Manufacture Reuge is a renowned Swiss ‘Maison’ specializing in luxury music boxes and singing bird automata. Founded by Charles Reuge in 1865 in Sainte-Croix, on the ‘Balcon du Jura’—a sprawling plateau deep in the Swiss Jura Mountains—it is now the last artisanal manufacturer to preserve this unique combination of art, craft, and savoir-faire, and to continue the grand tradition of mechanical sound.
Established on the premises of the IM’A (Institut de la Mécanique d’Art), still in Sainte-Croix, Reuge stands as a driving force in the realm of mechanical art, a discipline that has been listed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2020.
