Fun Facts: Reuge is a renowned Swiss manufacturer founded in 1865. Famous for its precision-engineered mechanical music movements, often paired with decorative boxes, hand-inlaid floral motifs depicting stylized flowers and vines, typical of Sorrento craftsmanship. These collaborations became popular in the mid-20th century, combining Swiss engineering with Italian woodworking expertise. Reuge movements are known for their 18-note cylinders producing clear, tinkling tones without electronic components—purely mechanical. The box plays the melody "L'amour est bleu" (known in English as "Love is Blue").
