The story:
In the early 17th century, farmers on the farms around Furtwangen began making the first Black Forest clocks during the snowy winter months to supplement their meager livelihood. At that time, they were still very simple timepieces with just one hand, made almost entirely of wood. Over the years, these watches have been further developed. In the 18th century, percussion and musical works were finally installed. The first cuckoo clock was made in 1740; whose inventor was Franz Anton Ketterer. In 1850 the state watchmaking school was founded in Furtwangen. The German Clock Museum is one of the largest museums of its kind.
