The inspiration comes from the aesthetic of mid-20th-century mechanical watches, which BA111OD has reinterpreted into a contemporary form. Clean lines, thoughtful proportions, subtle dial textures, and distinctive details create a whole that appears elegant and modern, yet possesses an unmistakable touch of neo-vintage style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most striking features of the Chapter 8 is its \u003cstrong\u003e41mm 316L stainless steel case\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rounded lugs and a concavely 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\n\u003cp\u003eThe dials of individual variants work with subtle textures and discreet 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 \u003cstrong\u003eWhite Carnation Gold PVD\u003c\/strong\u003e version and several models with a moon phase complication. The common thread remains the clean dial and an emphasis on excellent legibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the three-hand models operates the \u003cstrong\u003eautomatic Swiss caliber Soprod P024\u003c\/strong\u003e. The movement features 25 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and a power reserve of \u003cstrong\u003e38 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e. Through the transparent case back, one can observe its operation and be reminded that beneath the relatively minimalist exterior, a true mechanical movement is hidden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chapter 8 is designed as a watch for everyday wear. Water resistance of \u003cstrong\u003e5 ATM\u003c\/strong\u003e, a 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\n\u003ch3\u003eHand-assembled in Neuchâtel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most interesting aspects of the Chapter 8 is the fact 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 assemble the watches in the BA111OD workshop at Place des Halles. The brand thus relies not only on the \"Swiss Made\" label but truly maintains part of the production and final watchmaking process directly in the heart of Swiss watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you are looking for an elegant everyday watch with a subtle vintage flair, but do not want another retro copy of a famous 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 feels natural and timeless on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\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: \u003cspan\u003eSandblasted \/ satined finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal\u003c\/strong\u003e: sapphire with anti-reflective coating\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 m\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e: mechanical with automatic winding \u003cspan\u003eSoprod P024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap\u003c\/strong\u003e: leather, width 20 mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimited edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e NO\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #bd8649;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: #bd8649;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Brand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\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 derives from the Baillod surname, which has roots in the Neuchâtel watchmaking tradition dating back to 1775. The brand was created with the ambition to offer genuine Swiss mechanical watches in a different way – with a distinctive in-house 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\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 8 perhaps embodies this philosophy 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":58875440922972,"sku":"MPS-WATCH-BA1-CH-8-SAND","price":18989.99,"currency_code":"CZK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/5479\/2540\/files\/23_2.webp?v=1788589459","url":"https:\/\/www.infinitywatches.cz\/en\/products\/ba111od-chapter-8-sand","provider":"INFINITY Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
