I'm trying to find out who the best Cuckoo Clock makers are. Is there someone here that can help me with that or point me in the right direction to find this information?

thanks,
David

Probably the two largest makers of cuckoo clock movements today are Hubert Herr and Regula. Both are German firms located in the Black Forest region. Basic cuckoo movements are either one day or eight day running time. Size of case, animation, music boxes, dancing figures, decorative cases & ornamentation, etc will affect the price, but the basic time keeping and cuckoo function remains the same. Music boxes are separate and not part of the basic cuckoo clock mechanism. At one time decorative ornamentation on the cases was all hand carved, but often today this may be molded composition or plastic. This too will affect price. Replacement parts for either of these two companies products are readily available if repairs are ever necessary.

I went to the Black Forest this year and I bought some clocks at the HÖNES Uhrenfabrik in TITISEE-NEUSTADT D-79811 Germany

I allready bought such a cockoo 15 years ago. No problem with it.
They have hundreds of models
They sell and send anywhere in the world.
