Trilobe Nuit Fantastique NF05DG Salmon Dial Titanium
It’s not often a watchmaker makes their name in the industry by offering a watch with less than a collector might expect, but that is exactly what French watchmaker Trilobe have done. How are they offering less than a collector might expect, you ask? They create timepieces without hands. Indeed, their signature has been to create timepieces that use various other methods to display the time, just like with the Nuit Fantastique that we have here. Founded in 2016 and launching their first watch in 2018, Trilobe’s mission has been to revitalise watchmaking by offering interesting and unique watches that break from the norm, which is exactly what they have managed to do so far. Offered with a grained salmon dial, or “Dune” as Trilobe calls it, the Nuit Fantastique that we have here is a 40.5mm titanium timepiece that features an asymmetrical trefoil-shaped display that uses three concentric geared discs to display the seconds, hours and minutes. The seconds are in the fully-exposed aperture at 8 o’clock, the minutes within the semi-exposed aperture at 11 o’clock and the hours along the ring that traces along the dial’s edge and rotates, rather interestingly, counter-clockwise. With a gorgeously finished case to match its interesting display, the Nuit Fantastique emphasises the amount of effort Trilobe have put into their watches; something that makes them one to watch for the future for sure.
THE DIAL With Trilobe's signature asymmetrical rotating display, the Nuit Fantastique's grained salmon dial adds another beautiful dimension to what is already an interesting dial design.
THE CONSTRUCTION With its downturned lugs, carefully polished bevels, tastefully concaved bezel and satin-brushed midcase, the Nuit Fantastique is a wonderfully constructed timepiece that hits much harder than it should for its pricepoint.
