The cuckoo clock: Yes, it is popular.... 

The typical cuckoo clock (in german: Kuckucks-Uhr ) is THE synonym for german "Gemütlichkeit", right from the Black Forest (= Schwarz-Wald ).
And: it is funny. I bet, this wooden and carved clock hanging on the wall, with a little bird coming through a door to make the cuckoo call each hour - that´s the reason, why the clock in a cartoon is always a cuckoo-clock!
But the cuckoo-clock is more than a funny cartoon accessory, or a tourist gift. It is antique craftsmanship of that region with a long history.
