These look like Russian Moljina movements. Not necessarily a bad thing, but they don’t all look swiss.
Nice looking watches, though. I do like the customization aspect, for sure.

They have a few movements, but yes, the main watches are Moljina.

This base movement we use is a Cortebert, a Swiss movement. It is a very robust movement in former times also used by Rolex and Pannerai. We use this base movement because it’s very reliable and suitable for beautifying as you can see. That will also make the price difference. The last two movements are our own Manufacture movements.

Thanks for the information! I know all about that Cortebert movement. Moljina based its movement on that, not the other way around.
