Sainte-Croix - François Junod, mechanical magic

RTS Pass me the binoculars, Blaise Piguet, March 8, 2019

The automaton is neither a robot nor a mechanical puppet, but a work of art for François Junod. He achieves feats where electronics have no hold. Pure mechanics, from spring to tiny cogs, he reveals his passion to us in a magical universe. A world-renowned artist, he has kept a modesty despite the success.

Manufacturer of automata in the great tradition of the 18, François Junod pushes the limits of all mechanics. He gives life to his designers, a soul to his angels and magicians. Today, if he works for the greatest watchmaking houses, renowned jewelers, the Sultan of Oman or the King of Morocco, it is with his personal automatons that he shows himself to be a great artist like an engineering technician.
