Trilobe
ActiveTrilobe is a Paris-based independent watch brand that replaces conventional hands with rotating rings and fixed indicators for hours, minutes and seconds.
Gautier Massonneau launched Trilobe on 17 December 2018 at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris after three years of development. Les Matinaux established the brand's handless display concept, using rotating rings instead of hands. Trilobe later expanded with Secret, Nuit Fantastique and Une Folle Journée, and won the 2022 GPHG Petite Aiguille prize for the Nuit Fantastique Dune Edition. The company has since developed its Parisian manufacture and the X-Nihilo automatic calibre.
