ENTER A NEW DIMENSION
Une Folle Journée gives the Trilobe concept its full dimension. The three moving rings, the Maison's signature, leave the plane of the dial to rise and unfold in space. Off-centered, rotating and floating, they reveal time in three dimensions: the largest ring indicates the hours, the middle one the minutes, and the smallest the seconds.
A true watchmaking feat
The three rings for the hours, minutes and seconds are tiered and rise to a height of 10.2 mm. The hours and minutes are held in balance by nine titanium columns connected to the movement, while the small seconds appears to float, supported by a central tenon and an invisible inner sapphire crystal. Each ring, made up of a hollowed-out cornice and a concave band, is the result of a complex assembly. A watchmaking feat that embodies the art of the dial at Trilobe.
A FEAT OF ENGINEERING
The openwork dial allows you to appreciate the full watchmaking expertise of the X-Nihilo calibre, without losing sight of the uniqueness of the moving rings. Completely redesigned, the calibre brings this three-dimensional architecture to life.
The redesigned X-Nihilo movement is built around multi-level bridges and plates. Their sharp edges have been patiently polished and diamond-cut to highlight the micro-blasting work carried out on their flat surfaces.
maintaining balance
Brass gives way to an alloy of titanium, aluminium, and vanadium. Its exceptional lightness allows the three off-centre rings to be suspended in mid-air.
MAINTAINING PERFORMANCE
This change of material is essential to preserving the movement’s performance and reliability, while ensuring a consistent 48-hour power reserve.
OFFERING EXCEPTIONAL FINISHES
But this lightness comes at a price: the alloy is extremely challenging to machine. It can ignite during machining and is particularly difficult to polish, especially at such a small scale. Once mastered, however, it makes it possible to achieve an exceptional level of finishing.
Manufacture moement
Its bold architecture is built around a central island that opens up the space and sets the balance wheel apart, beautifully magnified. With a 42-hour power reserve, it combines technical excellence with a distinctive aesthetic.
A SAPPHIRE DOME BUILT TO STAND THE TEST OF TIME
Manufactured in Japan using a traditional flame-fusion process, then softened and polished in Switzerland, the sapphire dome combines exceptional transparency and strength.
