At the June meeting of Heart of America (KS) Chapter 36, member Will Bond presented a program titled “How Do I Recognize a Black Forest Clock?” He related the earliest developments of the first cuckoo clocks around 1730 to 1760, and talked about several of the famous makers of Black Forest clocks such as Theodore Ketterer, Furderer Jaegler, and Johann Baptist Beha. Will shared pictures and examples of finely crafted clocks with the time sounded by bells, cuckoos, quails, and trumpeters. Will and other members assembled an impressive display of Black Forest clocks at the meeting.
