Carillons à musique or
music chimes developed from elaborate snuff boxes produced in the 18th century.
These snuff boxes would fit well into a gentleman’s waistcoat pocket, and were
produced by watchmakers of Switzerland, Bohemia and Germany.
However, it was in Baghdad that the prototype mechanical music maker was first constructed.
This is Van Credenza’s small musical box.
