Welcome Trilobe, a young new Paris-based independent watchmaking brand which started since 2018. We know the team thanks to the referral of a French journalist, and we are pleased to work with them from their beginning.

Meet Mr. Gautier Massonneau, Founder and creative director of Trilobe and Ms. Volcy Bloch, CEO of Trilobe. Gautier wanted to purchased a watch years ago, unfortunately he’s not able to find an ideal one. But an idea has been planted: why not do-it-yourself? His creativity is fully supported by his mathematics background and design DNA.

Not surprise to find French flair and architectural elements from Trilobe design. We are pleased to have Trilobe team here to explain the passion and inspiration directly to the press and guests.

Trilobe Nuit Fantastique Dune has won the prize "Petite Aiguille" at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie in Geneva 2022. Proud of the team.

Trilobe has unveiled Nuit Fantastique Brume during Geneva Watch Days 2023. The guilloche edition, for the first time, bears the words “Paris – France“, a symbol of the development of our Maison, which recently inaugurated its own watchmaking workshop in Paris. Each piece is entirely assembled and cased-up by a watchmaker

On Nuit Fantastique Brume, the fixed part of the dial and the hour ring feature an ambiguous shade between gray and brown that oscillates with light. Just like ”mist”, the English translation of the name of this model, the classic hue evokes infinite timelessness.

As a tribute to Nuit Fantastique Dune, Une Folle Journée Dune emphasizes and sublimates the rings of time by a contrast of colours and materials, the bridges don their summer dress with a colour reminiscent of dune sand. The rings of the hours, minutes and seconds are tiered and fly at a 10.2mm height, a true watchmaking prowess. Projected in space and balanced by 9 pillars, Trilobe’s rings are each the result of a complex assembly.

These three discs of Une Folle Journée Dune are highlighted by the singular colour of the bridges, for a creation both raw and delicate. The surface treatment of the bridges reveals the presence of the X-Centric calibre and creates the illusion of sand settled on the face of the movement. The subtle tint of the bridges awakens under the light of the polished edges, like grains of sand in a desert lit by a radiant sun.

One year after the launch of its collection Une Folle Journée, Trilobe takes its first step on the High Jewellery scene with a luminous and innovating piece, inspired by the ceiling of the Paris Opera house. A real technical challenge that would have been impossible to undertake without a complete architectural overhaul of the piece.

The know-how of the gem-setter is combined with the expertise of a renowned diamond trader from Place Vendôme, RJC certified, to bring Une Folle Journée Diamant to life. Carefully selected according to high quality and traceability standards, the 150 stones are meticulously diamond-cut to measure to fit perfectly the curves of Trilobe’s three iconic rings.

One of the advantages of independent is the flexibility. Guests are feel free to discuss the design and Gautier welcomes the challenges.

Minimalism and Infinite, Raw and uncluttered, the unstructured dial opens three distinct windows: the largest ring for the hours; the minutes wheel that appears within an aperture and the seconds wheel, which alternates between a "Clous de Paris" centre and an azured ring.

Because you recognize a beautiful day from the morning, and, above all, a tribute to René Char’s poetry collection: a book that takes an opposite view of the world we live in. A poetry that combines refinement and simplicity. An invitation to be bold. Les Matinaux is available in both 38.5mm and 40.5mm case.

Projected in space and balanced by 9 pillars, Trilobe’s rings are each the result of a complex assembly. Une Folle Journée is available in black and blue and comes in a titanium grade 5 case, built with brought lugs around a case middle alternating polished and satin finish.

“Secret” Edition is an invitation to immortalise a precious moment in a poetic way. Each dial is personalised and made bespoke: a map of the sky with the stars from the day, time and place that are dear to you, thus, making each watch a unique piece. A subtle way to free time, from a happy or promising moment, and to freeze it for eternity.

At nightfall, after being activated by a UV light, the drawn stars come to life and light in order to illuminate the chosen moment, thus suspending the passage of time. The constellations are engraved on the watch. Each star is then filled one by one with superluminova.

Contemporary and classic, Nuit Fantastique is a plunge into the deconstructivism called New Modern Architecture. An architecture that invites to rethink freely: new geometries, atypical forms, movement and dynamism. For fans of 1930s vintage chic, this Dune edition is the rebirth of a fiery, flamboyant hue whose refinement has already proven itself.

Emphasizing and sublimating the infinity symbol through a colour contrast, the dune grained dial awakens under the light of the polished and satin-finished angles, like grains of sand in a desert lit by a radiant sun. The treatment of the stamped and grained dial unfolds the dune color of this edition, thus creating the illusion of sand settled on the dial.

Trilobe’s watches are equipped with the X-Centric calibre. Trilobe has entrusted its manufacture and partner of La Chaux-de-Fonds, le Cercle des Horlogers, with the task of architecturing its automatic movement with a micro-rotor. Its mission: combine the technical challenge with an ‘‘artistically offbeat’’ approach, while perpetuating Swiss watchmaking excellence.

The calibre was designed from amazing architectural perspectives that will take you back to the genesis of Trilobe adventure. Guests can understand the movement structure through the decomposed Nuit Fantastique Dune.
