This machine is an automaton.

It is from Switzerland.

Watches from Switzerland are famous.

Automatons are famous too.

People make watches and automatons with traditional skills.

Now, these skills are on a United Nations list.

The list is for special cultural skills.

Indian Yoga and the Argentine Tango are on the list too.

Francois Junod makes automatons.

His birds can sing.

His objects can move.

Junod is making a new machine of Leonardo da Vinci.

Its eyes move.

Da Vinci’s pen can move too.

Today, our world is modern.

Junod’s work is not popular.

But it is beautiful and different.

The cultural list will help it to continue.
