8 Day Musical Cuckoos are pendulum driven and need winding every 24-30 hours.  Every hour a tiny door in the clock opens to expose the small, cuckoo bird which proclaims the hour by calling the appropriate number of Cuckoo sounds, and then a melody plays.  On the half hour, the cuckoo bird emerges, calls only one time, and then a second theme will play.    Most often the melodies produced by the clock are "The Happy Wanderer", and "Edelweis"  Cuckoo clocks are almost always driven by adjusting weights, but a few Cuckoo Clocks use a spring to operate the mechanism. Three weights hang under the clock suspended on chains.    One winds the clock by adjusting one of the chains, and the second weight when adjusted, works the device to produce the sound of the cuckoo bird.    The third weight is for the music.   Small bellows and pipe within the clock mimic the sound of the cuckoo. While the Cuckoo bird is calling, a gong strikes the appropriate hours. In some varieties of Cuckoo Clock, while the gong is striking, the design of the Cuckoo bird enables it to move..  This works by a robotic arm which lifts the back of the carved bird.  The mechanism to produce the cuckoo call is identical to the instruments in almost every variety of Cuckoo Clock since the middle of the eighteenth century.  The technique is so  dependable that it is still used almost without deviation until the present day.
In the 8 Day Cuckoo Clock the weights are larger and heavier than those on the 1 Day Cuckoo Clock.

A simple wooden Alpine hut in Switzerland used for many years by sheep and goat herders is called a "Chalet"   This single word is the only Swiss addition to Cuckoo clocks.  The charming clocks In the latter part of the  nineteenth century, were highly prized by tourists and became extremely popular in Switzerland.  Travelers loved the elegant articles as Swiss souvenirs.  Three basic styles of chalets are used to make the Cuckoo Clocks, and two of them originate in the Swiss Alps.  The village of Brienz in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland gave its name to one style of chalet, while the other chalet shape is Emmental also an area in Switzerland, and which has a steep roof with a large overhang that almost reaches to the ground.    A Bavarian chalet also has a steep roof and overhanging eaves.  The Bavarian Chalet Cuckoo Clock is the most popular model for the addition of a Swiss music box which plays various melodies.  Often the wooden outer shell of the clock is decorated with carved leaves, birds and animal heads.  On most Cuckoo Clocks Roman numerals are displayed around the dial.

The Hunter or Deer head Clock is a square shaped box which accommodate a small carved Cuckoo bird inside, and outside  the clock is displayed a traditional hunting scene. The head of a buck deer complete with carved antlers is  positioned at the top of the clock in the center. Arrayed around the the dial of the clock often are dead game animals and crossed shotguns .  As with the other cuckoo clocks the Hunter Clock has a pendulum and weights beneath the clock.
