The New Kollokium Projekt 02 FFF&F Edition, A Layered Take On Neubrutalism

Kollokium, the project-led collective founded in 2020 by Manuel Emch, Barth Nussbaumer and Amr Sindi (The Horophile), follows its debut series with a second, fundamentally different object. Projekt 02 pivots from the “pin dial” language of Projekt 01 to a sculptural, topographical dial built from stacked plates, housed in a slimmer monobloc case. The Friends, Family, Fools & Flippers launch is limited to 199 pieces.

Staying true to Kollokium’s neubrutalist approach, the case is made of die-cast 316L steel, chosen for its forms and textures that are impractical with traditional milling methods. It’s a single visible unit: no separate bezel or caseback, integrated triangular lugs, a valve-style crown, and the full project designation “K,P–n°02” in relief on the flank. Dimensions are compact: 39.5mm diameter; 5.90mm without crystal, 12.40mm with a tall box sapphire. Water-resistance is 50m.

Projekt 02 trades pixels for contours, and the panoramic sapphire crystal, rising from the dial’s base level, exposes the three-dimensional build. The dial is assembled from 67 individual plates spread across nine layers, stacked and pegged to create flowing, “map-like” relief. Plates are hand-painted: white lacquer infused with green-emitting Super-LumiNova in the recesses; sandblasted, warm-silver metal edges are left bare to catch the light. Twelve individual hour markers are embedded within the pattern. Hour and minute hands in warm silver carry luminous Lichtblock inserts; a fluorescent-orange central seconds hand adds a precise visual anchor with its bent-triangle counterweight.

The watch is powered by La Joux-Perret’s automatic G101, operating at 28,800 vibrations/hour with a 68-hour autonomy. In keeping with the platform’s focus on case and dial, the calibre remains unbranded and unexposed. The back of the watch bears a message that, when read, may cause seasickness; however, there is a proper warning.

The Projekt 02 is worn on a single-piece elastic textile strap in khaki. Sizing is tool-free via stitched loops. The hook buckle is die-cast steel, matching the case. The FFF&F edition is limited to 199 pieces, offered first to Projekt 01 F&F and then to existing Kollokium owners. Price is CHF 3’333.33 (excl. VAT). The first publicly available variant is scheduled for Q1 2026 at CHF 3,666.66 (excluding VAT).
