The inspiration comes from the aesthetic of mid-20th-century mechanical watches, which BA111OD has reinterpreted into a contemporary form. Clean lines, thoughtful proportions, delicate dial textures, and distinctive details create a whole that appears elegant, modern, and yet possesses an unmistakable neo-vintage touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most striking features of Chapter 8 is its \u003cstrong\u003e41mm case made of 316L stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rounded lugs and a concave-shaped bezel soften its proportions and give the watch an elegant profile. The crown positioned at 4 o'clock is not just a design detail—it also contributes to comfortable wear. The overall look is complemented by a sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating and a transparent sapphire case back, allowing a glimpse of the mechanical movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dials of individual variants feature subtle textures and delicate color tones. \u003cstrong\u003eSand, White, and Black\u003c\/strong\u003e represent the basic trio, showing how differently the same design can appear depending on the color and finish. In addition, the collection also offers a more distinctive White Carnation Gold PVD version and several models \u003cstrong\u003ewith a moon phase complication\u003c\/strong\u003e. A common element remains the clean dial and emphasis on good readability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside the three-hand models operates the \u003cstrong\u003eSoprod C105 automatic Swiss caliber with date function, moon phase, and small seconds\u003c\/strong\u003e. The movement has 33 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and a power reserve of \u003cstrong\u003e42 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e. Through the transparent case back, one can observe its operation and be reminded that a true mechanical movement is hidden behind the relatively minimalist appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8 is designed as a watch for everyday wear. Water resistance of \u003cstrong\u003e5 ATM\u003c\/strong\u003e, sapphire crystal, and the option for quick strap change give the model sufficient practicality, while its design allows for seamless transition from jeans and a T-shirt to more formal attire. Leather straps, nubuck, and a steel Milanese mesh bracelet are available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHand-assembled in Neuchâtel\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most interesting aspects of Chapter 8 is that the watches are \u003cstrong\u003edesigned, developed, and hand-assembled directly in Neuchâtel\u003c\/strong\u003e. Each piece passes through the hands of Regi and Rebecca, father and daughter, who complete the watches in the BA111OD workshop on Place des Halles. The brand thus relies not only on the Swiss Made label but truly maintains a part of the production and final watchmaking processing directly in the heart of Swiss watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you are looking for an elegant everyday watch with a slight vintage touch, but do not want another retro copy of a well-known historical model, the BA111OD Chapter 8 is a very interesting alternative.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a modern interpretation of classic watchmaking, built on simplicity, quality, and detail – and precisely because of this, it appears natural and timeless on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e: 41 mm (12.75 mm height, 48 mm lug to lug), steel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sandblasted finish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal\u003c\/strong\u003e: sapphire with anti-reflective coating\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 m\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e: mechanical with automatic winding Soprod C105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e: leather, 20 mm width\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimited edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e NO\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Brand\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBA111OD\u003c\/strong\u003e is an independent Swiss watch brand founded by Thomas Baillod in \u003cstrong\u003e2019\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its name comes from the surname Baillod, which has roots in the Neuchâtel watchmaking tradition dating back to 1775. The brand was created with the ambition to offer true Swiss mechanical watches in a different way – with a distinctive own design, a more direct relationship with customers, and an emphasis on ensuring that quality watchmaking is not reserved only for traditional luxury brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8 captures this philosophy perhaps better than any other BA111OD model. \u003cstrong\u003eIt is a gateway to the world of Swiss mechanical watchmaking, but it certainly does not feel like a \"basic\" watch.\u003c\/strong\u003e It offers a true automatic Swiss movement, sapphire crystal, thoughtful design, hand assembly in Neuchâtel, and above all, its own character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BA111OD","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":58987949392220,"sku":"MPS-WATCH-BA1-CH-8-MOON-GREY","price":35990.0,"currency_code":"CZK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/5479\/2540\/files\/12_1.webp?v=1788591539","url":"https:\/\/www.infinitywatches.cz\/en\/products\/ba111od-chapter-8-moonphase-grey","provider":"INFINITY Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
