In Switzerland there is a family that has been dealing with Carillon since 1865. In fact, in the small village of Sainte-Croix, Charles Reuge opened the first musical box clock shop. A pioneer of this art, Charles incorporates a musical cylinder into the movement of a watch. 30 years later, in 1886, his son Albert, following in his father's footsteps, converted the family workshop into a small factory to produce musical pieces. From 1930 Guido Reuge will lead the business for the next 60 years. Despite the crisis in the sector due to the introduction of the phonograph on the market and the recession of 1929, Reuge managed to survive and indeed grow more and more. The winning formula from 1960 to today is the manufacturing that characterizes musical creations, which differ and diversify from every competitor on the market. Reuge works tirelessly to produce ever richer sounds and to reproduce birdsong perfectly. Carillon Reuge and the singing of birds Music box Reuge craftsmanship to love Reuge music boxes preserve the magic of the history that created them. Unique objects that cannot be owned, but cherished over time. True creations of human ingenuity, these works of art have developed through generations of craftsmen who have studied and worked throughout their lives to perfect each mechanism. The final result is certainly one of the most extraordinary examples of how a passion manages to overcome every difficulty and historical moment. From an innovative idea was born a project that still plays today, 152 years later, and enchants now more than ever.
