SECRETS OF THE REUGE MANUFACTURE Guardian of a secular know-how since 1865, REUGE is now the only company in the world capable of producing luxury mechanical music boxes. Moving into the future, REUGE continues to defend the values of tradition, excellence, creativity and quality while developing cutting-edge technologies that offer the music box new perspectives. As the exclusive retailer of Reuge’s creations in Egypt, Felopateer Palace invites you to discover the Art of Mechanical Music. An exceptional destiny The Swiss clock and watchmaker Charles REUGE’s enthusiasm led him to start making watches fi tted with musical movements in 1865. Motivated by the same entrepreneurial spirit, his son Albert opened a music box workshop in Sainte-Croix some twenty years later. Thus a dynasty was born and was lead by Guido REUGE for more than sixty years. In 1929, Guido REUGE ordered the construction of the building that today still houses the REUGE Manufacture and brings great movements to life. An intuitive and briliant designer, he invented and manufactured a ski binding that enabled him to continue making music boxes, even when times were tough, and acquired several competitor companies, bringing real added-value to REUGE and guaranteeing the rapid expansion of the business. Determination, tradition and imagination were the keys to REUGE’s success. As music boxes enter the new millennium, REUGE is applying its singular creativity to producing radically innovative objects. Aesthetics are being re-invented. Guardian of expertise dating back almost one and a half centuries, REUGE is the world leader in manufacturing luxury music boxes worldwide, some of which can be compared to the great intricacy found in clock and watchmaking.	iReuge Music box with 3 functions: Charges the iPhone by induction Plays the music when the phone is vibrating Plays the music on demand Base: black lacquered wood.

The contemporary movement and the latest music box In 2003, a revolution began within the walls of the REUGE Manufacture as the musical movement underwent a technical and aesthetic transformation. The comb and cylinder, always the essential parts of the music box, were now placed in a radically new environment. The contemporary movement now shines with an audacious metallic brilliance. The blued steel screws contrast subtly with the polished surfaces. Inspired by prestige watchmaking, REUGE has created and developer a special «Côtes de Geneve» motif, giving the baseplates a delicate undulation. The jewels set in the speed governor are an understated refl ection of the hundreds of hours of research required to develop the contemporary movement. A spring-housing and on/off button of a completely new style add the fi nishing touches to this harmonious design. The golden brilliance of the traditional movement highlights the music makers’ genius. The result of many years of development, it is still manufactured in accordance with their professional standards.
