Ronda, the only independent Swiss manufacturer who markets millions of quartz movements, now also offers mechanical timepieces. The “Mecano” product range heralds the return of the brand’s mechanical watch movements, after Ronda’s strong development in various technologies and establishing a broad industrial basis. The objective was to develop an 11½’’’ caliber, suitable for the volume market. As an in-house construction, the R150 boasts a very high vertical range of manufacture and is designed for industrial production. The automatic movement operates with a winding mechanism on both sides by means of a ball bearing. It features three hands, a date window, and has a 40-hour power reserve. Ronda Mecano – available exclusively as a Swiss Made line – is intended for premium watches.
