TRILOBE – A bespoke starry sky

With “Time. Liberated.” as its leitmotif, the brand with its architectural DNA and ring-shaped time indications is indeed moving very quickly. In the year of its launch, its founder Gautier Massonneau managed to convince the GPHG jury to select it in its “Petite Aiguille” category (reflecting affordable luxury), and the founder of Only Watch to include it in his iconic biennial auction. Prior to that, Massoneau had persuaded watchmaker-designer Jean-François Mojon to develop its exclusive caliber, patented for its display featuring three rotating rings sliding on ruby bearings. In addition to the eight different-colored versions of its first collection Les Matinaux, it is now offering this model as one-of-a-kind timepieces at a particularly affordable price. All one need do is reach for the stars with the sky of one’s choice in terms of time, place and date – such as to recall an unforgettable moment by immortalizing it in a symbolic, original, personalized and powerful way. The corresponding star-studded sky chart is thus accurately reproduced on the dial of your Trilobe watch by means of a process never before used in watchmaking, by 3D growth of Super-LumiNova in relief. Your watch becomes (almost) as unique as one of your nearest and dearest.
