UNE FOLLE JOURNÉE DUNE ROSE GOLD

Stunning in its arrangement and execution, the Trilobe Une Folle Journée Dune Rose Gold features a spectacular three dimensional dial aspect and an aesthetically pleasing palette of salmon and anthracite tones. Powered by a complex proprietary mechanism, and housed in an 18ct rose gold case, this stunning model is an excellent example of contemporary independent watchmaking and avant-garde styling.

Having launched their first timepiece in 2018, Trilobe have developed a small but evolving portfolio of watches each defined by uniqueness and sophistication. The brainchild of founder Frenchman Gautier Massonneau, every Trilobe timepiece combines a quintessential French flair for design, with sophisticated Swiss micro-mechanics. Boasting assertive design throughout, Une Folle Journée Dune is a superb addition to the Trilobe collection which demonstrates their creativity and panache for unconventional dial arrangements.

The Tribe Une Folle Journée Dune Rose Gold watch is housed within a 40.5mm case of 18ct rose gold, enhanced with polished and brushed finishing techniques. Marking a first in the history of this youthful watchmaking company, the dial has an open worked architecture and in order to accommodate its three dimensional layout, the case is topped with a beautifully executed, pronounced domed sapphire crystal which on its own, rises up to a height of 10.8mm.

The dial side panorama of Trilobe’s Une Folle Journée Dune Rose Gold watch is extraordinary. Laid out beneath the showcase sapphire dome and rising up to meet it, a trio of rotating rings mark the passage of time. Offering up an illusion, they appear to float whimsically upon a complicated labyrinth of mechanical components. Supported on nine tiny pillars the rings are crafted to conform to the curve of the sapphire, and as they rotate using the fixed reference, they enable an intuitive reading of the passage of time which is instantly mesmeric. The hours, the larger of the three is positioned at the outer dial, followed by the minutes and seconds each concentrically placed. Rendered in an anthracite tone, the indication rings on the Trilobe Une Folle Journée Dune Rose Gold watch are crafted from ultra-light titanium thus ensuring smoothness as they turn upon their sophisticated mechanisms. Beneath them, the warm salmon-toned base plate has been decorated with a grained finish, complementing the luxurious casing and creating a dramatic effect as it interacts with the polished elements of the rings.

To complement the glimpse of the mechanisms on the dial side, a full disclosure of the proprietary Calibre X-Centric self-winding movement is appreciable through the rear sapphire crystal. Meticulously finished throughout, in-keeping with the design language of the watch, the calibre carries a contemporary aesthetic, with high-contrast polished edges and a grained decoration. Powered by a micro-rotor, the calibre has a power reserve of 48 hours, running at 28’800 vib/h.

A remarkable watch from every aspect, the Une Folle Journée Dune Rose Gold watch by Trilobe is presented on a brown strap of sustainable leather, secured to the wrist with a pin buckle.
