The Black Forest ("Der Schwarzwald") in southwestern Germany is the house of the Cuckoo Clock (Kuckucksuhr), invented in the region in the 17th century. The long, harsh winters within the Schwarzwald during that time meant men and women spent long hours inside their houses, when they required both something to do to pass the time and an further source of income to supplement their function within the local mines. The largely forested region surrounding them inspired them to start producing wooden crafts. Amongst the goods they developed were nutcrackers ("Nussknackers"), incense burners ("Smoking Men" or R?ucherm?nner), and clocks that mimicked the cry of the cuckoo bird.

Little weights hanging from under the clock, frequently inside the shape of pinecones on a Cuckoo Clock, are pulled on a standard basis to continue the pendulum's swing and keep accurate time.
