In his handbook on music Athanasiius described a mechanical organ that had quite a few automated figures including a mechanical cuckoo. This book, was the first to document in words and photos the mechanical workings of the cuckoo clock.

Cuckoo clock generating became a highly specialized craft with diverse artisans generating distinctive parts of the clock. A pendulum was now employed instead of the old technique, and new innovations were usually taking location. Styles of Cuckoo Clocks Each and every clock had its own unique design, but specific simple styles emerged. By the mid 1800's, two styles predominated: the framed clock along with the railway house. The framed clock consisted of a wooden frame and painted inner section where the clock face would be attached. It was typically painted with Black Forest scenes and had the cuckoo located within the upper section of the clock.
