From the Reuge Collection, this most handsome box transports us back to an age when church bells told the time and there were no wristwatches. This unique music box plays a different famous "carillon" (a peal of bells) each hour or when required. The cabinet is handcrafted from burl thuya with an inlaid line and lacquer finish. The clock has a Swiss quartz movement. The battery-operated 60 note musical movement plays the following chimes and tunes: Whittington Chime, Salzburg Chime, Westminster Chime (Big Ben),The Triumphal March from Verdi's Aida, Mozart's Turkish March, The Minuet from Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Campana de la Basilika, Flotow's Martha, Beethoven's Fur Elise, Mozart's Glockenspiel from The Magic Flute, The Bells of Corneville I & The Bells of Corneville II. Each tune lasts about 10 seconds.
