There is something special about when a watch naturally asserts itself with self-evident strength, whose source lies in perfect balance, with nothing to be added and nothing to be taken away. A minimalism that is both deliberate and necessary. There is however another crucial factor, namely the impossibility of classifying the watch as “looking like” another. This is the cornerstone on which the most daring brands are built. Remove the logo from an Urwerk, a De Bethune, a Breguet or a Ressence and you will still recognize them without the slightest hesitation. The same goes for Trilobe: the off-centered display of hours, minutes and seconds is unparalleled. This Nuit Fantastique “Dune” is no exception: unique, because it is pure Trilobe. To paraphrase a famous watchmaking slogan: there have never been any hands at Trilobe, and there never will be! Finally, this timepiece marks a milestone, that of maturity. It is perfectly balanced and mastered. The sand-colored frosted finish is imbued with the traditions of Haute Horlogerie and makes them its own. Available in two diameters (38.5mm and 40.5mm), it exudes the wisdom and restraint of a truly grown-up watch – which it definitely already is!
