2009 Cuckoo Clock of the Year – 8-Day Black Forest Farmstead Chalet
This exceptional 8-day Black Forest cuckoo clock, awarded First Place in the 2009 Cuckoo Clock of the Year Competition, is a true masterpiece of German craftsmanship. The prestigious award, presented by the Black Forest Clock Association (VDS), celebrates the artistry and detail that make this farmstead design one of a kind. With its hand-shingled roof, half-timbered façade, and richly carved woodland scenery, this clock combines heritage storytelling with authentic Black Forest tradition.
Unlike most chalet clocks, this model features two fully carved outbuildings in addition to the central farmhouse, creating a unique multi-structure design. To the right, a rustic chapel with its own bell tower is surrounded by pine trees, fences, and a gravel path, while a farmer with his dog and dairy cow stands nearby. To the left, a free-standing storage shed balances the scene, complete with farm tools, barrels, and a boy caring for a small goat. Every detail, from the woodcarving bench to the hay cart and hidden animals, brings the farmstead to life.
With animated dancers, a hand-carved cuckoo bird, alternating melodies (Edelweiss and The Happy Wanderer), and an automatic night shut-off, this award-winning cuckoo clock blends function with artistry. Optional carved wooden weights are available for a more traditional finish. Backed by Fehrenbach’s exclusive 5-year warranty, this timepiece is both a functional clock and an heirloom-quality work of art.
