Orient Express

A true collector’s piece that combines three unique sound mechanics into one exquisite creation—flutes, bells, and a musical movement come together to immerse us in an enchanting realm of refined elegance.
As luxurious, delicate, and refined as its namesake, Orient Express takes you on a journey to new horizons.

Description

Orient Express is a marvel of mechanical complexity, bringing together unique crafts in a single creation. Much like the fabled train, which combines the finest artisanal skills and showcases them within a moving masterpiece, Reuge offers a unique musical experience within a precious Amboyna wood case.

For Orient Express, we selected a trio of Tchaikovsky’s timeless melodies: ‘March of The Toy Soldiers’ from The Nutcracker, ‘Sleeping Beauty,’ and ‘Waltz of the Flowers’.
