The design of this exceptional F599 music box, composed of 5'000 elements, takes it’s inspiration from one of the 12 cylinders of Ferrari 599 GTB.

According to its aestheticism, shape, colours and used materials, the F599 is a timeless object and totally customised. A black horse figures on speedometer (tunes indicator). The melodies, 4 in total, refer to national anthems from Switzerland, Italy, Finland and Brazil (reminder of F1 racers nationality - (Kimi Räikkönon and Felipe Massa). The « automatic » function of the gear lever allows listening continually to the melodies and the « manual » function stops the melody
at the end of each tune.
