More on How Cuckoo Clocks are Made

Meet Christophe from Robert H. Uhrenmanufaktur.

He's a very special clockmaker in the Black Forest in Germany. He produces our very special models #8365 and #8366. There are very few of these clocks made and each is made by hand - one at a time.

Here is a pictorial on the process of carving the special Long Bahnhäusle and Gothic style cuckoo clocks.

New Website

We are proud to announce a NEW WEBSITE at www.NorthCoastImports.com

We think you'll find that it is easier to navigate, there is more information on our clocks, and it's just generally a prettier website in every way.

Please feel free to browse, but remember: new clocks get added every week! We are in the process of adding videos and closeup pictures to every clock in our vast inventory.

The finest clocks on YouTube!

In order to educate more people about the wonder world of fine clocks we at GermanClocks.org have started the huge project of cataloging our finest on short clips at YouTube.com You can see dancers dance, cuckoos coo, dumpling eaters eat, and of course: plenty of clocks ticking at the northcoastimports channel.

Just head over to www.YouTube.com and subscribe to the northcoastimports channel

Watch over the coming year as hundreds of videos will be added (one-by-one) which will explore the beautiful, charming, fantastic world of clocks and automata with intimate detail. Feel free to embed these videos in your own websites for flavor, or perhaps share the video of your newest clock to astound your friends.
