De Bethune specializes in complications, with a traditional-meets-modern design aesthetic that combines classic Roman numerals with bullet-shaped or fully articulated lugs, ogive arch elements and 3-D shapes, including spherical moon phases and unusually shaped hands.

Reuge has collaborated on several projects with watchmaker MB&F on unique clock/music box objects. The Reuge/MB&F MusicMachines 1 through 3, for example, play rock tunes and movie themes, including Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water,” Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall,” and the themes from, Star Trek and The Empire Strikes Back. Instead of resembling traditional music boxes made of exotic woods and marquetry, they resemble spaceships and are made of steel and aluminum.
