Final conclusion: выпускается = производится totally the same. Correct?
I would say Часы делают в Швейцарии, or Часы производятся в Швейцарии.

Собираются is preferable for cars, bigger items like washing machines, kitchen equipment, home appliances.

Производить = to manufacture, produce, but also generate, extract from ground if it's natural gas, minerals. In Russian you can say Производство газа, производство электроэнергии (power generation), производство удобрений (production of fertilizers).

Выпускать in this context is generally 'make, pack, and ship product from a factory'. The meaning is not the same.
