Engstler cuckoo clocks: a Black Forest family tradition

Founded in 1952 in Villingen-Schwenningen, Engstler is a family-run Black Forest company. A pioneer of the quartz cuckoo clock, it creates animated chalets and carved linden models. Here is what sets an Engstler cuckoo clock apart.

A family company since 1952

The company was founded in 1952 in Villingen by Josef Engstler. Today it is run by Gerold Engstler, the third generation of the family, with around twenty employees and a team of decorators. The cases are made from local linden wood, and the figurines come from Val Gardena, a valley in South Tyrol renowned for woodcarving.

The pioneer of the quartz cuckoo clock

Engstler helped develop the first quartz movement for cuckoo clocks, and for a long time it was the only company to offer them. It also makes mechanical cuckoo clocks, but on our site its models are all quartz.

An Engstler quartz cuckoo clock stands out in several ways:

  • no winding: the movement runs on batteries, and the weights are decorative;

  • the call is a recording, often followed by an echo;

  • musical models then play one of their twelve melodies, from the Cuckoo Waltz to Für Elise;

  • a light sensor silences the sound as soon as the room goes dark.

Some models add a selector (cuckoo and music, cuckoo only or silence) and a volume control, like this clock with raised leaves. Our guide explains how quartz works.

A tip for reading references: at Engstler, Q stands for quartz, M for music and T for dancers. A 4491QMT model is therefore quartz, musical and animated by dancers.

Our Engstler cuckoo clocks

Our selection ranges from a small 16 cm (6 in) chalet to large 50 cm (20 in) scenes:

  • animated chalets, such as this chalet with a half-timbered facade, where a woodchopper raises his arm, the water wheel turns and dancers spin with each melody;

  • small chalets, such as this chalet with green shutters decorated with flower boxes, a fir tree and a red mushroom;

  • more understated designs, such as this brown-toned chalet simply decorated with a carved fir tree;

  • carved cuckoo clocks, decorated with leaves and birds, some with painted flowers.

Care and authenticity

The VdS certificate is reserved for mechanical movements: a quartz cuckoo clock cannot receive it, even when made in the Black Forest. Our Engstler cuckoo clocks are designed and assembled in Villingen-Schwenningen.

As for care, a soft brush on the carvings is enough, with no chemical products. Change the batteries when the clock slows down or the sound weakens, and keep it away from heat, direct sunlight and humidity. Our article on the mistakes that damage it helps you avoid them.
