Un nouveau chapitre pour BA111OD : l’avenir de l’horlogerie se dessine

Un nouveau chapitre pour BA111OD  Worldtempus Swiss independent watchmaker BA111OD has unveiled a refreshed take on its Chapter 6 collection, introducing stainless steel bracelets and a fresh two-tone finish across the line. The update brings a brighter, more versatile aesthetic to the brand’s signature design language, featuring the now-familiar 4 o’clock crown placement and semi-open dial that reveals the inner workings of the movement. According to the brand, the Chapter 6 models now come with a choice of bezels — either a finely ridged profile or a lab-grown diamond-set option — adding subtle brilliance to the 36 mm case. The timepiece is powered by a Swiss-made Soprod P024 skeleton automatic movement, visible through both the dial opening and the sapphire crystal caseback, which features a double anti-reflective coating for enhanced clarity. The watch offers 38 hours of power reserve and 3 ATM water resistance, continuing BA111OD’s focus on accessible precision. Dial options include a textured sunray finish or the aventurine “starry sky” variant, while existing colorways — blue, mint, grey, and champagne — are now also available on the new steel bracelet. The bracelet itself is a five-link stainless steel design, offered in steel, two-tone, or 2N PVD gold finishes, and secured with a butterfly clasp. It remains fully compatible with the brand’s easy-clip strap exchange system, allowing wearers to switch between satin, leather, or metal bands with minimal effort. Creative direction for the Chapter 6 refresh comes from senior designer Liliane Murenzi, with assembly handled by watchmakers Rebecca and Régi in the company’s Neuchâtel workshop. BA111OD emphasizes its local roots, describing the timepiece as a product of Swiss know-how and contemporary design, forged close to home in the heart of Neuchâtel. For the holiday season, the collection is presented in three distinct expressions: the luminous new two-tone versions, the aventurine “starry sky” model, and a rich 2N PVD gold-case edition. Each reflects the brand’s ongoing commitment to making exceptional Swiss mechanical watchmaking more accessible without compromising on craftsmanship or detail.
