Trilobe's 4th year anniversary
December 18, 2022
A look back over the key steps
These four founding years were extremely rich for Trilobe, which never ceased to renew itself while preserving its singularity and staying the course.
In 2021, Trilobe had the honour of joining the Watches & Wonders exhibition, alongside the most prestigious Houses, and thus to establish its reputation among industry professionals and watchmaking enthusiasts. Since then, the brand has been present around the world, and soon in more than 20 countries.
Finally, the French brand has continued to strengthen its affinity with the world of the arts and in particular contemporary art, notably through its participation in the Only Watch and Time For Art auctions. One example of this is its unique collaboration with Daniel Buren, one of the most internationally renowned French artists, for the 2021 edition of the Only Watch charity auction.
“Impose your luck, embrace your happiness and go towards your risks: by looking at you, they’ll get used to it.”
It is in this spirit that the House has been marking out a path of hope and audacity since its inception. And this is also how the year 2022 caps off, with two prizes as rewards. First, the Watch of the Year prize, organised by My Watch, awarded to its Une Folle Journée watch. Second, the «Petite Aiguille» prize awarded to the Nuit Fantastique Dune watch by the jury of the highly prestigious Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix (GPHG). But the road is long and Trilobe still has many surprises in store!
Une Folle Journée awarded Watch of the Year 2022

Our watch Une Folle Journée was awarded Watch of the Year 2022
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!

Watch of the Year is an event between watchmaking enthusiasts, which promotes elegance, innovation and know-how in watchmaking. In the spirit of MyWatch, Trilobe is committed to a contemporary change allowing watchmaking to open up to new perspectives. It is a new door that opens…
Nuit Fantastique Green
6 June 2022 / Launch
Trilobe dresses in green
This new version of Nuit Fantastique Grained Green is a tribute to Trilobe’s audacity. Combining French creativity and Swiss watchmaking excellence, this creation is designed for those who dare and are not afraid to step aside. Whether it’s almond, emerald, Irish or Peter Pan, green is a color that will never end to stir up controversy… and dazzle!
Trilobe chose to adorn its fantastic night dial with a striking imperial green shade. Crafted in titanium grade 5 or 18-carat rose gold, our case has been specially designed to house the X-Centric movement. This grained green edition embodies with modernity and elegance a daring yet timeless luxury, for an offbeat watch creation.

Trilobe by Daniel Buren for Only Watch 2021
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 extending 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.

Press Review – The New York Times

Trilobe x The New York Times
“Look, Fans! No Hands!”
In her article, Ming Liu salutes innovative designers who are reinventing the way time is read. Among these designers, the author cites Trilobe, explaining that “abandoning hands altogether is becoming increasingly popular, giving watchmaking and the art of telling time a new – and cerebral – look.”
Trilobe was born from a desire to differentiate itself: the proposal of a unique and excellent watch that does not exceed 10,000 euros. Founded in 2019, the House chose the name Trilobe in reference to a timeless and universal architectural motif, and made it its emblem by using it as a time indicator on its watches.
After the Les Matinaux collection, Trilobe presented a new model in early April: Nuit Fantastique. The latter retains the hour ring but the minutes appear in an aperture, and the seconds wheel alternates between a centre in clous de Paris and an azure ring.
Trilobe’s vision of luxury is that of taking time, freeing it and giving it value by reversing the reference point for reading the time. The hands are fixed and it is time that becomes mobile.
In this New York Times article, Ming Liu salutes the audacity of this new watchmaking trend of which Trilobe is a part, alongside Ressence, Eone, Bulgari, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Rado.
Nuit Fantastique Collection

"Nuit Fantastique" Collection
Trilobe unveils new collection
Trilobe, an urgent invitation to take your time! But what for?
For a Fantastic Night!
To take possession of life passionately!
To quiver with refinement, to live and to open up to one’s destiny!
To discover the world around us with new perspectives, Let time surprise us, live every minute without wanting to master them!
Nuit Fantastique was created An evening of lockdown, in an environment full of shackles, rules and prohibitions. Trilobe’s new creative passion, timeless and mysterious, invites you to escape, to free time and space.
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! This unconventional architecture shakes up what we know, disturbs our way of conceiving forms and their functions. It is a new movement that advocates the go beyond the traditional patterns.
The design of this creation favours minimalism and plays with perceptions.
The elegant, grained dial is a real technical challenge, underlying the watch elegance.
It defies symmetrical shapes and is made up of four parts, three of which are in permanent rotation. Raw and uncluttered, this 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.
The intertwining of the minutes and seconds gives a glimpse of the infinite and the time that goes on endlessly, within a satin-finished and polished in-dial bezel. A new touch of universality and timelessness that is part of this time set in motion, always counterclockwise, an X-Centric conception of watchmaking dear to Trilobe.
Nuit Fantastique is available in silver, black, night blue and «Secret». With a sober and elegant 7 pieces steel case and a resistant sapphire crystal, this creation unveils a new interpretation of the passage of time by Trilobe, while remaining faithful to the X-Centric movement that is the signature of our House.
