What means “La Poya” ?
« La Poya » means in french language « the climbing » in high mountain pasture, the transhumance in the Swiss Alps. La Poya is still today an ancestral tradition, where Popular Art and farming meet together.

La Poya is also from 1800 a painting style that illustrates transhumance. Silvestre Pidoux (1800-1871) was one of the main La Poya painter.

La Poya by Reuge
La Poya is a frame that looks animated like a Sound & Light theater : music and light put on a pedestal four La Poya panels, that have been fixed one behind others in the main frame, ensuring depth of field and relief.

The perfect osmosis between:
- two bi-centenarian Swiss craftsmans and traditions : Mechanical Music and La Poya Art.
- the modernity of white lacquer.

 


The mechanism to start the music has been inspired by cuckoo clocks with two fir cones that have been designed with modern inspirations.

Each bell of the mechanical movement is rung by a fine butterfly-shaped clapper. The 3 butterflies are made of founded brass.They are nickel-plated with polished finish.

La Poya's movement is a technical sophistication :
- The speed-governor that regulates the movement runs at 3'400 revolution per minute.
- The movement as a large spring-barrel in order to optimize the power reserve.
- The movement is composed of 112 parts.

How to start music and light ?
1 - Put the on/off button in position 1 (under the frame).
2 - By pulling down the left polished fir cone the music automatically starts and lights switch on.
3 - By pulling down the right polished fir cone the music will stop at the end of the melody and lights will switch off.
