Anton SCHNEIDER

Crafting Timeless Heirlooms from the Heart of the Black Forest Since 1848.

A Heritage of Horological Artistry

For more than 160 years, Anton Schneider has stood as a guardian of tradition and an innovator in craftsmanship. What began in a rustic Schonach farmhouse has flourished into a legacy spanning six generations - each dedicated to perfecting the art of the original Black Forest cuckoo clock.

Since early 2026, the baton has been carefully passed on to a new Owner, Hanhart 1882 in the quaint village of Gütenbach. A Black Forest village with its own deep horological heritage: Hanhart 1882, the world-renowned manufacturer of wristwatches and stopwatches, has been based here for 100 years.

Today, we harmonize time-honored techniques with contemporary precision, creating clocks that are not merely timekeepers, but treasures meant to be passed down through families around the world.

The Art of Modern Tradition

While our facilities rank among the most advanced in the Black Forest, our soul remains rooted in handcraftsmanship. Every clock reflects this balance: artisanal woodcarving, nurtured through intensive training and mastery, meets impeccable mechanical reliability.

We proudly sustain and evolve the heritage of hand-crafting, blending meticulous detail with timeless design. Each piece tells a story—a symbol of nature, tradition, and unparalleled skill.
