Nicolas (amanico) introduces the fascinating world of 'music watches,' spotlighting the Girard Perregaux Opera 3. This article delves into the intricate horological art of timepieces that play melodies, a niche that continues to captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike. Nicolas prompts the community to explore other examples of these rare and complex musical machines.

You most probably know the music. boxes, but did you know the " music watches "? 

Girard Perregauxdid it, some 20 years ago. Here in white gold.







Ulysse Nardin too, but some 15 years later, with the Strangers and the Vivaldi. 

Do you know many more? 

Best,

Nicolas

represent the pinnacle of high horological art - one more impressive than the other. Jaquet Droz fits into this category I feel, though its sound is produced from the tubes and pistons.

What a cool musicbox in the shape of a good looking watch. Didn’t know this was even out there.
