From Germany’s Black Forest comes the return of the beloved Best Made Cuckoo Clock, and with it two old friends: the woodsman splitting logs and his companion, the beer drinker. They share the stage with the classic hand-painted cuckoo, whose two-note call comes from a pair of small bellows. Together they while away the day in honest work, the outdoors, and a frothy pilsner.

Hekas makes our clock in Schonach, where the Kammerer family has made cuckoo clocks since 1938. Hekas builds its birch cases and carving blanks in its own carpentry shop; its master carvers take over from there, and every clock is hung and run for 12 to 24 hours before it ships. Hekas also now carries the name of Hubert Herr of Triberg, maker of our first cuckoo clock.

The clock is fully mechanical. Two weights on chains power the movement, one driving the clock, the sound of the cuckoo, and the motion of the two figures. A slow pull on the chains each day sets them going for a full 24 hours. Handmade exclusively for Best Made in Schonach, Germany.

Product Details
Helmut Kammerer founded Hekas in 1938. Rolf Kammerer took over management in 1981 and was joined in 1998 by Uwe Kammerer, the third generation, a trained wood mechanic and toolmaker who attended the clockmaking school in Furtwangen. The company draws its wood from forests near Schonach. The movement is a one-day mechanical Regular made by the Burger company in Schonach, Germany, with two weights, a pendulum, two bellows, and a strike gong.

The clock chimes the hour on the hour (i.e., six times at six o’clock) and once on the half hour. For all its moving parts, it’s very easy to assemble and just as easy to wind: a slow pull on each chain raises the weights for another day.

Your clock comes with very good instructions, and more help is available online, so setting it up and keeping it running is straightforward. Ongoing care is simple. Wind the clock once a day, and adjust the pendulum from time to time if it runs fast or slow. It's okay if it stops and is not regularly wound. Dust it occasionally, wipe the outside with a damp cloth, and dust the inside through the back panel. Every three to five years, have the movement oiled. With that little attention, this clock will keep the woodsman and his friend at work for years to come.
