Kollokium is deliberately difficult to categorise. Founded by Manuel Emch, designer Barth Nussbaumer and collector and consultant Amr Sindi, better known as The Horophile, the project approaches watches as exercises in industrial design rather than traditional watchmaking. Its debut Projekt 01 established that philosophy through a raw, die-cast steel case, an unusual glass-box sapphire crystal and, most memorably, a dial constructed from hundreds of individually applied pins. Variant G, introduced in 2025 as the sixth iteration of Projekt 01, retains that neo-Brutalist architecture but introduces a considerably lighter and more colourful character.

This is the Variant G1, distinguished by its PVD blue hour and minute hands with blue Super-LumiNova centres and contrasting white seconds hand. Beneath them, 468 individual steel pins in six different widths and heights are hand-applied to a luminous light blue dial base, then treated in deep navy blue PVD with their hollow tips filled with blue-emission luminous material. The result transforms the Projekt 01's familiar three-dimensional dial into something brighter and surprisingly legible without sacrificing its unconventional construction. Variant G was produced in a combined edition of 499 pieces across the G1 and alternative G2 handset configurations.
