The Diamond music box has an elegant multifaceted design that references the process of refining a rough diamond to uncover its true potential, but also pays homage to traditional craftsmanship and vintage music boxes. It’s made in a village bordering the Black Forest by a small family-run manufacture. They insert the mechanical 18-note chime into blocks of solid indigenous woods which are then trimmed by hand into their perfect diamond shape.
Natural oils of premium quality awaken the unique character of the wood while with a turn of the oversized metal key, Satie starts. Inside, an 18-note musical movement plays Erik Satie’s ‘Je Te Veux’ (I Want You) song, in honor of the composer’s 150th birthday which is celebrated in 2016.
It comes gift boxed (raw brass key included).
