Template:File The Valgranges A07 is a large movement produced by Valjoux (part of ETA in the Swatch Group). The Valgranges brand was launched in 2005. The name Valgranges derives from "Granges" or Grenchen.

The A07 is a derivative of the popular Valjoux 7750. It is a self-winding movement with 24 jewels, ball-bearing rotor, 28.800 A/h. It is designed for larger watches and measures 16.5 lignes.
