When a clock pendulum swings to and fro you can truly watch time fly.
If this is causing the cuckoo clock to stop try pushing the hour hand toward the clock face to snap it back in to proper position doing so will keep the hands from binding and free up the movement.

If the clock is chiming prematurely only about 5 minutes or so before it is supposed to chime on most clocks you can just take off the minute hand and turn the bushing that is in the center of the hand one way or another so it is exactly on the hour when it bongs its melodies.
However the pendulum does swing in a diagonal back to front motion rather than just side to side.
For wall clocks always remove your pendulum before taking the clock off the wall.
I bought a new one figured this one was done for and the same way works when laying on the table but stops when hanging on the wall.

This only takes a few minutes to readjust and all pendulum clock owners should learn how as this will happen eventually.
Only ticks with case on an angle 1 inch or more raised on one edge.
The act of putting the pendulum in motion causes the clock to run until it eventually slows to a stop.
This section is for weight driven clocks westminster or other 15 minute melodies not chiming the hour on the hour.
But the clock has some problem.
