The musical movement is in the style of the work of the renowned watchmakers and goldsmiths Isaac-Daniel Piguet (1775-1841) and Philippe-Samuel Meylan (1772-1845), amongst Switzerland's foremost makers of musical and automaton watches mainly for the Chinese market. Some of their movements were extremely thin, featuring the disc or format with fan teeth, such as the present, a system believed to have been invented by Meylan.
