Authentication guide

Last reviewed June 2026

Paris-based Trilobe displays time via three rotating discs rather than hands. The disc system is fully mechanical. Smooth, continuous disc rotation is the functional test. No replica exists.

Known reproduction risks

toggle
LOW

No known reproductions at this writing

  • The tri-lobe disc architecture is mechanically complex and brand-specific; no generic substitute exists

Provenance documentation from Trilobe Paris is the clearest verification path for high-value secondary market purchases.

Dial variants by era

toggle
EraDescriptionIdentifiers
Une Folle Journée productionThree rotating transparent or sapphire discs displaying hours, minutes, and seconds. 40mm, manual-wind.
  • Three distinct disc layers visible, each with its own scale
  • No conventional hands anywhere on the dial
  • Disc edges visible at the periphery of the display aperture

Service part flags

Disc display

Original: Sapphire or transparent material discs rotating continuously. Depth of the layered display is the visual signature.

Replacement tells
  • Any conventional hand present (the Trilobe system has none)
  • Stepping or jumping rotation rather than continuous smooth advance
  • Discs appear opaque rather than transparent

Case back markings

toggle
All production
  • Trilobe Paris markings on caseback
  • Serial number
  • Movement caliber designation

Movement tells

toggle
  • The custom movement drives three disc columns; the architecture is visible through the caseback.
  • Wind the movement and observe all three discs advancing simultaneously and continuously.
  • The seconds disc advances in real time; any stepping on the seconds indicates a problem.
  • Manual-wind only; no rotor is present.
