Introduction
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 G2, which takes the same 468-pin construction and light blue luminous dial base but introduces a higher-contrast handset. The hour and minute hands are finished in white with dark blue luminous centres, while the seconds hand is treated in blue PVD. Against the deep navy blue PVD pins, whose hollow tips are filled with blue-emission luminous material, the white hands give G2 a noticeably sharper visual character than its G1 counterpart. Variant G was produced in a combined edition of 499 pieces across the G1 and G2 configurations.

THE DIAL
The light blue dial is constructed from 468 individually applied steel pins in six different widths and heights. Finished in contrasting navy blue PVD, their hollow tips are filled with blue-emission Super-LumiNova. The G2 configuration introduces white hour and minute hands with dark blue luminous centres and a blue PVD seconds hand, creating greater contrast against the dial and clearly distinguishing it from the alternative G1 execution.

THE CONSTRUCTION
The 40mm two-part steel case is produced using die casting, giving it the deliberately raw character central to Kollokium's neo-Brutalist aesthetic. A cylindrical sapphire glass box exposes the three-dimensional dial from multiple angles, while the distinctive lugs take inspiration from cruciform screwdriver heads. The solid steel case back is secured by screws, with water resistance rated to 50 metres.

Condition

Please note: The watch ticks at time of cataloging, but timekeeping is poor and a service is recommended.
Our Perspective
Projekt 01 has always been more interesting as an exercise in manufacturing and industrial design than as a conventional watch, and Variant G1 pushes that idea in an unexpected direction. The lighter palette makes its extraordinary 468-pin dial architecture easier to appreciate while retaining the raw die-cast case and deliberately unconventional construction that define Kollokium.
