Germans are known to be a precise people. Set an appointment with one and more likely they will come on time. That’s why it comes as no surprise that they are the inventors of one day cuckoo clocks. If you happen to see one, you’ll be surprised by its workmanship. It’s more than a clock, it’s an art piece.

When buying a cuckoo clock you’ll often have two choices: one day cuckoo clocks or eight day cuckoo clocks. When you say one day or eight day, it means how long before you wind the clock. One day clocks mean you wind it daily. While eight day clocks mean you wind it every eight days. One word of advice, don’t forget to wind it. If you forget, the weight will fall and putting it back can get tricky.
