Trilobe Une Folle Journée Dune Edition

One year after the launch of its model Une Folle Journée, Trilobe offers a new interpretation, “Dune”, of its collection. Yesterday, time was frozen under moving hands. With the Trilobe watch, time starts moving. Three rotating rings rush forward, carrying with them the scales of time: The largest ring for hours, the median one for minutes, the smallest one for seconds.

Rings propelled into the air

For this new edition, the three iconic levitating rings, in permanent rotation, don a stormy grey dress. The 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. These three discs are highlighted by the singular colour of the bridges, for a creation both raw and delicate.

A two-tone design

Emphasizing and sublimating the rings of time by a contrast of colours and materials, the bridges don their summer dress with a colour reminiscent of dune sand. The surface treatment of the bridges reveals the presence of the X-Centric calibre and creates the illusion of sand settled on the face of the movement.

The subtle tint of the bridges awakens under the light of the polished edges, like grains of sand in a desert lit by a radiant sun. For fans of 1930s vintage chic, this Dune edition is the rebirth of a fiery, flamboyant hue whose
elegance has already proven itself. Designed for a titanium grade 5 or 18-carat rose gold case, the Dune edition of the collection Une Folle Journée pays tribute to the purity and sophistication of Trilobe’s design. On the rose gold model, the shade of the bridges skilfully marries the delicacy of the rose gold for a refined creation.

The X-Centric calibre, automatic movement and hallmark of the brand

The dial, open for the first time, offers a view on a technical motor assembly with 196 custom-made components and enables to savour the watchmaking craftsmanship of an exceptional calibre. Une Folle Journée Dune is equipped with the X-Centric calibre, an automatic movement designed and developed exclusively by Trilobe. Integrated into the X-Centric calibre, the 6.49 mm thick micro-rotor movement combines finesse and technical performance.

Entirely revisited for the collection Une Folle Journée, the X-Centric calibre is taking shape around multi-tiered bridges and plates, whose sharp edges have been carefully polished by hand or with diamond tools to emphasize the microblasted treatment performed on their plane surfaces.
