August Schwer 8-Day Handcrafted Black Forest Carving Bahnhaeusle Train Station Cuckoo Clock

“This iconic Bahnhaeusle style cuckoo clock by August Schwer is an elegant vintage replica of a railroad house clock that became extremely popular in the late 1800s in Germany. The design for its distinctive clock casing is based on a railroad guard’s residence, with the addition of the clock dial and embellishments.

This version by August Schwer remains true to early designs of the highly-popular Black Forest model with the characteristic wood carving of vines and leaves that outline it. The unusual blending of tones from lighter oak to deeper hues creates a weathered and handsome look that greatly enhances the clock’s vintage appearance.

The Bahnhausle clock was created in honor of the railway workers who painstakingly built a track through the tough mountainous terrain of the Black Forest: a feat that’s still considered one of Germany’s greatest engineering miracles of the 19th century. Each worker was given one of these handcrafted timepieces as a token of gratitude for their dedicated service. Every one of these clocks brings with it a part of the region’s proud history, making it an all-time favorite Black Forest souvenir.
