cuckoo clocks
Bird-announcing wall timepieces
Cuckoo clocks are wall clocks featuring a mechanical bird that emerges from a small door to mark the hour with a two-note call.
Originating in Germany's Black Forest region, they remain associated with Swiss and German craftsmanship.
The traditional design features a peaked wooden house with ornate carving, often depicting forest scenes or hunting motifs.
