The case parts are sent to Switzerland for different surface finishes then shipped again to Barcelona for assembly.
They come in 2 versions: 42mm "Soft" and 44mm "Strong".
They all house a Valanvron 24 caliber and are 50 meters water resistant.
The bronze model has a 2824-2 ETA caliber and is 100m water tight.
Valanvron is a new Swiss company( est.2010) who produces clones from ETA as Sellita.
Them seem to use blank parts from Seagull(Chinese) ETA clones which are finished and assembled along with them own parts in Switzerland.
Making those movement "Swiss Made" by the actual laws.
You can also "build" your own model on them site.
The bronze model is made of "Marine bronze" and limited to 30 pieces: The "Jules Verne" is available right now for 850€ or about 1100$ with today's change.
The other models are going for and around 700-900€
You can even visualize the watch virtually on your wrist with the "augmented reality" feature...
There's a lot of infos and pictures of the process on them site.
I'll let you see by yourself...But first, some snacks or pictures to give you a hint of what we speak about.
