  • This epitomises the craftsmanship produced by Jaquet-Droz and Leschot. Stunning.

  •  I remember Radio South Africa used one like this as an interval signal on their short wave broadcast back in the 1960s....

  • Kind of makes you proud to be a human being to see a fellow human could make something so insanely cool.

  • They don't have craftmanship like that anymore. Just simply amazing they made this over 200 years ago.
