Kollokium Project – No. 01 – Purple – Commission

The Kollokium Projekt 01 Variant "F" is a technically and visually striking model of a mechanical watch, built on a combination of an unconventional material approach and a high-quality Swiss movement. The case is made of two-piece molded stainless steel (316L) using the die-cast method, which uses metal casting into a mold instead of traditional machining. This creates a distinctive raw texture that gives the watch a unique industrial character. The case diameter is 40 mm, and the height, including the cylindrical sapphire crystal, is 11.9 mm. The watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM.

The centerpiece of the "F" model is a striking purple dial with a textured surface, set with 488 individual cylindrical indices made of Lichtblock™ – a resin and ceramic hybrid material filled with purple Super-LumiNova. These luminescent elements are not just coated with luminous paint; they are entirely made of lume material, which is absolutely unique in watches of this category. The result is intense purple luminescence that stands out especially in dim light and darkness. The hour and minute hands also contain Lichtblock™ elements, while the second hand is white for maximum contrast and legibility.

Inside the case, a Swiss automatic La Joux-Perret G101 movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and has a power reserve of approximately 68 hours. The movement has 24 jewels and a unidirectional rotor without branding. It is a modern and reliable caliber with a high power reserve, commonly used in mid-to-high-end mechanical watches.

The limited edition numbers a maximum of 399 pieces, with each dial being hand-assembled – index by index. The production of such a dial is extremely time-consuming, with any error in assembly meaning starting over. The "F" model is thus not only a technical showcase of innovation in luminescence but also a tribute to traditional watchmaking craftsmanship.
