The move by Reuge to focus exclusively upscale and to gently let some more modern designs emerge has paid off. As a sailor I just love this piece and any sailor would. Its a Music Box with mostly traditional movement (a special 4 song, 144 key version) but its design evokes a sleek boat in every way. The base is mahogany with inlaid lines in maple. The sail (optional -- there is another version without it) is made of carbon. The movement is nickel-plated with blued screws, the speed governor with machined, jewelled finish. The base plate is machined and chamfered with Cotes de Geneve edges with polished mirror finish. Spring housing has been modelled to look like a winch. Awesome.
