This may be the most charming timepiece available today, and a massive breath of fresh air. Almost every new model these days looks like a middle-aged man driving to work, in traffic, with the light in his eyes completely extinguished. Many thanks to the three of you for giving us something that reawakens imagination.
This was really great episode! I loved the insights these guys were willing to share. I really hope they release the edition "C" of it as the two previous editions have already sold out... Or that we hear more of the next project!
@@JASONKENTJANA I mean, there’s a lot of less visually interesting watches selling for 10k+. Not to mention people willing to spend 30k, 50k, and more on an interesting watch for their collection. 3000 is little money for someone spending good money on a collectors watch. Besides, they never said it was a cheap watch, and I wouldn’t expect it after looking at that dial.
@@malaise92 I'm well aware with higher priced watches. The nominal price wouldn't be a problem on its own. The problem came when he said "affordable" and "without second thought". Do you buy a $1500 laptop with a second thought? most likely yes. But the laptop manufacturer never said "anyone can buy this without second thought" Even Seiko at much lower price point never say something like that.
@@JASONKENTJANA I just don’t see the point in looking that far into it… He’s privileged, watch collectors are privileged too. If 3000 is not a lot for them, what are we going to do about it? Do you think they’re trying to pull off some type of scam?
This was so fun to watch! Super nice design albeit a little thick for me. Small red flag though is when the designer is at the table and no one knows lug to lug measurement? As an engineer after designing a part myself, especially if it’s passion project, I remember those measurements.. sus? Maybe nothing. Love the loom on that thing
Try hand setting 400 unalike tiny pieces on a plate in a way that aligns with the technical drawing doesn‘t damage the ones you already set before. Then tell me when you‘re done.
Absolutely amazing . I love the dial and all the details . And the people involved in this project.. watch. . Waiting to see if is a variant C. Much expected.
Really love and appreciate this watch, I signed up for the notification on the project 1, but wasn’t in the position to buy one. I appreciate the goal of making an affordable watch, but what’s the point if they are unavailable? Amazing affordable watch, you can’t buy it 🤷♂️
Sodelovc mi je rekui da je tip iz SWG slovenc.. Je to res? Gledam že neki časa pa mi niti na pamet ni pršl.. Lovely video! Loved the banter in this. What a watch!
I truly lusted after this Kollokium drop, and I understand Lume was a very big feature that they wanted to nail down, but that lack of pop of color with the seconds hand ruins the overall design for me. I really hope they knock it out of the park with the Variant C. Great video though!
I often wondered if it is possible to create a futuristic mechanical watch, or if we will be for ever stuck with 50s/60s dive watches. Fortunately a future is possible, proven by Projekt 01 - Variant "B" - great watch guys!
i appreciate that they're trying something creative. while i do think this watch needs precision in the build, i also feel that they've obviously inflated the complexity. other brands do it as well but these people seem more amateur in their speaking and marketing skill that it shows up easily in the video. cool watch at the end of the day but would have appreciated the creators being more candid. 🙏

Wait is the bald dude the guy thay was on your show few years ago high out of his skull? If it is then he's not so high this time lol. Also great looking watch well done gentlemen
@SwissWatchGang I thought so lol. Great content as always brother, thank you for doing the watch world this favor, for showing us beautiful high end watches. Not just sitting there milking the name rolex for everything you can like 99% of watch channels out there. You truly are that 1% who is actually a watch connoisseur
@@reesebroekhoven3962 Thanks! Well, I am bored as well with seeing "Rolex" on my TH-cam homepage every sigle day in thousands of different contexts so I try to freshne things up. Not easy of course, because most brands have no SEO supporting them especially on TH-cam but the people who do watch, really love watches and are happy to discover something new like you say. And I also enjoy it more at the end.
Not only is not hard to make the structure of the dial, it would‘ve been easy to automate and manufacture from a single piece 70 years ago using electrical discharge machining for the pins. Any Watchmaker or Engineer worth their salt could have made this, long before Radium Lume was invented around 1910. even with all the pins as separate pieces, using the right jig and a press, a child could assemble the dial. Then again, the finish on the back of the dial is terrible, so who knows. Don‘t get me wrong, I like the look of it, it‘s just not that hard to manufacture.
@@SwissWatchGangincorrect, the indian place-value format is the one I wrote :) it goes as ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, lakhs, ten lakhs, etc.
"We wanted a raw cast stainless steel because no one is doing that" Translation: "We wanted a raw cast stainless steel because we don't know how to polish or brush stainless steel but we still want to charge people three thousand dollars"
Neat dial, that's literally all I find cool about this. But to act like that was impossible to machine until "nOw"...exaggeration. Not a single logical reason something like that couldn't have been made 50 years ago. A bit of fart sniffing going on.

