Cuckoo Clock

A cuckoo clock is a decorative timepiece known for its distinctive design and the sound of a mechanical bird, or "cuckoo," that emerges on the hour to mark the time. Originating in Germany in the 18th century, these clocks often feature intricate craftsmanship, with carved wood and detailed motifs. They usually have a pendulum that helps regulate timekeeping. When the clock strikes, the cuckoo bird pops out of a small door and makes a sound, providing both a functional and entertaining element to the clock. Cuckoo clocks are cherished collectibles and symbols of traditional clockmaking.
