Anton Schneider clockmaker of German Cuckoo clocks from the Black Forest
Anton Schneider began producing cuckoo clocks in 1848 in his farmhouse in Schonach / Black Forest. The Schneider family business is now in its 6th generation and has been producing high value cuckoo clocks at its current location since 1952. In the years between 1952 and 1985 the factory building was extended in 7 periods. Nowadays Schneider has one of the most modern clock factories in the Black Forest. In spite of this the old tradition of doing valuable handmade woodcarvings has been maintained and even improved during the last years. Intensive training of young talented woodcarvers has provided Schneider with one of the best woodcarving workshops in the Black Forest.
A love of detail combined with ancient handicraft skills are today the characteristics of the new generation of high quality cuckoo clocks. Schneider guarantees exceptional quality through their own carpentry workshop, woodcarving shop and assembly shop as well as an extremely exact final inspection.
The Anton Schneider company employs highly qualified workers, most of whom have worked for Schneider for the last 20-40 years. Every worker is specialized in the quality production of high value cuckoo clocks. This is emphasized by Schneider's leading position in the production of musical clocks and cuckoo clocks with dancing figurines as well as with moving scenes and handcarved figurines.
Schneider is definitely one of the most renown manufacturers of Original Black Forest Cuckoo Clocks and offers more than 300 different clocks from 19 cm (7 ½ inch) to a gigantic 300 cm (118 inch).
