Original German cuckoo clocks use the pendulum in their timekeeping. This is based on the principle that a pendulum will always swing at exactly the same rate back and forth as long as the weight at the end of the pendulum remains at the same distance and the pendulum keeps swinging. All pendulum clocks work this way, regardless of the size of the clock. The difference is in the rate at which the pendulum swings. You can say that it is all in the weights.
