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.
