History

Kollokium is an independent watch brand co-founded by Amr Sindi, bringing a MENA perspective to the global independent watchmaking stage. The brand made its name through extraordinary dial craftsmanship — Projekt 02 features 67 hand-painted layers creating topographical, almost three-dimensional surfaces. This painstaking approach places Kollokium alongside the most ambitious dial makers in contemporary horology, proving that groundbreaking horological art can emerge from anywhere with sufficient vision.
