This is a spectacular example of independent watchmaking. The Trilobe Nuit Fantastique is famous for its “X-Centric” display, and the Imperial Green grained dial is widely considered their best colorway.
I have consolidated the technical data, removed the overlapping specs, and organized it into a clean, luxury-focused layout.
Trilobe Nuit Fantastique
Grained “Imperial Green” Titanium
Reference: NF05VG | Movement: X-Centric Automatic Micro-Rotor
The Vision: Time in Motion
The Nuit Fantastique is the hallmark of Trilobe’s “X-Centric” vision of time. Abandoning traditional hands, this timepiece utilizes three rotating rings to display hours, minutes, and seconds. The “Grained Green” edition features a stunning textured dial that shifts from deep forest green to vibrant emerald depending on the light.
-
Hours: Displayed via the outermost rotating ring.
-
Minutes: Displayed within a dedicated sub-dial aperture.
-
Seconds: A central “Clous de Paris” (Parisian Hobnail) textured disc that rotates constantly.
-
Dial Texture: A unique grained finish that provides a matte, organic depth.

Seller’s Note
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of independent haute horlogerie. The 40.5mm titanium case wears incredibly light on the wrist, offering a sophisticated and minimalist alternative to mainstream luxury brands. It is a masterclass in depth, texture, and Swiss engineering.
