Little weights hanging from under the clock, typically within the shape of pinecones on a Cuckoo Clock, are pulled on a standard basis to continue the pendulum's swing and maintain accurate time. The mechanism that makes the clock go "coo-coo" is still utilised these days: bellows that push air via modest pipes, comparable to how a pipe organ works. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Key Wound Mantel you'll see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks developed.
