Discover the Refreshing 'Cooler Waters' Edition: A New Wave in Kollokium Projekt 02's Innovative Timepiece Collection

Kollokium, a brilliant project-based watchmaking platform established in 2020, pushes the boundaries of horology by refusing to conform to the systematic norms of traditional watchmaking brands. With no set artistic direction, Kollokium prides itself in crafting watches that are unique, cutting edge, and unconstrained by historical backstory. Their latest offering, the ‘Cooler Waters’ edition, unveils the third evolution of the topographical dial design in their acclaimed Projekt 02 series, just in time to make a splash this summer. This cool new timepiece indulges its audience in vibrant azure waves, reminiscent of tranquil seascapes. The dial of the ‘Cooler Waters’, like its predecessors in the series, comprises 67 individually hand-painted plates arranged to create nine unique layers. This intricate construction technique results in a stunning bird’s-eye-view impression of the sea, complete with white-crested waves. Unique to this edition is a captivating turquoise gradient that ebbs and flows across the dial, distinguishing it as a standout piece in any light. Elevating the drama, each ridge’s metallic contours are outlined in black, while the dial’s highest points, which serve as indices, are accentuated in a crisp white tone. This topographical elevation is alluringly emphasized by a gradient of colours that range from lighter blues at the peaks to deeper hues at the lower levels. Cased in ultra-resilient monobloc steel with a compact 39mm diameter and a remarkably slim height of 5.9mm, the watch is water-resistant up to 50 metres. The timepiece showcases an automatic movement and a robust 68-hour power reserve, providing precision timing. The ‘Cooler Waters’ limited edition is a brilliant culmination of Kollokium’s commitment to unique artistry and innovative watchmaking. Scheduled for release on June 1, 2026, to subscribers and thereafter to the public, it is a notable addition for any watch enthusiast’s collection.
