After setting up the clock, the music didn't play and the dancers didn't dance; it was very sad. I watched the trouble-shooting videos which were complex for a beginner and called for bending metal wires. Before I attempted to repair the clock, my wife pulled gently on the music weight and that started the music; it has been running well ever since. It was not a good first experience. However, the clock is beautiful and reminds my wife of her mother who was form Bad Tolz, Germany.:-)

I worked with Bob Ellis both before and after purchasing and he was extremely helpful and readily available. He answered all my questions (as many as I had) and it went a long way to me making my decision not purchase the clock, and then he was helpful when I needed to set it up. Would recommend the site to anyone interested.

The clock arrived in perfect condition, well packed. The included instructions along with an article from Bavarian Clockworks on how to hang the clock made the assembly and placement easy. Ours is a chalet style with moving water wheel, dancers, wood chopper and of course cuckoo bird. The detail is wonderfully done and we are well pleased with our clock.

The site was excellent with a wide variety of clocks. I used you on line chat for help in choosing a clock and Charlie who helped me several times was very helpful and patient with my questions.
The clock arrived very quickly and was very well packaged. Set up was easy. The clock was beautiful and exceeded my expectations. On line pictures can't do justice the detail and fine finish.

Site easy to navigate
September 22, 2017

Site easy to navigate. Each Clock on the site has nice detailed photos.
Clock that you purchase will take about 10 days to receive, keep in mind that clock is coming from Germany.
Product is double boxed. Included is your paperwork, instructions on a foldout pamphlet along with a disc.
The clock that I myself had purchased is gorgeous and worth ever dollar I spent.
I will do business with this company in the future.

Great customer service
March 15, 2020

Great customer service. Answered our questions over the phone with no pressure to buy. The customer service agent also provided us with the contact information for a company that sold replacement weights, as we had lost one for an old 1950's cuckoo clock during a move. We ordered and received that weight and now our 70 year old clock once again ticks.

Delivery was fast. We were given a tracking number and could follow the path of our clock.

The clock arrived with our certificate of authenticity and an instruction book that walked us through the set up of the clock, and it was easy to follow. The clock itself is absolutely beautiful, the workmanship and detail is amazing. It is something we are going to be proud to leave to our children and grandchildren.

I bought my husband a clock for Father's Day & it is beautiful! Robert & I spoke a few times via email & phone do to a delay. He went above & beyond to insure I received the clock before Father's Day. Will definitely be buying from them again!

Fast response!
February 1, 2017

Fast response! However I have been having a difficult time getting the clock to run on time. It either seems to be five minutes slow or five minutes fast. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I just can't seem to correct it. HELP!

I am so pleased w/my clock
December 14, 2015

I am so pleased w/my clock. Have waited a very long time for an authentic Black Forest Cukoo Clock.
Being it is the Christmas Season, it only took a few short days for my clock to arrive. Packed well, and
Easy to get set up and running. Looking forward to many years of enjoyment. I highly recommend
Bavarian Clockworks to anyone.
Thanks.

I am a first time buyer
January 18, 2019

I am a first time buyer. I did not know much of anything about cuckoo clocks. After educating myself I picked BavarianClockWorks to get the real, authentic black forest clock. It was the right choice! Through the entire process from picking a clock to setting the pendulum in motion the people from this company helped me every step of the way. I want to thank them for their help and also for creating a beautiful clock. I am sure that I will be purchasing another from them in the future. The craftsmanship and quality of the clock is second to none, and so are the people of BavarianClockWorks! Thanks for your efforts and time.

Easy checkout, great website, very informational
December 26, 2018

Easy checkout, great website, very informational.
Only issue I had was when I received the clock we wrapped it as it was a Christmas gift. When my wife opened it Christmas morning all the heads we broken off the men on the dancing figurines. Three of the figurines were not even on the wheel but loose in the box. It was an easy fix as they were clean breaks and I able to match them to the right bodies and I used a drop of superglue to bond them back. Then put them back on the carousel wheel. Can't even tell they were broken. The clock is absolutely amazing, the wife loves it.

This clock is absolutely gorgeous!
September 6, 2019

This clock is absolutely gorgeous! The workmanship is so well done. The photo from the web page really didn't do it justice. It is so much more beautiful than the photos. It all works perfectly and my husband is delighted with his birthday gift! Thank you so much!

Tremendously positive shopping experience
November 23, 2015

Tremendously positive shopping experience. I found the beautiful Schneider cuckoo clock I wanted at the best price I could find anywhere, and it arrived literally in 2 days. It was packed perfectly -- no chance of breakage, and I got it out of the boxes and up and ticking and cuckooing in just a few minutes with the enclosed instructions. Also received super-friendly and fast email responses from the kind proprietor. I highly recommend Bavarian Clockworks and am so happy with my cuckoo clock (although our startled cats are a little less happy with it! Lol).

Bob personifies true customer service of the highest quality that one does not often find. He does believe that customer interaction does not end with the sale. He is available consistently to answer any questions or solve any problem with any item purchased.He maintains a highly positive attitude towards customer problem solving. My interaction with him made me believe that his philosophy is that nothing is impossible to solve, and he will do anything necessary to resolve the customer problem. True customer support. I definitely would recommend his company to my friends based on my experience. Based on my experience, I can say to any customer,"you can purchase here with confidence and support"

I ordered the Birds 12' cuckoo clock by Adolf Herr (11T8-322/1) for my husband as a gift and it is absolutely beautiful and my husband loves it. Quality craftsmanship! Even when I inquired about changing my order after initially placing it, I received a quick response and the customer service person was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Charlie was very helpful in giving details about the specific cuckoo clock that I like. Bavarian Clockworks.com has the lowest price. I was very excited that my order came very early. But I wasn't able to open it yet because of the ongoing kitchen construction. With the busy holiday season, I'd probably open it and display it in our newly renovated kitchen after Christmas. I highly recommended Bavarian Clockworks.com if you are looking for one. I have searched into many different sites but Bavarian Clockworks has the lowest price. You pay only the advertised price and nothing more. Tax and shipping are included in the price.
