I spent 4 days looking for the perfect Cuckoo Clock here in the Black Forest.
I found it here. The clock was put together with me and is simply perfect.

I came across these beautiful Cuckoo Clocks on the Internet and chose one with squirrels. It was delivered today :-) The package was perfect, the bird and the squirrel were well padded and well secured for transportation. […] With just a few simple steps, the clock was up and running. And I’ve been clocking this great clock all day!
