Cuckoo Clock

In the early 17 th century, it was believed to be very good luck to hear the cuckoo bird singing
in the forest. The farmers in Germany used logs to build the clock which housed the lucky
call of the Cuckoo bird; and so the cuckoo clock was born.

This cuckoo clock from Germany, dated 19 th century is a mechanical clock. The clock is
fitted in a house-shaped wooden case with a cock on top and leaf carvings on four sides with
two hanging metallic weights.
