This artful and unique automaton clock and music box house proudly bears the signature of Geneva, a hallmark of unparalleled horological excellence. For generations, Geneva has seamlessly merged traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, setting the standard for luxury timepieces. Adorned with delicate hand-painted details, this exquisite cottage exudes provincial charm. Intricate floral motifs and ivy vines gracefully ascend its façade, drawing onlookers into this detailed masterpiece. A couple stands in the doorway, meticulously carved to exude the height of style and grace.

In the style of the iconic cuckoo clock, a distinguished gentleman, adorned with a pipe and cane, emerges from the balcony doors to herald the passing of time. The charming cottage offers another mechanical marvel, an enclosed Swiss cylinder musical mechanism offering a selection of six enchanting melodies. Levers for changing, repeating, stopping and starting are conveniently located on the back of the house. Musical clocks most often blend only time and musical components, but to find a specimen that also includes the automaton workings as well is extraordinary.
