Ronda StartechA New Generation Of Chronographs

Always at the cutting edge of technology and alert to the needs of its customers, Ronda this year launches the first quartz chronograph movement with large date. Called Startech, it is currently available in three different models. In the classic style, there are variants with large date at 12 o’clock (see photo) or a normal date aperture at 4 o’clock, with tenth of a second, thirty minute and ten hour counters at 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock. These are now joined by an exceptional version with large date at 12 o’clock and a single chrono counter at 6 o’clock. The Swiss-made movements are decorated and assembled with eleven to thirteen rubies. With a thickness of 4.4 mm and a diameter of 28.0 mm, they allow the construction of round watch models or special and innovative designs.

Once again, the Ronda group, founded in 1946 by Williams Mosset and based in Lausen, has ended the 2002 financial year on a high note, with turnover in the region of 130 million francs. While sales increased in most countries, this upturn created a number of production worries, and for this reason a new building is being constructed to satisfy increasing demand. Last year, incidentally, this independent group, which employs more than 1700 people worldwide, created a new company in Mendrisio, Ronda Time Center, which, since the beginning of 2003, has been active in bespoke watch assembly, as well as offering a comprehensive range of logistical and other services.
