Germany already had a long history of fine clock-making before the Cuckoo Clock came on the scene. Artisans had been creating ornate clocks entirely by hand, which includes all of the gears and moving parts inside in addition to the casing and decorations. The very first Cuckoo Clock and those following in the early years of production had been also produced entirely by hand. Later, the use of metal parts plus the incorporation of the pendulum supplied far more accurate timekeeping. A pendulum clock has a weight at the end that, as soon as swinging, swings back and forth at the very same rate all of the time and moves the gears continuously. Little weights hanging from under the clock, frequently in the shape of pinecones on a Cuckoo Clock, are pulled on a regular basis to continue the pendulum's swing and maintain accurate time. The mechanism that makes the clock go "coo-coo" is still utilized today: bellows that push air through tiny pipes, comparable to how a pipe organ works.
