Trilobe Unveils the Trente Deux Secret: A Personalized Timepiece
Trilobe has unveiled an exciting addition to its collection, the Trente Deux Secret, building upon the success of its groundbreaking integrated-bracelet model. This new iteration elevates personalization to an art form, allowing owners to imbue their timepiece with profound personal meaning. The watch’s central design element is a unique, made-to-measure star-dial, which features a radiant sunburst-lacquered finish. What truly sets it apart is the ability for clients to request a specific star chart—representing any chosen date, location, and moment in time—to be intricately pad-printed onto the dial.
The Trente Deux Secret retains the distinctive display of its predecessor, where raised, pad-printed numerals orbit the dial's periphery, aligning with the Trilobe emblem to mark the current hour. Minutes are elegantly indicated through a smaller aperture, guided by a subtle arrow, while seconds are showcased in rapid rotation within the largest inner window. The watch’s multi-layered dial is a visual masterpiece, incorporating both azuré and Clou de Paris guilloché on the seconds wheel, complemented by satin and mirror-polished finishes on the circular flange. The timepiece comes in two sophisticated case options: stainless steel, which can be paired with a matching integrated bracelet and an optional rubber strap, and an opulent 18k rose gold version, exclusively offered with a rubber strap. Both versions house Trilobe's inaugural in-house caliber, a self-winding movement boasting a 42-hour power reserve and operating at a frequency of 4 Hz.
This innovative approach to watchmaking, while offering a bespoke experience, positions the Trente Deux Secret as a compelling choice for discerning collectors. It stands out in a competitive luxury market by offering more than just a time-telling device; it offers a tangible connection to personal history and celestial beauty. This blend of mechanical artistry and emotional resonance not only captures the essence of luxury but also inspires a deeper appreciation for the moments that shape our lives, reminding us that true value lies in the stories we carry and the aspirations we chase.
