    I live in the Black Forest. The older cuckoo clocks don’t just sound awful, but they look like a demon has infested it.

    Exhibit A

      The one from my childhood is almost identical to this one, plus the three weights from the video pelespirit linked. Even the “IIII” instead of “IV” for the four*. I have no idea on its geographical origin, but it still exists — I saw it last week, now it haunts my brother-in-law and nephew my sister inherited it.

      *something I’d only understand years later - “IV” is for Jupiter (IVPITER). Just a bit of respect for the old gods that survived.
