Weights for grandfather clocks and cuckoo clocks

Weights are central functional parts of mechanical grandfather clocks and cuckoo clocks. They provide the necessary drive energy for the movement, striking mechanism, or cuckoo mechanism. Depending on the type of clock, they are made of cast iron, brass, or zinc, are decoratively designed (e.g., pine cones for cuckoo clocks), and are available in various weight classes and suspensions.

• Grand clocks: Drive for the going train and striking mechanism
• Cuckoo clocks: Drive for the going train, cuckoo call, and music mechanism
• Regulators & grandfather clocks: Precise power delivery for uniform running

Weights must match the respective clockwork exactly in terms of shape, weight, and suspension to ensure reliable operation.
