In a few weeks, the not-to-be missed watchmaking event will take place: Watches & Wonders, that Trilobe has the pleasure to attend for the 3rd time. This exceptional show will bring together the 50 main actors of the watch industry for a week full of wonders, from March 27 to April 2nd. The fair will take place in the most appropriate place to celebrate watchmaking: Geneva. The halls of Palexpo will host the festivities: launch of new products, watch presentations, conferences, exhibitions and meetings with the founders and designers of your favorite timepieces. For the 2023 edition, the Watches and Wonders Geneva Foundation is taking new resolutions! Watches & Wonders, previously restricted to the press, retailers and guests of the exhibiting Maisons, will now be open to the public for one weekend only, from April 1st to April 2nd. A limited number of tickets are already for sale on the website at this address.

As good news come in pairs, the day of March 30 will be followed by a skilfully orchestrated watchmaking rally in the evening.  In the City will be an opportunity to discover special creations, ornate pieces or rare watch complications in the boutiques of Rue du Rhône and Rue Basses.

Trilobe is delighted to be back with the independant Maisons of the Carré des Horlogers for this new edition of Watches & Wonders and is looking forward to presenting you its 2023 novelties. We are expecting you from March 27 to April 2 in Geneva!

On December 10 and 11, 2022, in New York, took place the first ever auction of watches to benefit contemporary art and its artists. 100% of the proceeds is donated to them, through the Swiss Institute.

This event highlights the close ties between the worlds of art and watchmaking, through the sale of pieces with unique and innovative designs that reveal the singular vision of their creator.

Trilobe for the occasion sold a limited edition at $16, 380 which was estimated at $6,000-12,000.

Nuit Fantastique Désert, a unique piece

Trilobe is supporting the Time For Art auction by redesigning its Nuit Fantastique collection with a «Desert» edition.

“Nuit Fantastique” is a proud representative of the House, of its creativity and audacity: classic in its purity, offbeat and contemporary, with a disruptive and novel reading of the time.

For this edition, the iconic grained dial has been given the color of desert sand, appreciated for its elegance and sophistication. Underlining and sublimating the symbol of infinity through a contrast of colors, the grained dial awakens under the light of polished and satin-finished angles, like grains of sand in a desert lit by a radiant sun.

Designed for a grade 5 titanium case, the Desert Edition of the Nuit Fantastique collection pays tribute to the purity of Trilobe’s design. It embodies with finesse and style a timeless and refined luxury, for an offbeat watch creation.

The complicity between Art and Trilobe 

From its conception, Trilobe has placed art at the heart of its DNA. Like a work of art, Trilobe aspires through its watches to make people feel emotions by telling stories in a new form based on even more innovative techniques.

Trilobe has been inspired by literature, René Char, Stefan Zweig or Beaumarchais, for their works that take an opposite view of the world we live in, in order to propose a new reading of time.

Architecture is also a great source of inspiration for Trilobe and is reflected in its designs. The name of the brand is borrowed from a universal and timeless architectural motif echoing the three pillars of time.

Thus, Trilobe has never ceased to strengthen its affinity with the world of the arts, and in particular with contemporary art. One example is its unique collaboration with Daniel Buren, one of the most recognized French artists on the international scene, for the 2021 edition of the Only Watch charity auction.

“Petite Aiguille” for a watch with no hands

After being nominated for three consecutive years for the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, our watch “Nuit Fantastique Dune” won on November 10, 2022. The jury rewarded Trilobe’s creative and daring spirit with the “Petite Aiguille” prize for a watch without hands, but with confidence. Offering an intuitive reading of the time, our “Nuit Fantastique” is a proud representative of our House: “Hands less but with a sprinkle of magic”. Classic in its refinement, offbeat and contemporary, with a disruptive and singular reading of the time. This prize is certainly an emblematic stage of maturity for Trilobe.

A look back at our first trilogy

We are proud to receive this award, at the dawn of our 4th year. On December 17, 2018, Gautier Massonneau launched, at the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Paris, the inaugural series “Les Matinaux”, after three years of research & development. By doing so, he turned the traditional world of Swiss watchmaking upside down with eccentrically designed automatic watches.

After Les Matinaux, the Nuit Fantastique and Une Folle Journée complete the French trilogy. With the same technical and aesthetic signature. Between minimalism and eccentric use of hours, minutes and seconds. Morning, Noon and Evenings, these three collections are also completed by a personalized edition, “Secret”, and based on the signature automatic movement, the X-Centric Trilobe calibre.

This Monday, November 7, in the Google offices, took place the ceremony of the Watch of the Year 2022, organized by My Watch and presented by Frank Declerck – alias Frank sans C. A warm event, gathering the big names of the industry to reward the watch novelties.

98 watches were first preselected, by a jury composed of French journalists specialized in watchmaking press, and then divided into ten categories according to their price. Among these watches, two of our models were chosen by the jury, Une Folle Journée Black edition and Nuit Fantastique Dune, and stood alongside emblematic models proposed by prestigious companies such as IWC, Audemars Piguet and Tag Heuer.

The preselected watches were then submitted to the votes of 45,000 Internet users. 36% of them chose to take a step aside and vote for our Une Folle Journée model as watch of the year in its category. We are honored to receive this award for this watch which perfectly embodies the offbeat, creative and audacious spirit of Trilobe and puts our purpose into perspective. We would like to thank all the voters who voted for the Trilobe spirit!

Trilobe is delighted to have taken part in the 5th edition of Dubai Watch Week, which gathered around 50 watch brands, from 24 to 28 November. The DWW was a great opportunity for the brand to raise its profile internationally among worldwide aficionados and actors of the industry who came to assist to this major event. On this occasion, Trilobe was also able to interact with its peers in a relaxed and open environment.

