[Discussion] How do we feel about Cauny watches? Anyone owns one? If so what has your experience with them been so far? (alien.top)

So there's several things that confuse me about this Swiss watchmaker.

Starting by...is it really Swiss? The story is that some Polish people started a watch brand in Le-Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland and that's where it started which technically makes it a sort of Bulova (or is it more of a sort of Swatch/Tissot?)

Then the second thing I can't understand is, what movement exactly do they use? They claim they make and use their own in-house proprietary movements, but, from seeing their website, it looks a ton like a ETA movement. Which is more than fine actually but then why act like it isn't one?

Finally: What's going on that somehow despite being a very old Swiss brand they really never caught on and are generally cheap watches price wise?

Do you think someone with one could genuinely say they even have a Swiss watch?

Thanks. Spanish brand but supposedly Swiss watches. This answered my questions. They don't seem bad but idk really probably not exactly a luxury brand
