Trilobe Trente-Deux in steel with sunray dial and integrated bracelet” />A Parisian Manifesto of Independence
Unveiled seven years after the founding of Trilobe, Trente-Deux marks a coming-of-age for the Parisian Maison and takes its name from the address of the design studio and workshop. Design, prototyping, machining, decoration and assembly all take place within the Trilobe Manufacture in Paris, anchoring the watch in French fine watchmaking.
The X-Nihilo Calibre
X-Nihilo is Trilobe’s first manufacture movement, fully conceived, developed and assembled in-house. The open architecture highlights an isolated, elevated balance wheel organised around a central island.
The self-winding calibre offers a 42-hour power reserve, runs at 4 Hz, and comprises 34 jewels and 218 components. Its 35.2 mm diameter and 7 mm thickness define the watch’s proportions. A decorated oscillating weight, rhodium-plated wheels, hand-grained bridges and mainplate, black-polished screws and concave, diamond-polished surrounds play with structure and light.
Architecture of Case, Dial and Bracelet
The Trente-Deux case is built from seven individually finished elements, forming three chamfered tiers with asymmetrical lateral fins and a bevelled mid-case. A fluted bezel with polished ridges and microblasted grooves echoes the Trilobe motif and matches a fluted crown operated as a push button.
Offered in 316L stainless steel or 18-carat rose gold, the case measures 39.5 mm in diameter, 10.15 mm in thickness and 46.18 mm lug-to-lug, with 5 bar water resistance. A sapphire crystal with multi-layer ARDUR treatment protects the dial, while an anti-reflective sapphire back reveals the movement.
The dial combines a matte sunburst surface with an azuré and Clou de Paris guilloché seconds wheel, framed by a circular flange with alternating satin and mirror-polished finishes. A patent protects the three rotating rings for hours, minutes and seconds, read via fixed pointers with pad-printed numerals.
On 316L steel executions, the integrated bracelet is satin-brushed and bevelled, with polished interlinks shaped in the spirit of the Trilobe motif and a double folding clasp with engraved logo.
Collection Variations in Steel and Rose Gold
For Watches & Wonders 2026, Trente-Deux appears in updated configurations. The steel line, initially offered with sunray blue and grey dials, now adds silver and green options, all on the integrated 316L bracelet.
These references—Sunray Blue 3201BS, Sunray Grey 3201GS, Sunray Silver 3201AS and Sunray Green 3201VS—share the same architecture and X-Nihilo movement, differing mainly in dial tone. Steel models are delivered on steel bracelets, with the rubber strap available as an accessory. Rose gold interpretations pair an 18-carat rose gold case with a rubber strap; Sunray Blue 3203BS, Sunray Green 3203VS and Sunray Grey 3203GS come on rubber with a rose gold double folding clasp.
The Secret Edition
The Secret edition turns the dial into a made-to-order celestial map, with constellations corresponding to a specific date, time and place chosen by the client. Each watch captures a personal memory or promise, expressed through a language of light and astronomy rather than visible text.
Available in both 18-carat rose gold on rubber and 316L steel, the Secret executions retain the same case architecture and X-Nihilo movement, keeping the starry sky as an “open secret”.
Why It Matters
For collectors in the GCC, Trente-Deux combines Parisian manufacture, a fully in-house movement and a patented display within a coherent, architectural design. The range spans steel on bracelet to rose gold on rubber and personalised Secret editions, addressing tastes that value technical legitimacy, visual refinement and narrative depth on the wrist.
