The first Black Forest Clock was designed and made by Franz Anton Ketterer in the small village of Schönwald near Triberg, Germany, in the depths of the Black Forest. Over the following years, with the inventive genius, cleverness and dexterity of the inhabitants of the region, the clock industry developed rapidly. Today, the wood carvings are still handmade by skilled masters as they were 200 years ago. The Black Forest Clock symbolizes the past, present and the future. As ancient inhabitants of Germany who employed their long winter months in making Black Forest Clocks with richly handcarved decorations from various woods, take this opportunity to make your own great looking replica of a Black Forest Clock in the warmth of your home. |
