Automatic integrated movement X-Centric
Innovation and expertise at the service of the dial’s poetry
Trilobe breaks the absolute of watchmaking with its eccentric dynamics: a challenge towards the traditionally centred watchmaking kinematics. The automatic X-Centric calibre defies the codes of traditional watchmaking with a new time display.
Innovation, accuracy and Swiss know-how compendium, the X-Centric calibre extends the boundaries. A play with transparency reveals all the subtlety and finesse of the movement.
State-of-the-art rings
Each component of time holds a unique place: the largest ring for hours, the median one for minutes,
the smallest one for seconds. The three rings are eccentric and moving: each one follows its own path,
in a counter-clockwise direction, without ever overlapping.
In motion
Self-winding mechanical movement with micro-rotor.
230 parts in total, 100% Swiss-Made.
A tailor-made design, for an X-Centric dynamic.
Patented display. Technical breakthrough for component sets and energy management’s mastery.
Contemporary, sleek and refined finishes in line with the codes of prestige watchmaking
The iconic stature of this unique movement does not only reside in its technical complexity, but also in its handmade finishes involving an outstanding level of detail. Modern, sleek, and refined, these finishes, whether visible or hidden in the heart of the watch, make this calibre into a real artistic creation: micro-blasted and wedged bridges & plates, hand polished wedged ratchet and tints in Trilobe shades.

A game of heads or tails
Because a watch should be beautiful from both front and back, Trilobe plays with contrasts: X-Centric vision of watchmaking on the front side, concentric and symmetrical signature on the reverse side, based on a graphic and architectural centred perspective, one of the central pillars of Trilobe. Drawing its inspiration from the architecture’s aesthetic codes, the movement offers a visual contrast through a two-tone plate: a search for brightness on the front
side and an invitation into the storm gray depths on the reverse side.

1st research pillar: eccentricity
A system for adjusting the disc clearance through eccentrics.
The rings, which are particularly energy-consuming, slide on the plate.
The guarantee of a precise operating clearance.
2nd research pillar: the inertia of seconds
Optimized inertia to develop the widest possible disc for reading. A highly optimized power reserve system that allows such heavy display to move, by preserving a long power reserve in a thin watch movement. The guarantee of performance for the movement.
3rd research pillar: the serrated time wheel, as life itself
The most complex parts of the module: the hours and minutes rings are made through wire EDM (electrical discharge machining) in Durnico. 6 successive runs and 24h of machining are necessary for a perfect manufacturing. The guarantee of an ultimate accuracy.

Created in France,Crafted in Switzerland
After involving the Chronode manufacture (Jean- François Mojon) for the implementation of its X-Centric vision of watchmaking, Trilobe has entrusted its new manufacture and partner of La Chaux-de-Fonds with the task of re-architecturing its automatic movement with a micro-rotor. Its mission: combine the technical challenge with an ‘‘artistically offbeat’’ approach, while perpetuating Swiss watchmaking excellence. In that spirit, the calibre was designed from amazing architectural perspectives that will take you back to the genesis of Trilobe adventure. The craftsmen who manufacture Trilobe’s watches preserve the ancestral know-how of master watchmakers of La Chaux-de-Fonds, in order to create pieces that meet the highest quality standards. Their search for perfection and their manual intelligence express themselves in the hidden details of the movement.
