It's not really informative, but I had to include this supercool animated GIF from the Ronda site:
Intro
A new ETA 2824 alternative, announced at Basel 2016. At the fair price of 60CHF, the R150 is planned to be produced at 100,000 movements per year and looks to be a solid alternative. Ronda is known for their solid quartz movements and I would expect Swiss-grade reliability and timekeeping from their mechanicals.
Guarding the Brand
Unfortunately for microbrands, the Ronda.ch page says "available exclusively as a Swiss Made line, is intended for premium timepieces." So unless you're doing your final assembly in Switzerland, they probably won't sell to you. Which sucks.
