The new BA111OD Chapter 7 Skeleton, designed entirely in-house by Head of Design Liliane Murenzi and assembled at the brand’s workshop in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, does not ask you to take its mechanics on faith. The skeletonized dial opens the architecture of the Soprod P024 automatic movement to full view, transforming what is typically background into foreground. The result is a 40mm Swiss Made timepiece where sculpted geometry, nuanced finishing and the living energy of an automatic movement occupy the same visual space simultaneously. What distinguishes the Chapter 7 Skeleton from the wider field of openworked watches at its price point is the quality of the conversation between case and movement. The anthracite PVD treatment unifies the integrated stainless steel bracelet and case into a single coherent form, while the finishing work on the dial, vertical brushing, polished bevels and sandblasted surfaces between the indexes, introduces a layered visual rhythm. Around the rubies, the openworked structure adds tension without noise, a balance that Murenzi describes as resolving the competing demands of geometric rigidity and organic mechanical expression. For collectors and enthusiasts exploring accessible Swiss Made watchmaking in 2026, the Chapter 7 Skeleton represents a direct statement of intent from BA111OD. Founder Thomas Baillod has consistently positioned the brand around the idea that mechanical emotion and strong design need not be mutually exclusive with accessibility, and this release makes that argument more compellingly than anything the brand has produced before.
