Cuckoo Clock Weights Weights come in a variety of sizes. Most common are 275 gram weights for 1-day cuckoos, and 1000 (or more) gram weights for 8-day clocks.Click to see full answer. Furthermore, what are cuckoo clock weights made of?Today’s cuckoo clocks are almost always weight driven, though a very few are spring driven. The weights are made of cast iron in a pine cone shape and the “cuc-koo” sound is created by two tiny gedackt pipes in the clock, with bellows attached to their tops.Subsequently, question is, why do some cuckoo clocks have three weights? One pine cone drives the time, the second drives the cuckoo bird and cuckoo sound, and if there is a third weight, it will drive the musical movement. So a cuckoo clock with three weights plays music, and sometimes features moving figurines as well. Similarly one may ask, how do you weight a wind cuckoo clock? Winding (pulling up the weights): Place one of your hands on the clock to steady it, and with your other hand, pull down on the free end of one chain, bringing the weight on the other end up to the bottom of the clock gently. Do this for each weight. This needs to be done each day.How much does a wall clock weigh?Open-faced wall clocks(no frame) 12 inch = 3 lbs, 18 inch =6 lbs., 23 inch = 10 lbs., 29 inch =17, 35 inch = 21 lbs., 46.5 inch = 35 lbs., 60 inch = 75 lbs.
