Manufacture Reuge, renowned for its legacy of precision musical craftsmanship, has collaborated with students from the ECAL Master in Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship to create a truly unique masterpiece: “Slightly Windy Golden Leaves.” This one-of-a-kind creation will be unveiled at TimeForArt 2024, part of the Phillips New York Watch Auction: XI, on Saturday, December 7th, 2024, at 3 PM EST.


A Harmonious Blend of Art and Craft

Slightly Windy Golden Leaves celebrates the synergy between luxury design, traditional craftsmanship, and the beauty of nature. This exclusive art piece draws inspiration from the rolling hills and landscapes of the Jura balcony in Sainte-Croix, Switzerland, the birthplace of Reuge.

Key Features of Slightly Windy Golden Leaves:

  • Topographic Design: The base of the piece is adorned with intricate, hand-gilded motifs replicating the topography of the Sainte-Croix region. Key elements such as major roads, rivers, and reliefs are meticulously represented, showcasing the artistry of the ECAL students.
  • Golden Wheat Automaton: At the center of the piece, twelve carefully selected and stabilized ears of wheat sway gently in harmony with the music. This mesmerizing motion captures the essence of a golden ballet, bringing to life the graceful dance of nature’s elements, even in the depths of winter.

The Heart of the Creation: Musical Automaton

At its core, Slightly Windy Golden Leaves integrates Reuge’s signature musical mechanism, which brings movement and melody to this piece. The automaton breathes life into the wheat ears, creating a captivating spectacle of art and sound, a true celebration of nature’s serenity.

  • Precision Movement: The musical movement, positioned to mark the site of the Reuge factory and its surrounding wheat fields, pays homage to the brand’s origins.
  • Gilding Artistry: The base features 22-karat gold leaf gilding, applied with meticulous craftsmanship using a variety of drawing techniques. Hours of dedication by skilled artisans ensure that every detail exudes luxury and precision.

Inspiration: The Dance of Nature

The creation draws inspiration from the fields of Sainte-Croix and their golden wheat, swaying gracefully with the wind. Through this artistic interpretation, Slightly Windy Golden Leaves evokes a sense of contemplation and tranquility, reminding us of the timeless connection between nature, art, and craftsmanship.


TimeForArt 2024: Celebrating Luxury Craftsmanship

Slightly Windy Golden Leaves will be presented at TimeForArt 2024, a charitable auction showcasing exceptional works of art, design, and craftsmanship. Held as part of the Phillips New York Watch Auction: XI, this event highlights the importance of supporting emerging talent and the timeless value of artisanal creation.

  • Manufacture Reuge: With over 155 years of history, Reuge continues to lead in the creation of luxury music boxes and automaton art, delivering emotion through movement and melody.

Conclusion: Where Vibration Creates Emotion
