TimeZone has a picture of the newest music box from Reuge. The Francastel is mechanical singing bird alarm clock which has a movement that consists of 250 mechanical parts assembled by hand. When the alarm sounds the bird comes out of its nest, flaps its wings, moves its tail, opens its beak and then disappears after 12 seconds. The tiny warbler is covered with genuine bird feathers. The clock is covered in pear wood with the columns and base in polished aluminum and other versions are available in black China lacquer, burl amboyna or galuchat.
