Cuckoo clocks, mantel clocks, wall clocks. They all tell time. Grandfather clocks also tell time, but grandfather cuckoo clocks are something else. Imagine an imposing 8 feet tall structure with a cuckoo clock chirping out the time of day. It is something that we don’t come across often. Our ears are more attuned to the booming voice of a majestic grandfather clock.

But that will not surprise us at all. We are accustomed to seeing the creativity of men, marrying technologies and/or works of art to come up with creative things. A grandfather cuckoo clock may not have crossed the mind of whoever invented the grandfather clock. He may just be content with a pendulum grandfather clock ran by gravity. Well, he may have been a bit naïve because nobody can stop people from innovating on, maybe not necessarily improving certain creations.
