It was the introduction of mass production and interchangeable parts. Before this time clocks were only readily available to the wealthy. The cuckoo clock is usually pendulum driven and strikes the hours employing smaller bellows and pipes that imitate the call of the common cuckoo in addition to striking a wire gong. This mechanism was produced given that the eighteenth century and has remained nearly without variation until the present. Within the nineteen fifties electrical currents ran through quartz crystals which caused vibrations to operate the movements. This kind of movement is employed in many of our wall clocks these days.
