So, when the feature of a cuckoo, announcing the time when the hands pass the full hour appeared in the first clocks, this nice little detail was soon used by the blackforest clockmakers and the вЂњblackforest cuckoo clockвЂќ advanced with overwhelming success throughout the following centuries. The blackforest woodworkers were very skillful and creative and always looking for new ways to improve their meagre incomes. During the 18th century every family wanted to have their own clock, or even more than one, and the boom of the clock industry began. The first clocks were rather rustic objects, entirely made of wood, and thus available for most people. It is hard to say who made the first blackforest clock, but the origins surely date back to the 17th century. The farmers traditionally spent the wintertime with carving and creating household things or toys and other wooden objects. Here, severe winter snows in a harsh climate prevented most agricultural work.
