Watch Chapitre 8 Baillod Family Legacy Special Edition - Silver

The Watch

Building on the Chapitre 8 unveiled last August, Baillod introduces the "Baillod Family Legacy Special Editions" - two timepieces conceived as a tribute to the Baillod family's centuries-long watchmaking legacy in the canton of Neuchâtel. The watch itself is a marvel of modern design and heritage, crafted in 316L stainless steel with a classic round case that exudes understated elegance. At 41 mm in diameter, it sits gracefully on the modern man's wrist. The case, finished with a satin polish, radiates quiet refinement while concealing a visual secret through its transparent screw-down case back - a design choice that both showcases the beautiful movement and protects the Swiss automatic from external elements.

The Dial

The dial of this watch is a masterpiece of fine craftsmanship, featuring a guilloché finish and a sunray effect, enriched by a sophisticated gray tone that subtly catches the light. Every detail is meticulously considered - from the classic Roman numerals that offer simple and elegant readability, to the delicate blue hands that contrast beautifully against the silver background. The small seconds, elegantly placed on a subdial at 6 o'clock, add precision and extra charm to the overall composition. The minute track encircling the dial enhances its harmony and timeless identity. Completing the ensemble, a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects these refined details while ensuring flawless visibility under any lighting condition.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats the Swiss automatic Soprod C110 movement, celebrated for its precision and reliability. This caliber runs at 28,800 vph (4 Hz) with a generous 42-hour power reserve, giving you the comfort of uninterrupted timekeeping without daily winding. Housed in a prestigious case, it can be admired through the transparent case back - a treat for enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.

The Bracelet

The strap of this timepiece immediately draws attention with its classic style and refinement. Crafted from bovine leather with a crocodile-pattern finish, it adds a luxurious touch that perfectly complements the watch's elegant character. The black color offers exceptional versatility, pairing effortlessly with formal and casual looks alike. Its 20 mm lug width ensures a secure and comfortable fit. Fitted with a double deployment clasp, the strap provides perfect security and adjustment while remaining easy to fasten and remove.

Water Resistance

Water resistance on this timepiece is rated at 5 ATM, equivalent to 50 meters of water pressure. Primarily designed for everyday wear and humid environments, it also handles light water activities such as surface swimming.
