Curious Cat                                         Cuckoo Clocks

Original Black Forest cuckoo clocks are certified by the VdS

 We only sell genuine Black Forest Cuckoo Clocks!

  • All our cuckoo clocks (except quartz clocks) fullfill the quality requirements of the Black Forest Clock Association.
  • The former "Promoting Society"(Förder-Verein) has taken a new name and now works under "Association of the Black Forest Clock" (Verein - die Schwarzwalduhr 'VdS'). This newly formed association has taken on a new task. The members of the board have been concerned about the authenticity of the product for a long time, a product which represents the Black Forest in a most important way. As a consequence it decided to introduce a Certificate of Authenticity. This decision meant that a long nourished wish of Ingolf Haas became true. "We have to give our collectors and customers the guaranty that the clock they bought definitely comes from this area." With these words he phrases one of the essential characteristics guaranteed by this certificate.
  • Black Forest Clocks that are allowed to carry this certificate actually have to keep up a high standard. One condition, for example, is that the clock has been made exclusively in the Black Forest. But the proof of origin alone does not suffice to be accepted for the certificate. The clock must also be working purely mechanically and all its essential parts have to be produced in the Black Forest, too. There is no chance to receive the highly desired certificate for quartz clocks or for clocks running by solar energy. Chairman Ingolf Haas says,"Our customers expect mechanically working clocks and that is what makes them stand out." Clock-makers from the Triberg and Titisee-Neustadt area who reach this quality standard can purchase the certificate and add it to their products. By the way - the certificate was designed by artist Benno Gasche from Schonach. To show its internationality it is bilingual in German and English.
     
  • The VdS Certificate of Authenticity:
       
    [... This is an original Black Forest Cuckoo Clock.
    It is driven by a mechanical clock movement and has been produced in the Black Forest.
    Therefore this Cuckoo Clock fulfills the quality requirements of the Black Forest Clock Association (VdS) ... ]
     
             
     Please be aware that many clocks are sold claiming to be certified Black Forest Cuckoo clocks. These clocks are made by a company called Harzer, located in East-Germany.  Harzer does not produce Black Forest cuckoo clocks and uses parts produced outside of Germany.
    If the store/website is not telling you the german brand name of the clock, chances are you are looking at one of these non-authentic cuckoo clocks.
