Each ring moves in a counterclockwise
direction.
Time is given by 3 rotating eccentric rings
carrying the scales of time (hours, minutes
and seconds).
Each component of time has its own display
(indicator and annular disc), allowing it to
follow its own path. Each component display is
resized: the largest ring for hours, the median
one for minutes, the smallest one for seconds.
The Trilobe watch reverses time display,
putting the motion of time at its centre and
fixing its indicators

THE POWER RESERVE
This function allows you to collect the necessary
energy for the proper functioning ofyour automatic
mechanical watch
The specificities of the micro-rotor
Your Trilobe watch is equipped with a micro-rotor movement. The
micro-rotor is a technical exception which is distinguished by its size,
shape and position: a small, thick half-disc, made of tungsten, integrated
into the height of the movement. The micro-rotor is a know-how and
innovation compendium. It allows for a self-winding movement without
altering its aesthetics and elegance. Indeed, this mecanism offers a
clear view on all the movement’s components. The use of a micro-
rotor also reduces the thickness of the movement, making Trilobe's
X-Centric calibre only 5.78 mm thick.
Wearing your watch
The micro-rotor accumulates energy through the movements of your
wrist, giving your watch a power reserve of at least 48 hours. The micro-
rotor requires a specific winding of the movement.
13

The efficiency of the mechanism is always a function of the activity of
the wrist, but the sensitivity of the micro-rotor is lower than the one of
an oscillating weight. For optimal charging time, allow 13 hours of wear.
Broad movements, a sitting position, or a loosen strap, reduce the
intensity of the movements thus causing the watch to lose a large part
of its winding capacity. It may therefore be necessary to regularly wind
your watch manually for an optimal autonomy.
Winding your watch
If you have not worn your watch for more than 24 hours or if your daily
wearing time is less than 13 hours, we recommend that you manually
wind your watch by 71 turns for an optimal power reserve. To wind your
watch, unscrew the crown by about ten turns (downwards) and then turn
it by 71 turns (upwards). In the case of a push-button crown (on 38.5 mm
cases), simply turn the crown upwards by 71 turns.

SETTING TIME POSITION - POSITION 2
As for a screw down crown, unscrew the
crown by rotating it downwards for about
10 turns. Then, pull the crown out to posi-
tion 2. Rotate the crown in either direction
to position the trilobes according to the
hours and minutes of the desired time.
For greater accuracy in setting time, wait
for the seconds ring to reach the targeted
number, typically “0”. When you reach the
desired time position, push the crown back.
Finally, screw the crown in position 1 by
pressing it while rotating it upward until
it is fully pressed against the case. As for
a push button crown, simply pull out the
crown to position 2. Then rotate the crown
in any direction to set the correct time.
When you're done, push the crown fully
against the case in position 1.
WEARING POSITION - POSITION 1
The crown must be in position 1 when the
watch is running. The crown, thus posi-
tioned, guarantees the water-resistance
of the watch. After each use of the crown,
make sure it is fully pushed or screwed
against the case.
This function allows your watch to be set to
the correct time by using the crown

STRAP, WANT
TO CHANGE?

1. Turn on the presto spring lug attachment by pulling it
towards the center of the strap to remove the first part of
the wristband
2. Insert one end of the bar of the new wristband
3. Put the wristband back on while activating the presto
spring lug attachment by pulling it to the left
4. Release the presto spring lug attachment
5. Repeat the previous steps for the other part of the wristband

MAINTENANCE:
IT'S YOUR MOVE!
Awatch is a delicate object that requires care.
In order to keep yourwatch looking its best,
we recommend that you groom it regularly.
GROOMING
A microfiber towel has been provided
with your watch and we recommend that
you gently clean the case with it so as not
to scratch it.

LEATHER WRISTBAND
The life span of a leather wristband de-
pends on the conditions and frequency
of use. To maintain it, we recommend that
you avoid contact with water, fatty or acid
substances, and cosmetic products. You
should also avoid excessive exposure to
sunlight, as UV rays can affect its coloring.
We do not recommend the use of leather
care products to clean or restore shine to
a wristband. In summer, a leather strap
is subject to more external aggressions.
Therefore, during this period you should
temporarily replace your leather strap by
a rubber strap adapted to the model of
your watch. The leather wristband must
be treated with special care in order to
preserve its shine and suppleness as
long as possible. To do so, gently rub the
leather strap with a soft cloth or microfiber
cloth before storing the watch in its box.
The wristband change is easily carried out
thanks to the integrated presto spring lug
attachment system.
COMPLETE OVERHAUL
The accuracy mechanism of Trilobe watches
is particularly sophisticated due to compli-
cations of high-end watchmaking, which
enable the brand’s characteristic way of
reading time. It is therefore recommended
to contact our Trilobe authorized service
center approximately every 3 years for
regular maintenance and every 5 to 7 years
for a complete overhaul.
