Sign clocks - Black Forest sign clocks

Since the end of the 18th century, the popular sign clocks have been manufactured. For a long time, sign clocks were the flagship of Black Forest watchmaking and even more sought after than cuckoo clocks. 250 years ago, the Black Forest sign clocks were mainly found in the houses of the high nobility. But today, sign clocks are accessible to everyone. The traditional wall clocks, i.e. the sign clocks (also lacquer sign clocks or lacquer sign clocks), are still designed today with great attention to detail and elaborately manufactured. A sign clock usually consists of a square case with a half-arch attached. The motif of the sign clock is still designed by an artist's hand today. This gives the sign clocks the typical look of a clock from the Black Forest. You can find sign clocks from AMS and Mayr.

Sign clocks - Black Forest charm in modern homes Black

Forest sign clocks are enjoying an incredible comeback. The once widespread clocks from Switzerland were initially often found in the houses and country estates of the nobility. Today, all friends of good taste can afford sign clocks, even if they are not hung in the country estate but in the living room.

The Black Forest clocks are just as popular as the cuckoo clock, which is probably generally associated with the Black Forest. Sign clocks consist of a larger, usually square dial, which is partially etended by a semicircle. This sign offers plenty of space for high-quality decorations such as flower garlands or other decorative elements that are painted on.

At the same time, the lacquer shield clocks, as they are also called, are in no way inferior to the charm of the Black Forest cuckoo clocks. On the contrary, they spread a cosy ambience in their very own way and the high-quality workmanship of the mostly hand-painted motifs makes them all the more epressive. The motifs vary in a wide range from simple flower arrangements to scenes from country life and the plant and animal world of the Black Forest.

So if you are looking for a typical Black Forest clock, you should not just buy cuckoo clocks because they are better known, the lacquer shield clocks are just as typical and fit into numerous home furnishings where a cuckoo clock would overload the scenery.
