Encounter with François Junod - sculptor and creator of automatons in Sainte-Croix

Sainte-Croix, near Yverdon-les-Bains, is the capital of music boxes and automatons. The sculptor and automatons creator François Junod was born there. He shares his passion, challenges and pride in this new episode of “Encounters in Vaud” - a video series produced by the Lake Geneva Region Tourist Office. Some of his works can be discovered at the CIMA Museum (International Centre for Art Mechanics) in Sainte-Croix. This museum presents a unique collection of music boxes and automatons, which reflect the region’s industrial heritage. You’ll be amazed by so much talent!

I think that if you make a video, in which you criticise the use of an incorrectly-sized screwdriver by someone else, you should not then use an incorrectly-sized screwdriver in your own demonstration.
