The History of Trilobe Watches


Trilobe Watches was founded in 2019 by Gautier Massonneau, who was inspired to create a new type of watch that would break with traditional designs. His goal was to create a timepiece that would be instantly recognizable and would stand out from the crowd.

To achieve this, Massonneau came up with the idea of using three distinct and separate dials to display the hours, minutes, and seconds. This design is the hallmark of Trilobe Watches and has quickly become a signature feature of the brand.

Trilobe Watches prides itself on using only the highest quality materials and craftsmanship in the production of their watches. Each timepiece is handcrafted in Switzerland, ensuring that it meets the brand's exacting standards for quality and accuracy.

Popular Trilobe Watch Models


Trilobe Watches currently has four main collections, each with its own unique style and personality. Let's take a closer look at each of these collections and some of the standout models within them.

Les Matinaux Collection


The Les Matinaux Collection is inspired by the early morning light and the tranquility that comes with it. These watches feature a unique dial design that mimics the sun rising over the horizon. The dials are available in a range of colors, including blue, gray, and green, and are paired with a leather strap that complements the dial color.
