Cuckoo clock

The highlight of the day is the return of my cuckoo clock from maintenance. After a good 22 years of operation, it had recently weakened a little, which led me to the blog post millennium bug caused me to get in touch with the manufacturer, the Hönes company, to get the watch working again.

Less than a month later, the clock is hanging on the wall again and you can hear it every half hour; Unfortunately, I still only have to imagine their tick-tock, which calms me down at least - that's because I'm also weakening a bit after all these years and that the maintenance of the watches clearly works better. So that you too can get an idea of ​​my watch, I am making a short video available here.

I already had it in one microblog post I mentioned that my better half was there when I was picked up, otherwise there were two clocks hanging on the wall. Because the Hönes company not only maintains its older clocks, but also continues to produce new cuckoo clocks every year. And so the selection of cuckoo clocks is now so immense that there are also clocks that should please even those who would otherwise be able to hunt with cuckoo clocks. Admittedly, I'm not the typical cuckoo clock lover either and prefer the somewhat simpler regulators. But then a cuckoo clock fascinates me again, like this one from 2006.

My better half pulled me away from the watch so quickly I couldn't even get a good picture of her, let alone get a chance to admire the other watches.

Should the weather in the Black Forest become a little more uncomfortable, then you are in good hands in a local watch retailer. At least I could spend my time there happily.

My tip of the day: You can also easily reach Titisee-Neustadt by train. And the Hönes company is just across from the train station. However, you should call ahead and let them know you are coming.
