MEET THE BA111OD TEAM
Over 60 years of cumulated experience in the Swiss watch industry at your service!
Thomas BAILLOD
Founder & CEO
Born in La Chaux-de-Fonds, he is an expert and a veteran of the watch industry. After taking on responsibilities within a major independent watchmaking brand, he faced the global economic crisis in 2008, followed by the boom in e-commerce, which has lastingly destabilised the entire sector. From these rich and numerous experiences, he acquired the certainty that the major challenge for a company is to anticipate and accompany technological breakthroughs.
CHRISTELLE MORAND
Executive Office Manager
Christelle was born and raised in Neuchâtel. Her professional career began in the machine industry at the age of 15, and then at 19, she shifted her focus to the watchmaking industry, where she gained nearly 8 years of experience. Always eager to push her limits, Christelle pursued a degree in business economics through evening classes while working full-time for 4 years. With over 5 years of experience as an Office Manager in the finance and production sectors, she recently joined the company BA111OD to take on new challenges and leverage the skills acquired during her studies.
Liliane MURENZI

She then signed several models for big names in watchmaking through different Swiss watch design offices. These years of experience have allowed her to perfect her love of detail. When Thomas asked her to create a tourbillon for Chapter 4 in only 2 weeks, she accepted with great enthusiasm because she loves challenges.
