2004 Cuckoo Clock of the Year – 8-Day Black Forest Gutshof Estate Clock
This remarkable 8-day Black Forest cuckoo clock, known as the Gutshof Estate, was honored with First Place in the 2004 Cuckoo Clock of the Year Award from the Black Forest Clock Association (VDS). Handcrafted with precision and artistry, it recreates the lively atmosphere of a traditional Black Forest farmhouse. With multiple animated figures, richly detailed carvings, and a towering chalet design, this award-winning timepiece is both a functional clock and a collector’s treasure.
The front of the chalet is alive with activity. To the right, an authentic German Oompah band turns from side to side as the music plays, while dancers in traditional attire spin gracefully on the balcony beneath the cuckoo door. On the left, the Lady of the House pulls the bell rope, causing the tower’s bell to swing in motion with the cuckoo’s call. A loyal farm dog, a curious cat, and a stately horse in his paddock add charm and balance to the farmstead scene. Each figure is hand-painted in vibrant detail, ensuring that every glance reveals something new.
The chalet case itself is a showcase of craftsmanship. Hand-shingled roofing, twin dormers, painted owls on the dancer doors, and rustic farming implements such as wheat bundles and a reaping scythe enrich the design. The large central bell tower gives height and presence, allowing the many figurines and details to shine without crowding the scene. With alternating melodies (Edelweiss and The Happy Wanderer), automatic night shut-off, and Fehrenbach’s exclusive 5-year warranty, this clock embodies the very best of Black Forest tradition. Optional carved wooden weights are available to enhance its authentic look.
