   The UnterGunther is a Swiss-French urban explorers team whose activity
   is to restore the invisible parts of the heritage in total
   clandestinity. In November 2005, the UnterGunther infiltrated the
   Pantheon of Paris and, with the help of their professional clockmaker
   Jean-Baptiste Viot, started to restore the abandoned monumental 1850
   Wagner clock before its irreversible state of defacement.

   The UX, the name of Untergunther's parent organisation, is a finely
   tuned organisation. It has around 150 members and is divided into
   separate groups, which specialise in different activities ranging from
   getting into buildings after dark to setting up cultural events.
   Untergunther is the restoration cell of the network.
