The first cuckoo clock was developed in the 18th century by watchmakers in Germany's Black Forest. The movement was powered by floating weights, accuracy was ensured by a pendulum. The body of the watch is made of wood and resembles a small country house. The extraordinary design proved to be very popular, and the cuckoo clock has endured for over 300 years. Modern cuckoo clocks enhance the traditional design with a quartz movement that is battery operated. With modern cuckoo clocks, the sound can be regulated and even switched off completely, making the design more practical.
