LES MATINAUX L’HEURE EXQUISE DUNE 40.5 MM

Time, interpreted with restraint and poetry. The Les Matinaux L’Heure Exquise, Dune captures a fleeting moment, the quiet warmth of light drifting across sand, translated into a watch that speaks softly yet with conviction.

Crafted by Trilobe, the Dune edition introduces a refined sandy-beige dial whose subtle grain recalls natural landscapes shaped by time itself. The surface catches the light gently, creating depth without excess, calm without stillness.

True to Trilobe’s singular vision, time is displayed without hands. Hours glide along the outer ring, minutes orbit closer to the centre, and seconds float within the smallest disc. Each element moves independently, creating a continuous, almost meditative reading of time that feels intuitive rather than instructional.

The 40.5mm stainless steel case is slim, balanced, and quietly architectural. Alternating satin and polished finishes enhance its fluid profile, allowing the watch to sit comfortably under a cuff while retaining a strong visual presence on the wrist.

At its heart beats the automatic Calibre X-Centric, developed exclusively for Trilobe. Visible through the sapphire caseback, the movement reveals refined finishing and an off-centred micro-rotor that mirrors the dial’s asymmetrical harmony. With a 48-hour power reserve, it blends mechanical reliability with contemporary design thinking.

Delivered on a textured beige strap that complements the dial’s tone, the Les Matinaux L’Heure Exquise, Dune is a watch for those who appreciate understatement, originality, and a quieter form of horological expression.

This is not time measured in seconds alone, but time felt.
