Where did cuckoo clocks come from?
Since antiquity there have been timepieces with an automaton bird. The first one is credited to the Greek mathematician, Ctesibius of Alexandria (ca.285-222 BC), who in the second century B. C. "used water to sound a whistle and make a model owl move. He had invented the world's first "cuckoo clock"."Ctesibius may indeed lay claim to the first known "singing" clock which might be considered the ancestor of the modern cuckoo clocks.Later, in the Middle Ages, in 797 (or possibly 801), the caliph of Baghdad, Harun al-Rashid, presented Charlemagne with an Asian elephant named Abul-Abbas and a clock, out of which came a mechanical bird to announce the hours. The maker of this clock remains unknown.On the other hand, the elephant clock, invented by the Arab inventor Al-Jazari, featured a humanoid automaton in the form of a mahout striking a cymbal and a mechanical bird chirping after every hour or half-hour.Finally, in Europe during the Late Middle Ages and later, roosters were used to crow the hours in certain clocks, like the first astronomical clock in Strasbourg Cathedral.According to the sources, the first modern Cuckoo clock was made in the 17th century, as early as 1629, in Bavaria (Germany) by a nobleman for August von Sachsen. The popularity of this type of clock grew over the decades, and after a while most clock-makers in Germany started to produce Cuckoo clocks, as everyone wanted one. Nowadays Cuckoo clocks made in Bavaria have to reach a certain standard to be considered as an authentic Cuckoo clock. These types are provided with an authenticity certificate and also have a registered trademark.
