Little weights hanging from under the clock, frequently inside the shape of pinecones on a Cuckoo Clock, are pulled on a normal basis to continue the pendulum's swing and maintain accurate time. The mechanism that makes the clock go "coo-coo" is still utilized nowadays: bellows that push air via tiny pipes, similar to how a pipe organ works. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Cuckoo Clock Germany you can see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks created.
