HerrZeit by Adolf Herr Cuckoo Clock - Magic GreenThis is a Black Forest themed cuckoo clock. It has the figurines of the travelling clock vendor carrying clocks on his back and a lady in her Black Forest costume with a German Shepherd dog. This clock has a half-timbered house with a hand-carved roof and fir trees. The cuckoo calls (and the clock vendor's arm moves) once on the half hour and on the full hour according to the time. The cuckoo calls can be turned off. The clock is personally signed at the back by the manufacturer Adolf Herr. His signature guarantees the experience of 7 generations of clock-workmanship.

In the 1780's Adolf Herr's ancestor, Johann Hiller, built clocks in the Black Forest. His son in law, Johann Baptist Rainer, born in 1763, continued the clock making tradition. His son in law, Christian Herr, born in 1814, was a clock maker too. From then on, the clock making art was handed down from father to son. Bernhard Herr, born 1842, Robert Herr, born 1876, and Rudolf Herr, born 1901, established a family tradition in making fine clocks. Adolf Herr, Rudolf's son, married Gerlinde Eble, whose great-grandfather and father had also been clockmakers. Adolf opened his own business in 1977 - the House of Black Forest Clocks. He and his son Juergen (7th generation) have been creating cuckoo clocks ever since, inventing new designs and, above all, new movements that have found a place in households in Germany and overseas.
