Kuku man
I have a cuckoo clock from the 1000 clocks store in Black Forest Germany 2 years ago. It was an amazing experience! Cuckoo clocks deserve way more hype
Humble wonderful men.
Oh, wait. Once. When he was in Germany. And the house went crazy. He was buying the clock.
I was never afraid to go to bed .
That clock hung on a wall directly across from my bedroom door . Every time I walked into my room the first thing I saw was the gashes in the wall .
A constant reminder, at least a few times a day, of what was happening.
Should be in museum after they retired! Hopefully my collection will be like this but full of Victorian American kitchen/parlor!
Those should go to a museum. A clock museum.
I'd always heard they were cuckoo for cuckoo clocks in (K)nutsford.
I would love to care for the coo coo's. I have a few of my own, That I could add to the collection. I even have parts from grandfather clocks that I saved, to use & repair other clocks. I have repaired many different types of coo coo clocks. The elderly gentleman that taught me was in his nineties, I met him when I was trying to locate original parts for a coo coo clock, that I bought when I was an exchange student back in grade school. Its not just a hobby, it becomes a passion. The clocks the brothers have amassed, must stay together as a historical collection. I was in a clock museum over in Germany. You wouldn't even believe the thousands of different types & sizes of coo coo's that there are. Each having their own personalities & sounds. One was so large of a clock , it took an entire room up. It played entire songs. It was wonderful experience.
Nutsford sounds about right 😂
Nutsford, England? Amazing 😊
qualifications:
gotta have an interest in clocks.

I was raised in a house full of antique clocks of every kind. They were my grandfather's love. It was kind of like Old Doc Brown's place in Back to the Future. Constant ticking, Some clocks chimed on the hour, some every half hour, and some every 15 minutes, day and night. We'd wind them every Saturday morning. We had an old Blackwood Forest Cuckoo with it's little musical dancers. That one hung in my bedroom as a kid. It required daily winding. I loved that clock.
That's a bum ticker
I don’t mean to be rude, but I think they’re a little cuckoo.
Wow ❤❤❤
What about a museum that can take all of them
Do they all work? 😱
I would love to have one….but just one.
The number of commentators who think you can just leave these to a museum is just sad. These brothers already operate this as a museum and it's struggling to stay open as one. Museums won't just take anything. Storage, maintenance, etc all cost money and successful museums can’t afford something that requires niche care and doesn’t get people through the door.
Real life Gepetto.
How wonderful!
This would be a great job for President Biden! 🤗💙🤗
Someone needs to send all of them cuckoo clocks to joe Biden to let him know that he will fit right in knowing that he is a cuckoo to 😮😊😂😂…..
Someone should hit up the original Ticktock- Frank Fritz! (From American Pickers)
I paid $400.00 for my cucu clock from black forest Germany
Brought it home but girlfriend has a thing against the bird's song
so I haven't heard him for years! 🤨🤬
