Artisans had been making ornate clocks entirely by hand, including all of the gears and moving parts inside in addition to the casing and decorations. The first Cuckoo Clock and those following within the early years of production had been also produced entirely by hand. Later, the use of metal parts as well as the incorporation of the pendulum supplied a lot more accurate timekeeping. A pendulum clock has a weight at the end that, once swinging, swings back and forth at the exact same rate all of the time and moves the gears continuously. Small weights hanging from under the clock, generally in the shape of pinecones on a Cuckoo Clock, are pulled on a typical basis to continue the pendulum's swing and maintain accurate time.
