Reading Time Differently
The trilobe watch reverses the display, putting the motion of time at its center and fixing its indicators. Time is given by the combination of three fixed Trilobes pointing to moving rings. Each time's component (Hours, Minutes and Seconds) has a separate display (Trilobe indicator and ring), enabling it to move independently and without the superposition of one over another. Presentation of each component is enhanced by the sizing of the three rings, from largest for hours to smallest for seconds. Each ring moves in a counterclockwise direction.
The X-Centric module took over 3 years of research and development. It is structured around four pillars with no visible screws and is comprised of 103 tailor-made parts. 100% Swiss Made.
