2008 Cuckoo Clock of the Year – 8-Day Black Forest Farm and Millhouse Clock
This extraordinary 8-day Black Forest cuckoo clock, inspired by the historic Gutach Valley, was awarded First Place in the 2008 Cuckoo Clock of the Year Competition. The prestigious award from the Black Forest Clock Association (VDS) recognizes its artistry, detail, and authentic portrayal of farm life. With a hand-shingled roof, a turning waterwheel, a moving bell tower, and intricately carved figures, this timepiece celebrates the heritage of German craftsmanship.
The lively farmstead scene features a wide array of animals and figures. To the right, a hog pen houses two swine and playful piglets, while a German Shepherd stands watch in front of a rustic doghouse. Buckets, barrels, and chickens add realistic detail, while a trio of children laugh and play beside a water trough, cooled by the spray of the mill wheel. A white goose flock and a blue songbird provide bright accents. On the far left, a dairy cow rests by a pond, balancing the design with pastoral charm.
The case is finished in a rich chocolate-brown stain with contrasting balconies carved in delicate gingerbread style. Above, dancers appear on two balconies, each one a child playing a unique instrument, adding music and motion to the farmhouse story. With alternating melodies (Edelweiss and The Happy Wanderer), an automatic night shut-off, and a premium 5-year warranty, this award-winning cuckoo clock is both a functional heirloom and a showcase of Black Forest tradition. Optional carved wooden weights are available for added authenticity.
