The Chapter 8 Moonphase collection debuts with three refined models that speak to different personalities, yet share a common foundation of craftsmanship and character.
Sand by MLB features a sun-kissed champagne hue, designed in collaboration with Swiss designer M.A. Baillod. Its warm tone pairs beautifully with the beige nubuck strap, offering understated luxury with textural depth. The White edition brings minimalist clarity to the forefront, perfect for lovers of clean design and crisp readability. The Grey model introduces a modern edge with its monochromatic dial, contrasted by a striking red small seconds hand and moonphase disc.
Swiss precision through Soprod C105
Inside every Chapter 8 Moonphase ticks the Swiss-made Soprod C105 automatic movement. It brings mechanical poetry to life with a beautifully rendered moonphase complication placed at 6 o’clock, alongside small seconds and a discreet date window. With a 42-hour power reserve and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, it offers reliable, smooth timekeeping backed by premium engineering.
The transparent caseback offers an intimate look at the rotor and decorated bridges, inviting enthusiasts to admire the mechanical soul within. This open view complements the timepiece’s elegant exterior with genuine horological credibility.
Design rooted in classic elegance
The 41 mm stainless steel case embraces a neo-vintage design language, highlighted by its convex bezel, arched lugs, and a distinct crown positioned at 4 o’clock for ergonomic elegance. A double-domed sapphire crystal—coated with anti-reflective treatment—ensures high visibility and timeless aesthetic value.
Dial texture plays a central role. The sandblasted surface adds nuance and dimension to each color variant. Super-LumiNova treatment on the hands and hour markers guarantees nighttime readability without disrupting the dial’s refined layout.
This timepiece is not merely for show—it boasts a water resistance of 5 ATM, making it resilient enough for daily wear while maintaining its luxurious appeal.
Each variant is offered with leather straps or a Milanese mesh bracelet. The leather options include soft grey, classic black, and textured beige nubuck. All straps feature a folding clasp, ensuring comfort and security in daily wear.
Every Chapter 8 Moonphase is assembled by hand in the BA111OD workshop in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. This intimate scale of production allows for closer attention to detail and quality assurance. Leading the process is the family duo Regi and Rebecca—father and daughter—bridging generations of passion and precision.
The watch is a reflection of BA111OD’s philosophy: that high-quality Swiss watchmaking should be accessible, personal, and transparent. The brand calls this “fair luxury”—where value is derived from craftsmanship and authenticity, not inflated brand positioning.

All three are offered under a special launch price of €1,255, down from the original €1,395—giving enthusiasts a €140 savings for early adoption—a compelling offer for a Swiss-made moonphase with hand-assembly and refined materials.
