How To Choose Your Wooden Cuckoo Clock

   When thinking about purchasing a cuckoo clock for your family there are several things that you should think about when before your purchase, things like how much money I want to spend , another how much detail do I want .

   There are so many cuckoo clocks out there that you don't just want to look at one and say "that's it" that's the one for us Lets just cover some of the things that you should look at.
  
   You can buy a clock that offers basically three types of windings or ways they keep time or operate.

   Quartz ,this runs off a battery, but from the outside its looks just like a real
cuckoo  clock it has all the sounds moving people and animals.

   Then there's the Traditional or Modern which the traditional has the looks of hand carvings and birds with forest scenes. The modern has smooth angles and a more subtle style. It's up to you which one you opt for.
  One key factor that one must look for is the(VdS)   seal.
without this seal this is not a real Black Forest Cuckoo clock.

  The Wind  Frequency is another important factor ,they can have a 1 Day wind or a 8 Day wind that means you'll have to pull the weights up using chains that hang below either once a day or once every 8 days. I'm sure what ever clock you'll chose will be the right one for you and your home. And happy coo coo 'ing
