The case of this watch stands with discreet elegance. Made entirely of mahogany wood, it is characterized by its clean lines and a minimalist approach to decorative elements, enhancing the rich tone and refined grain of the wood.
The true essence of this watch, however, lies in its mechanism that strikes the hours and quarters and features a movement reminiscent of Swiss marshals.
Inside the base there is a roller music box. Upon request, or when passing by, it offers a private concert, with notes that fill the space with music from times gone by. On the side of the case there is the lever for starting on demand and for silence, as well as the one for changing the melody.
The movement of this clock was created by the renowned watchmaker Courvoisier, belonging to a historic family of Swiss watchmakers.
