Collaboration
Trilobe x Grail Watch
“With Une Folle Journée, Trilobe emerged as one of the most vibrant creators of horology as artistic expression.” Wei Koh
Trilobe has now the pleasure of collaborating with Grail Watch on a fully luminous version of this extravagant timepiece.
Introducing Une Folle Soirée (A Wild Night), our limited edition in collaboration with Grail Watch. This piece brings together the artistic expressiveness of Trilobe with the luminous signature of Wei Koh, founder of Revolution, Grail Watch and The Rake. This edition was limited to 25 numbered pieces.
A luminous signature
“My first impression when setting eyes on Une Folle Journée was of three UFOs in a coordinated flight pattern landing on the surface of a planet. And I knew immediately that I would love to see this featuring a maximum light show when the watch was in an ambient or dark setting.” Wei Koh
The edition Une Folle Soirée is thus characterized by its luminous signature, which distinguishes it from our collection “Une Folle Journée” (A Crazy Day). The numerals, the indicator and the edges of the bridges and plates are covered with a luminescent coating, for a futuristic effect.
In bright sunlight, the effect is sculptural, with different shades of blue shining harmoniously on the face of the watch. When the lights are low, the watch takes on a much more mysterious mood, full of smooth shadowy shapes and alien glowing elements.

"Step into darkness and the watch simply ignites on your wrist, giving another dimension to the thrilling artistic expressiveness of Trilobe."

A take-off under a sapphire dome
“Imagine the three primary time-telling disks first brought to life in Les Matinaux now powered by an alien force field, so that they levitate off the dial and are retained only by the canopy of domed sapphire crystal. Une Folle Journée takes the language of Trilobe and explodes it into the third dimension and beyond.” Wei Koh

Rings propelled into the air
“Why tell the time with hands when you can have discs? The Trilobe X-Centric Calibre tells the time with rotating rings and a fixed pointer.” Wei Koh
The three rings of the hours, minutes and seconds are tiered and fly at a 10.2mm height, a true watchmaking prowess. Projected in space and balanced by 9 pillars, Trilobe’s rings are each the result of a complex assembly.
They fly in the air carrying with them the scales of time: the largest ring for hours, the median one for minutes, the smallest one for seconds.
The open dial enables to savour the watchmaking craftsmanship of a Swiss Made calibre, without losing sight of the rotating rings’ singularity.
Wei Koh
Considered one of the greatest watch influencers of this century. It all began in 2005, when Wei Koh launched the watch magazine Revolution, which is now published in 17 countries and has become one of the most influential paper magazines in the world. In early 2022, he unveiled his new project around watchmaking, Grail Watch, through which he partners with independent watch brands to offer exclusive limited edition pieces to his community. Our piece Une Folle Soirée, launched in December 2022, is the third chapter of Grail Watch, and follows a collaboration with Ressence and Franck Muller.
