Kollokium - Projekt 01 Variant G
Back in blue—kollokium is launching Projekt 01 Variant “G” to mark two years since the model’s debut. This sixth iteration stays true to the brand’s neubrutalist spirit, now in grown-up blue hues, and comes as a limited run of just 499 pieces total.
Out of science fiction dreamscapes and into the real world, Projekt 01 Variant G brings a new, softer palette in shades of blue that gives the highly graphical and three-dimensional design a new edge. And like every kollokium to date, you can expect a lot of Super-LumiNova.
Regardless of the version, Projket 01 Variant "G" is all subtle intrigue that amplifies as you get closer to the watch. The dial, in a matte powdery cornflower blue hue, is infused with blue emission Super-LumiNova. It is set by hand with 468 steel pins in six varying widths and heights, with the hollowed tips hand-filled with the same luminescent blue pigments as the dial, as if raised from the flat surface by the pins.
The pins are given a deep navy blue PVD treatment with a matte yet metallic surface that provides just the right kind of sheen. Like all kollokium Projekts and subsequent variants to date, there's an unintentional savor-faire that goes into making each dial, as the processes of hand painting each element and applying them by hand requires many hours and serious skills.
The strap also plays a major role in making the Projekt-01 so effortless to wear. Inspired by outdoor gear, it's been developed by kollokium as the perfect finishing touch. With just the right amount of elasticity to keep it securely on the wrist without getting too tight and the kind of breathability that makes it quick to dry, It's a utilitarian's dream. It consists of a single strap with a hook fastening system and stitched loops to easily adjust the size on the go.
