In better clocks, the weights are usually heavier as it increases the accuracy of a pendulum. Clock pendulums are usually made out of weights suspended on a wood rod or a metal rod. And the other two having the same weight should be hooked on the either of the rest of the 2 sitesĪ pendulum is the main timekeeping element of a pendulum clock. Moreover, if you are planting these weights yourself, one thing that you must note at this point is that the heaviest one should be hooked on the rightmost side when facing the cuckoo clock. This extra weight works as a music box and completes the whole structure. These weights need to be rewound every single day, or after every 8 days for the cuckoo clock to work. Moreover, a singing Cukoo clock usually comes with one more leaf weight than the normal cuckoo clock. ![]() ![]() The pendulum is often in the shape of a leaf that moves and swings, completing, a single of its oscillation in a single second. The pendulum is mostly made a bit heavy so that they keep on moving by using gravity once their initial motion ( first oscillations ) is out of the way.
