Batch 2 public release: 30.09.2026 - 15:00 CEST
Every end is a new beginning. After nearly three years since kollokium debuted with Projekt 01, the time has come to bid farewell to the design that immediately set this three-man apart from the rest. That’s not to say that Projekt 01 is ending, but rather, the end of its first chapter.
But before we turn the page on this singular and unmistakable design, kollokium is releasing one last iteration that culminates three years of tweaking the design and refining the execution. Reminiscent of the very first trio of Projekt 01 references with black dials, Projekt 01 Variant “H” features the more abstract dial design with the most and brightest lume ever on a dial.
A limited edition of 399 pieces, delivered with both a creamy-white strap and a black strap.
Projekt 01 Variant H will be shipped between September 18 and October 28 2026.

The Dial
It’s no surprise that after nearly three years since it entered the scene, Projekt 01 has become somewhat synonymous with lume. While this was never the objective, Projekt 01 has paved the way for luminescent pigments to be used much more creatively than as mere functional dial elements. 2025 saw the advent of Lichtblock™, kollokium’s proprietary luminescent ceramic-resin
hybrid material. This development allows lume to take on a much more prominent role and, given the sheer amount of luminescent pigments found across the hundreds of individually hand-applied cylindrical pins, a level of glow that’s frankly unheard of.
Typically, one gramme of Super-LumiNova powder can be used to create between 200 and 300 traditional dials with the usual 12 pad-printed hour markers. In Projekt 01 Variant H, 2 grammes of Super-LumiNova are required for each dial. That’s not to say that the dial will glow 500x brighter than a traditional dial, but the difference is hard to miss. Across the 488 pin elements in 6 different diameters and heights as well as the hour and minute hands with Lichtblock™ elements, there’s the equivalent amount of lume as nearly 500 traditional pad-printed dials with luminescent markers.
After the subtle but enticing violet glow of Variant “F” that introduced Lichtblock™ last year, Variants “H” use one of the brightest-glowing Swiss Super-LumiNova pigments, BGW9, glowing with a bright cyan blue tone for hours. As far as scotopic vision is concerned. blue light is much more easily perceptible to the human eye under low light conditions, making the BGW9 pigment an optimal choice.
The Case
There’s beauty in rawness and imperfection. And that’s precisely what we wanted to convey through Projekt-01, starting with the case.
Without trying hard to be outlandish for edginess’ sake, the case is literally crafted like no other watch out there. Forged from 316L stainless steel, the case is not made using typical milling and machining processes at all, though the process is in fact industrial and rather old-school: die casting steel. Why? Well, because they said it couldn’t be done. And because the desired result was one where the case would boast practically no finishing or embellishment, and instead feature a uniform, industrial heavy duty steel tool-like appearance with a specific texture that can only be produced when injecting molten steel into a cast form. It’s neither matte nor frosty, but somewhere in between. And as rough as it looks, it’s unexpectedly soft to the touch. Because of the die-casting process, the edges and angles are slightly rounded off, while the steel has a surface that is neither entirely matte nor sparkly.
It’s simply die-cast steel in all its industrial glory – and quite the antithesis to the neatly polished and delicately satin-brushed finishes you’d find in just about every other watch.
kollokium ≠ watchmaker
We’re not pretending to be something we’re not. Kollokium may be a lot of things (at least we like to think so), but a watchmaker isn’t one of them.
For Projekt-01, we’ve chosen to use Swiss movement manufacturer La Joux-Perret’s G101 automatic movement with a power reserve of 68 hours, so you can take it off on Friday and wear it again on Monday (though why anyone would want to remove it at all is beyond us, but hey). Since Kollokium had nothing to do with the movement, it was decided to leave it completely unbranded and unadorned. It’s not like you can see it anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
