: »Kurioses Souvenir«
Die Kuckucksuhr gilt weltweit als das Symbol für die Schweiz, was aus historischer Sicht kurios ist: Ihr eigentlicher Ursprung liegt im deutschen Schwarzwald. Dass sie heute in fast jedem Schweizer Souvenirshop die Wände dominiert, ist ein faszinierendes Beispiel für geschicktes Marketing und die Verschmelzung von Alpen-Klischees.

Eine helle Holzwand in einem Souvenirgeschäft ist dicht an dicht mit traditionellen Kuckucksuhren in verschiedenen Grössen und Holztönen bestückt. Die Uhren sind detailreich geschnitzt, oft in Form von Alpenhütten mit kleinen Figuren, Tannenbäumen und hängenden Tannenzapfen-Gewichten. Darunter befinden sich mehrere Regalebenen mit weiteren Andenken: Schneekugeln mit Schweizer Motiven, rote Boxen mit Kreuz-Logo, kleine Kuhfiguren, Plüschtiere und Spielzeugautos. Im Vordergrund steht eine beleuchtete Glasvitrine, die mit zahlreichen Mineralien und geschliffenen Edelsteinen in Violett-, Weiss- und Grautönen gefüllt ist. Das gesamte Sortiment wirkt überladen und farbenfroh.

I've posted a YouTube video that walks through my experience refinishing a case, from my initial case cleaning, my terrible job trying to stain it, the long process of stripping the existing finish and paint, and the successful staining of the case. youtu.be/RT7uZ0IKD7w

I recently refinished a and had to remember which nails go where. Luckily, I had taken lots of photos during disassembly.

The Shining cuckoo clock by artist Chris Dimino.
At the top of every hour, Jack Torrance breaks through the door and says “Here’s Johnny!”, followed by the piercing scream of his wife Wendy!

My mom's friend gave her a #CuckooClock that had been a grandparent's, sitting in a box for 60 years at least. It wasn't working, and she had no attachment to it (it had been in that box since before she was born), so she gave it to my mother, who loves a project.

We took it apart together the other night, generously oiled it, and it's working beautifully again!

One of the bellows was ripped when it got to us, though, so we'll have to find a way to (gently) paper over that hole.

A wooden cuckoo clock sitting on a table. It has blue painted flowers carved on the left, white painted flowers carved on the right, and a painted rifle carved in the middle under the clock face. The clock, with roman lettering, is set to 9.30 with small white hands.

The door for the bird is latched shut, in preparation for repairs.The open back of the cuckoo clock. Two mottled green whistles can be seen inside, responsible for the cuckoos, with fragile bellows above to blow them. A series of levers and wires sits between the bellows, above a complicated brass clock mechanism.

My hand is in frame, removing one of the wires.Me holding the cuckoo clock mechanism out of the wooden shell. It's a brass square with intricate gears inside and levers sticking out outside. The bird is still attached to a wire on top of the mechanism, and two chains are threaded through sprokets at the bottom of the mechanism.

The empty wooden box can be seen in the background.

A text overlay reads "Chains rethreaded. That was a hassle, haha"The same cuckoo clock described before, now hanging on a green wall. The chains hold two weights shaped like pinecones, and the pendulum has some motion blur that indicates it's swinging.

Overlayed text at the bottom reads "Almost two ours and still running strong! We fixed it 🎉"

Joseph Ruff (originally: Ruef; 1810–1888) migrated from #StPeter in #Baden to #Glasgow in #Scotland. There in 1856 he received a shipment that contained two "lineman cabin clocks", which were most probably the first #BlackForest cuckoo clocks in the area, if not of whole Scotland.

Continuing my black and white posts. This shot of the Muji cuckoo clock has started a conversation about getting a fancier, more traditional cuckoo for the house! #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephoto #blackandwhitephotography #cuckoo #clock #cuckooclock #time #stilllife #sonycamera #sonya7rv #adobelightroom

Do Wristwatches Get Any Better Than A Cuckoo Clock?

There are few better ways of asserting your independent spirit as a hardware hacker than by creating your own special timepiece. Even more so if the timepiece is a watch, particularly in this era of smartwatches. Few home-made timepieces though have come as near to wristwatch Nirvana as the cuckoo clock wristwatch from [Kiyotaka Akasaka], which we would venture to name as having won wristwatches. Nobody will top this one in the field of home-made clocks!

Superlatives aside, this is an electronic cuckoo clock on the wrist, with an LED ring dial and a motorised cuckoo, all clothed in an authentically rustic tiny wooden cuckoo clock case. It communicates via BLE with a smartphone, and even has a sound channel for a cuckoo sound. Frustratingly there's little in the way of detail about the electronics themselves, but we're guessing that almost Bluetooth-capable microcontroller could be pressed into service. Take a look at the video below the break.

So we've established that it's a cuckoo clock wristwatch, and that we like it, a lot. It is however not the only novelty cuckoo clock we've brought you.
