Back in blue

Ever since Projekt 01 was introduced, our friends and customers have been clamoring us to do something in blue. And while we’re always open to ideas and suggestions, we’re also quite stubborn. From black with fluorescent accents to a cement-like grey and finally violet, we’d like to think that we’ve been experimental with Projekt 01, as we truly believe the core design can be interpreted in vastly different ways. But we also understand that you don’t have to always be edgy to stand out. And so, Projekt 01 Variant G explores a more restrained play of tones, amplified by contrasts, volumes and textures to honor a color that is as sartorial as it is horological. And like every kollokium to date (though we promise this won’t always be the case), you can expect a lot of Super-LumiNova.

NEW CHROMATICS, SAME DILEMMA

It seems like it wasn’t that long ago that we launched the Variant E with two different hand sets, but here we are. Once again, the kollokium trio just couldn’t make up their minds as to which hands they felt worked best with Variant G and its contrasts in blue. Would it be the original kollokium configuration with a contrasting seconds hand, in white, with hour and minute hands that blend in with the dial? Or perhaps something more legible, with lume-less hour and minute hands in metallic blue PVD with bright white edges and a more subdued blue seconds hand? Ultimately, we decided to do both and let our customers decide.
