The cuckoo clock, Switzerland.

Italy, for thirty years, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and the Renaissance. And Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy, peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock!”

Harry Limes, ‘The Third Man’
