The code or number (such as "N 0124" or similar identifiers) printed, engraved, or shown under the base or on the movement usually indicates the catalog number, serial number, or the piece/melody code of the Swiss-made production.
Handcrafted mechanism: They use true cylinder mechanisms (with small brass pins) and a hand-tuned steel comb that plucks the individual notes, rather than reproducing audio files.
Number of notes: The movements can range from 18, 36, 72 up to 144 comb blades (or versions with interchangeable cylinders), determining the complexity and richness of the melody.
Premium materials: The sound boxes are made from noble woods such as walnut burl, mahogany, or cherry, often embellished with hand-made floral inlays (typical of Swiss and Italian/Sorrento traditions).
