Since 1865, REUGE manufactures the most precise and luxury mechanical music boxes and music automaton, in the purest Swiss tradition. Crafted by the careful hands of REUGE's craftsmen, each wooden music box and music automaton reveals its own enchanting melodies and magical worlds. A dynasty dedicated to luxury mechanical music pieces was born, guided by Guido Reuge for over sixty years. Guido became the driving force behind the business.

Intuitive, innovative and avant-gardist, he built the historic factory in Sainte-Croix in 1930 and acquires several competitor companies, bringing real added-value to Reuge. His vision, energy and artistry brought credibility and respect to the mechanical music industry.

The competition of phonographs strongly destabilized the music box industry in the beginning of the 20th century. The difficulties arising from the 1929 economic crisis led to a division of the music box market, with one segment comprising the small movements primarily fitted in bottom-range toys, and the other, the large cartel movements fitted in luxury pieces.
