Chapter 8 Moonphase - Sand by MLB

Inspired by the understated elegance of mid-20th century watchmaking, Chapter 8 Moonphase brings timeless design into sharp modern focus. Clean lines, subtle textures and thoughtful proportions define this piece, refined but never nostalgic. In this sand execution, the collection reveals a warmer and softer expression, blending subtle character, balance and contemporary elegance.

The 41mm 316L stainless steel case features a concave bezel, rounded lugs and a double anti-reflective sapphire crystal that enhances the clarity of its sand-coloured sandblasted dial. Luminous hands ensure perfect readability, day or night. The ergonomic crown at 4 o’clock and transparent caseback reflect the balance between design and function. Inside beats the Swiss Made Soprod C105 automatic movement, offering hours, minutes, small seconds, a date display and a poetic moonphase complication.

Developed in the Jura region of Switzerland since 1966, Soprod calibres are trusted for their precision and durability. The movement is visible through the sapphire caseback, reflecting the mechanical beauty at the heart of the piece.

Every Chapter 8 is imagined, designed and hand-assembled in our Neuchâtel atelier, a few steps from the original sketch. It is a watch born from intention: to offer access to fine Swiss watchmaking without compromising on soul, substance or precision.
