Two brothers who own the world’s biggest collection of cuckoo clocks will spend three days moving 750 timepieces forward one hour this weekend - by hand.
Roman, 71 and Maz Piekarski, 69, have spent five decades sourcing their pendulum-driven machines, which are on display at their 'Cuckooland' museum in Cheshire.

00:00 Welcome to Kupu Land.
00:25 In Kupu Land we house the world's largest collection of antique Kupu clocks, over 700
00:32 in our collection.
00:33 Watchwise, if you like, you don't want to make or anything.
00:58 The Kupu Clock Museum is owned by my brother and myself.
01:19 We don't have anybody to leave the collection to.
01:23 We're both getting a bit old now, so we are looking for a body that could take Kupu Land
01:31 on, hopefully keep it together for all time, but we still haven't got the time to teach
01:38 people, and we don't care where we have to do it, so that they'll know how to maintain,
01:46 look after, give guidance to us, whatever is necessary.
