The Black Forest Cuckoo Clock company was founded in 1938 by Helmut Kammerer after having served an apprenticeship and acquiring the full professional qualification of clock-maker. Indeed, the origins of cuckoo clocks being made in the Black Forest go back as far as the middle of the 18th century. In fact, the first cuckoo clock has been said to have been built in 1750 by Franz Anton Ketterer of Schonwald.

Helmut Kammerer started making cuckoo clocks in his small German shop. Over the years, production facilities were enlarged step by step to the present extension of their factory. Now as before, carving must be done manually by skilled and experienced masters. Hekas guarantees that each cuckoo clock is hung up and rigorously inspected over a period of 12 to 24 hours before being packed for shipment. Hekas cuckoo clocks are also regularly exported into more than 50 countries in all parts of the world. Their line includes one-day cuckoos, one-day musical cuckoos, eight-day cuckoos and eight-day musical cuckoo clocks.
