Kollokium - Projekt 02
Projekt 02 is a holistic anomaly that once again demonstrates kollokium’s drive to pursue novel ways of interpreting the wristwatch, with a topographical dial composed of 67 stacked dial plates in a slim barrel-shaped die-cast steel case.
While kollokium’s designs are meant to evoke a sense of industrialism and rawness, behind the avant-garde object is a tremendous amount of manual, meticulous handwork that makes each dial topologically unique.
Projekt 02’s topographical dial is made in 9 layers, composed of 67 individual dial plates, which are individually hand-painted with a mix of lacquer and Super-Luminova, carefully avoiding the metal contours.
In Projekt 02, the case serves as a structural platform, upon which the topographical dial is built. With no distinct bezel (from the outside anyways), no caseback and no detachable lugs, it’s a single integrated unit that’s indivisible. The design is such that a slightly arched barrel-shaped central element appears to be held in place by four triangular lugs, as if welded together. No sharp angles, no straight lines. It’s all in the curves and tension. With a rounded bottom and downward lugs, the case sits very close to the wrist and wears surprisingly slim. With no visible logo or branding, the watch bears only one mark of its makers: the project’s full internal dossier or project name, K,P–n°02, in relief on the side of the case. On the opposite side, the signature kollokium triangular valve-shaped crown.