Founded by Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons in 2015, Dubai Watch Week, which takes place every two years, is the greatest non-commercial event in the watchmaking industry. The aim of the DWW is very clear : “We’re not here to sell, we’re here to educate and to promote watchmaking. Our goal is to create an unparalleled educational, experiential and networking event.” These are the words of Hind and Mohammed Seddiqi during their opening speech on November 24.

Thus, this event is a golden opportunity for the brands to present their novelties, whether they are destined for the local or global market, and to strengthen their image with a diverse audience.

In the purpose of enlightening participants, developing their knowledge and expanding their thinking on the watchmaking topic, the 2021 edition of Dubai Watch Week offered a rich and diverse program including discussion panels, masterclass and workshops.

The hosts of DWW also took the opportunity to pay a tribute to the United Arab Emirates’ 50th anniversary by presenting a special collection with exceptional pieces in limited edition.

High point of the watchmaking industry in 2021, Dubai Watch Week enabled the industry actors to gather altogether and celebrate the watchmaking expertise for a week, a long awaited moment after months of industry paralysis because of the pandemic.

After participating in the 100% digital edition of the Watches and Wonders Watch Show in 2021, Trilobe has the honour to take part in the 2022 edition, alongside the most prestigious watch brands. For this new edition, the show will take place in an hybrid format. After two years of being entirely online, the year 2022 marks the long-awaited return of Watches and Wonders in Geneva, for an immersive experience in the setting of Palexpo. 40 Houses will be reunited for the first time for 7 days, from 30 March to 5 April, and will vibrate to the rhythm of a thrilling watch-industry week. But visitors of the show will also be able to live the experience online, by accessing all contents on the digital platform watchesandwonders.com, live or in replay : Product presentations, new product launches, keynotes, panel discussions and conferences.

However, nothing can ever replace in-person experience, and Watches and Wonders 2022 promises to be a wonderful reunion to which Trilobe is delighted to attend.

Trilobe will have the pleasure of exhibiting in the Carré des Horlogers, alongside fifteen independent designers at the centre of the show. This highly awaited watchmaking summit, likely to be the key event of 2022, will be the right time for the brand to present its collections and latest developments to the watchmaking world. But Watches and Wonders is above all an incredible opportunity for Trilobe to raise awareness and set itself apart by immersing visitors of the show in its X-Centric world.

Whether in Geneva or elsewhere in the world, make a date for this leading watchmaking summit! Join us from 30 March to 5 April 2022, in-person or online.

The academy of the 21st Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix (GPHG) has given its verdict and Trilobe is very pleased to announce its preselection in the “Petite Aiguille”* category, for the third consecutive year.

“Petite Aiguille”* for a watch without hands, a happy coincidence or a bold move from the jury? This wink results undoubtedly from the magic of a watch liberating time, thus surprising us at first glance through an assumed step aside.

This year, the new Nuit Fantastique (Fantastic night) collection is the one that caught the attention of the GPHG Academy.The design of this creation plays on perceptions. The elegant black grained dial is a real technical challenge. It is made up of four parts, three of which are in permanent rotation : the ring for hours; the minutes wheel that appears within an aperture; the seconds wheel alternating between a centre in clous de Paris and an azured ring. The intertwining of the minutes and seconds gives a glimpse of the infinite and time that goes on endlessly, within a satin-finished and polished in-dial bezel.

Designed and developed in the singular spirit of the brand, the Nuit Fantastique watch is equipped with the X-Centric calibre, Trilobe’s signature automatic movement with micro-rotor. With a thickness of 5.78mm this movement combines finesse and performance.

Trilobe is very proud to support once again Only Watch in its 2021 edition. Since the first edition in 2005, Only Watch has come a long way in accelerating the knowledge of Duchenne muscular dystrophy that affect hundreds of thousands of people.

It is to honour this extraordinarily ambitious project that the Trilobe watchmaking House and the Sculptor Daniel Buren have decided to offer a unique and meaningful collaboration, a singular creation.

« La Réciproque » – Trilobe by Daniel Buren

The reciprocal is the action that subjects perform on each other: two reciprocal forces that materialise into a unique artistic creation. Daniel Buren and Trilobe have fun with this encounter: opposing forms and colours, disturbing the view, questioning the mind. Art and watchmaking oppose and meet each other, in reciprocal forces.

It is from this desire for reciprocity that the Trilobe by Daniel Buren project was born: to combine a young watchmaking House with one of the most recognised Artist on the international scene. Around a scarlet beating heart, designed as the scarlet beating heart of the work, imagine a duality between the technicality of the watchmaker and the unique proposal of the Artist in an immediate dialogue with the «X-Centricity» of Trilobe. It is, above all, the exhilarating prospect to realise a unique artwork to serve a great cause.

The Trilobe clock by Daniel Buren is a singular work of art in which the eccentric vision of the Artist cannot be understood without the technical expertise of the Watchmaker. It also remains faithful to the tradition of excellence in watchmaking and offers us the immutable and inimitable ticking of the great clocks.

Between patience and determination, the Trilobe project by Daniel Buren is a true reciprocal.

Trilobe get the incredible opportunity to participate in Watches and Wonders Geneva 2021. It is a great honour to exchange with the greatest houses that have forged the excellence of watchmaking know-how. This 100% digital trade show is placed under the aegis of union and openness, and for Trilobe, launched on December 17, 2018, this represents a very beautiful new adventure.

For ten days, watchmaking worldwide will be in the spotlight for this major event in the industry calendar, where the brands take the stage and reveal their latest products for 2021. It’s all set so that wherever in the world they are, whatever the platform, visitors could enjoy the Watches and Wonders experience ! The occasion for Trilobe to launch its brand new collection, Nuit Fantastique.
