Press release
Reuge already is a mythical name in the world of real luxury products.
In the true philosophy of fulfilling dreams, the artists of Reuge have outdone themselves.
Two singing birds with real bird feathers are placed in the box of this one of a kind piece. Each bird sings a different song. Then, in the front, there is a customized 72 notes movement which plays three melodies specially chosen by the customer. Not enough: while listening to this wonderful mechanical music, you see a white gold butterfly moving in sync with the melodies.
L'intégralité de cette création est une commande sur mesure placée par un papa aimant, pour sa petite fille qui This entire creating has been custom ordered by a loving father for his little girl which is very found of butterflies and has a special memory for each song.
Luxury at its fullest extend: It's not about money, it's about getting something very unique. Something so emotional you just can stop dreaming about. - Reuge.