Great design.
Greetings from France
That's extremely unique. Very refreshing to see something so new.
It is nice to see something new. Unfortunately it was sold out, before I could order one.
Imo you were saved. Stop giving these garbage micro brands your money and save up for something better.

Nearly impossible to make? I don’t buy that, good try.
well the dial 460+ parts seem quite an impossibility that was made possible through dedicated engineering

Awesome 👍 Did you get one for your Collection?
Intrigued. Congratulations and continued success to them
Awesome piece but made of unobtainium like most others
thinking about dial design, found this great idea/execution. bravo!
Wow beautiful. Had no idea this even existed or was in the works.
Wow that one looks fantastic in the night!
How was this made ? Cnc ? 3 d print ? Laser ????
this is so so fresh….different n very unique…. love it….❤
I had one on my wrist yesterday and it fit AMAZINGLY well. On video the dial is the star, in person it's the case.
Yea, well said. The fit is awesome.
Reminds of Ming with a twist.
Yea, a BIG twist :D
Designer looks exactly like I would imagine someone that designed this watch
haha yea
Beautiful
love how u always nring on unqiue brands instead of the same old 5 best rolex for this summer type of videos. please keep it up
Comments like this keep me going, more to come!
@@SwissWatchGang 😘😘😘much love from Canada Vancouver
I have a great idea for the context of the watches, Wow effect and new level. I'd like to discuss it with such icon as Manuel Emch.
Sehr schöne anzuschauen des Zifferblatt, tolle Idee. Ich hoffe es folgen noch mehr Projekte 👏👏👏👍
such a great and unique design - I‘m a fool that I didn‘t order one. hoping for series C now…
So smart! And beautiful! simply amazing ❤ shame is sold out
Glad you like it, more coming :)

Very impressive design.
How is it produced fiber optic wire ?
Wow… exceptional design. Really sad that everything sold out. Project A is the one I want.
Not my jam but beautiful nonetheless! I wish them all the success!
Accessible, yet not accessible. That’s too bad. Brilliantly designed.
Pretty cool watch 👍🏽👍🏽
I love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ulysse Nardin Freak X Carbonium if you’re talking about me (Marko).
Oh that is awesome 👌
wow nice watch, really unique. unfortunately sold out.
More to come don't worry.
Very nice.
I have to have one how much the fact the dial has no name sold me ..
I thought the pins would move up and down
Already sold out 😢

"basically a swiss made watch" 😂
$3000 usd isn't something you buy and not really think about like the guy said.
@@v3xx3r Depends on your collecting habits and watch collection. But also not a small amount of money I agree.
its only fun when its dark out
Yes but its sold out so.....
Very CooL
Wish it wasn’t sold out.
Allways a Treat to Look what You found out😊
Thanks!
It's $3,000USD "affordable" for watch collectors I can see that. But for regular people that's a lot.
It absolutely is, and since I show crazy expensive watches all the time, 3000 seemed affordable in the sense of the channel. Hope you understand.

More coming in the future.
I'm pretty sure that's Chili Claus

Wow 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
They are not even describing the working of the watch!?
It's a La Joux Perret movement which powers the hands, pretty simple watch mechanically.
2600 is NOT cheap!? Nope
So damn fun
Nice watch. Cool dial design. However it is utterly stupid to advertise something which is sold out. Why? Either produce and sell or don’t bother.
Well, it's their first watch. Their own money, they can't start with thousands...

Expensive...
NO
