hapter 3.4 Black Pepper was born out of a passionate discussion between loyal BA111OD customers and Thomas Baillod, founder of the brand, during a pepper fondue at the Baillod family farm in the Neuchâtel mountains.

Like the Chapter 3.3 in steel, this model, covered in black pvd, offers a more racy case design, with retracting lugs and a semi-skeletonized dial. It retains its signature crown with embossed logo at 4 o’clock. The steel baton markers are beveled and highlighted with Super-LumiNova, as are the openworked steel hands.

The dial, satin-finished in anthracite sunlight with a smoky gradation, opens to reveal at 1 o’clock the balance-spring, the vital organ of the watch, which regulates the march of time through its oscillations. The opening is extended to offer a view of the gear train of this automatic, semi-skeletonized movement, equipped with 26 jewels and a black color treatment. Finally, the brand has opted for the highest level of standard finishing, grade A, to ensure perfect finishes.
