Contemporary Cuckoo Clocks

Expressions of Time has begun carrying cuckoo clocks from Sternreiter and Rombach und Haas.  Each offers the traditional carved cuckoo clock but Rombach und Haas also offers several contemporary designs.  At first glance, you'd never know these clock were cuckoo clocks.

Design meets Cuckoo

Combining stylistic cues from centuries-old clock making with modern design, this clock is a real treasure. It fits perfectly in a very traditional or very modern decor. This fine clock features an animated cuckoo bird which appears and calls the hour and half hour. The sound is mechanically created using wooden whistles and bellows.  This clock features a carved, wooden bird, shut-off switch and 2-year warranty.

This clock was made in the the Black Forest of Germany and is certified by the VDS.  

This is a beautiful and lovingly crafted piece is part of a new series of art works by artists and designers of the Black Forest in Germany. The “ART CLOCKS” are each one-of-a-kind pieces, signed by the artist.

This particular piece was designed and painted by Selina Haas. Selina is a young artist, active in the burgeoning cultural scene of the Black Forest area, who is interested in a fresh and new approach to traditional forms. While the cuckoo clock is an icon of traditional home decoration, Ms. Haas’s work renews the concept utilizing organic and recognizable images.

Rombach und Haas Filigree Wall Clock

This unique clock was designed by the award-winning artist Conny Haas.  

Combining stylistic cues from centuries-old clock making with modern design, this clock is a real treasure. This fine clock features an animated cuckoo bird which appears and calls the hour and half hour along with the sound of a rushing waterfall and other birds of the forest. The clock includes a quartz movement, fine woodcut filigree design; a shut-off switch; an automatic, night shut-off light sensor and a one-year warranty. 

You no longer need a traditional decor to have a cuckoo clock. 

Rombach und Haas Hohenzollern Antique Reproduction Clock

Antique reproduction clock

This reproduction wall clock is truly unique. The clock features:

Powered by the weight of a real rock from the forest
Reproduction of an early 17th Century timepiece
Verge and foliot (pinwheel) escapement
A fine conversation piece
Original Black Forest clock, certified by the VDS

In 1640 the “Waaguhr” was the first mechanical clock that was affordable by the new middle class in Europe. Its simple design allowed for only one hand indicating the hours. The average person of the Seventeenth Century measured time with only three times of day:sunrise, high noon, and sunset.

The Verge and Foliot escapement is the earliest known method of advancing the beat in mechanical clocks. It’s use further developed mechanical clocks, and is a very important step in the history of technology.

The mechanism of this clock is made of wood and is powered by a roughly hewn rock from the Black Forest. This clock is interesting to watch as a moving decorative piece, but should not be counted on for accurate timekeeping. So many technological advancements have occurred in the last four hundred years that should be taken advantage of when you are looking for a clock to keep you on schedule! If you are looking for a more accurate and reliable timekeeper of this style, be sure to check out our castle clocks.
