"X-Nihilo" Calibre Our first Manufacture movement
Conceived, designed, developed, prototyped, machined, decorated, and assembled entirely in-house, the X-Nihilo is Trilobe’s first Manufacture movement. It powers all the models in the Trente-Deux collection.
Its bold architecture revolves around an open island, creating space and spotlighting an isolated, magnified balance wheel. The X-Nihilo calibre offers a 42-hour power reserve, combining technical excellence with a distinctive aesthetic.
A play of textures and finishes
Every detail is designed to highlight the contrasts within the movement: fine or raw graining on the bridges and mainplate, black polishing on the screws for a subtle finish. Screws and rubies are highlighted with concave, diamond-polished surroundings. The bridges feature hand-made satin finishes, while the rhodium-plated gears display a circular graining that echoes their rotation. The oscillating weight combines sunburst decoration and graining, accentuating both its structure and its lightness. A true hallmark of the brand, these textures interact with the 5N gold treatment, whose warmth and patina will evolve over time.
The introduction of the oscillating weight
The openworked oscillating weight made of tungsten reveals the balance wheel, supported by a bridge inspired by traditional watchmaking. The tailor-made balance wheel features four chronometric regulation screws for precise adjustment, ensuring long-term stability and accuracy.
Resulting from a singular design approach, the oscillating weight is equipped with a system of safety pins that protect the movement from major shocks, preserving the integrity of both bridges and internal components.
A “Paris – France” engraving
Through the sapphire caseback, the movement appears to float in space: the mirror-polished inner case reflects the movement to create striking depth. The « Paris – France » engraving on the movement’s bridge uses a typography inspired by vintage Parisian street signs.
