Reuge

Mechanical Art

Once upon a time a small Swiss village, named Sainte-Croix, became famous for being the lost town of the music box industry. It all started in 1865, when Charles Reuge, created the first musical pocket watch. Twenty years later, his son, Albert, decided to open a music box workshop converting the family workshop into a small factory producing music pieces.

& innovation

Forward-thinking and innovation define Reuge just as much as its respect for traditional craftsmanship. The Brand relentlessly seeks new materials, original themes and ground-breaking acoustics, making way for the beautiful contemporary music boxes of the 21st century. 

Expertise

A Reuge music automaton takes about three months to produce (more for special designs and/or complicated movements), during which our craftsmen breathe life and soul into their creations in every step of the creative process. 

Collection

Back in 2013, the original MusicMachine 1 opened the floodgate for MB&F to collaborate with external creators on projects outside the scope of the wristwatch; it initiated a new “Co-creations” category that invited MB&F to a world beyond that of miniaturized horology.

Like the original version, each of the cylinders on MusicMachine 1 Reloaded plays three tunes, all personally selected by Maximilian Büsser. The left cylinder plays the Star Wars theme, “Imperial March” from The Empire Strikes Back, and the theme from Star Trek. Back on earth, the right cylinder plays Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall,” Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water,” and John Lennon’s “Imagine.”
