Trilobe’s Trente-Deux arrived as a sharp turn for the Parisian independent, bringing the brand’s wandering-disc time display into the integrated sports-watch arena.
Now the collection is broadening with new colours, rose-gold cases and personalised Secret editions, giving the watch a wider range of personalities without diluting its central idea.
The two standouts are a restrained stainless-steel model with a grey dial and integrated bracelet, and a warmer 18k rose-gold version with a green dial on rubber.

A sharper role for Trilobe’s sports watch
The Trente-Deux matters because it moves Trilobe beyond being a maker of poetic, unconventional dress-adjacent watches and into a category where case architecture, wearability and everyday resilience carry real weight.
At 39.5mm wide and 10.15mm thick, the case sits in a modern sweet spot, helped by a 46.18mm lug-to-lug measurement that keeps the design compact despite its sculptural construction.
The case is built from seven individually finished elements, with polished, satin-brushed and microblasted surfaces creating much of the watch’s visual tension.
The fluted bezel is a defining feature, pairing polished ridges with matte grooves rather than leaning on the flatter visual language common to many integrated-bracelet watches.
Subtle crown guards echo the form on the opposite side of the case, giving the profile a balanced, almost architectural rhythm.
Grey steel and green rose gold show two distinct moods
The stainless-steel Trente-Deux with grey dial is arguably the most versatile of the new additions, as its monochrome palette lets the finishing and layered dial construction do the work.
Its integrated bracelet uses brushed links with polished intermediate elements, keeping the watch firmly in the sporty-chic lane without making it feel anonymous.
The rose-gold model with green dial takes the same design in a richer direction, where the warmth of the precious-metal case plays against the deeper colour of the dial.
Instead of a gold bracelet, Trilobe pairs this version with a textured rubber strap and rose-gold folding clasp, a choice that makes the watch feel less formal and more contemporary.
The rubber strap also carries the brand’s floating duck motif on the reverse, a small detail that adds levity to an otherwise quite sophisticated object.
Beyond these two, the expanded line includes silver and green dials in steel, along with blue, silver and grey dials in rose gold.
The rotating-disc display remains the signature
Trilobe’s identity is still built around the absence of conventional hands, and the Trente-Deux keeps that idea intact.
Hours are shown on the outer rotating ring, while minutes and seconds sit within the brand’s familiar figure-eight layout at the centre.
The display works because it’s distinctive without becoming a novelty, offering a different way to read time while maintaining strong graphic order.
The dial finishing adds depth to the display, with a sunray-brushed central section, grained hour and minute discs, and a seconds disc decorated with azurage and Clous de Paris.
Calibre X-Nihilo gives the collection its independent weight
The Calibre X-Nihilo is the technical heart of the Trente-Deux and an important milestone for Trilobe, as it is the brand’s first in-house movement.
Designed, developed and assembled in Paris, the automatic calibre consists of 218 components, runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 42-hour power reserve.
Through the sapphire caseback, the movement presents an open architecture with an elevated balance wheel and an openworked rotor.
That layout leaves the brushed bridges, polished details and broader finishing visible, which suits a watch whose appeal depends as much on construction as on display concept.
Secret editions bring personal astronomy into the line
The new Trente-Deux range also includes made-to-order Secret editions in both steel and rose gold.
These models use a personalised celestial map showing the night sky for a date, time and location chosen by the owner.
It’s a fitting extension for Trilobe, a brand that has long treated timekeeping as something more lyrical than a simple reading of hours and minutes.

The expanded Trente-Deux line gives Trilobe more room to compete in a demanding segment, but its strength remains that it doesn’t try to disappear into the integrated-watch crowd.
For collectors drawn to independent watchmaking with a real visual signature, the grey steel model looks like the easy daily choice, while the green and rose-gold version shows how convincingly the design can dress up.
