Ronda, a Swiss family concern is once again producing mechanical watch movements. This corner stone was put into place at the end of 2011. After Ronda had strongly developed itself in various technologies and established a broad industrial basis, management decided to go back into the mechanical segment. Ronda's new in-house construction boasts a very high vertical range of manufacture and is designed for industrial production.
A landmark step into the future
The objective was to develop an 111/2''' caliber, suitable for the volume market. After more than four years of intensive work, the R150 caliber will be introduced at Baselworld 2016, an in-house construction with three hands and date.
The automatic watch movement is 4.40 mm high, has a power reserve of 40 hours and its production is highly vertically integrated, which ensures both a competitive cost and flawless quality. The launch of the "Mecano" watch movement line is foreseen for the end of the year. It is planned to ramp up production to industrial quantities within the next few years.
One source for mechanical and quartz
Ronda is pleased to present itself as the only large independent Swiss manufacturer who sells
millions of quartz movements and now also offers mechanical watch movements. This reflects the company's strategy to be an important and attractive partner for watch brands all over the world and throughout the coming decades.
Thanks.
