// RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX: 3D topographical depth vs. flat dial repetition.
GRADIENT ALPHA
>> [ FIELD_REPORT: THE_NEUBRUTALIST_LANDSCAPE ]
The Projekt 02 represents a radical advancement in Topographical Horology. Developed as the Variant B limited edition (299 units), this unit utilizes a 9-layer gradient dial to simulate a 3D “Bio-sphere.” It is being extracted as a clinical record of Die-Cast Architecture, aiming to secure the specific “Grey-to-Black” gradient before the terminal production window closes.
| ▪MATERIAL: | Monobloc Die-Cast 316L Steel; a raw, matte industrial finish that emphasizes sculptural form over traditional polishing. |
| ▪CHASSIS: | Bezel-less Monoblock Wedge; featuring an integrated “Valve” crown and relief dossier-branding (K,P–n°02) on the flank. |
| ▪STANCE: | 39.5mm x 12.4mm (Total Height). The Box Sapphire Crystal accounts for ~50% of the height, flooding the 3D dial with lateral light. |
| ▪RESILIENCE: | 5 bar (50m) // Optimized for aesthetic “Terrarium” performance; features a solid, indivisible caseback. |
| ▪TOPOGRAPHY: | 67 Stacked Dial Plates; hand-painted in 9 shades of grey-to-black lacquer to create a hypsometric relief map. |
| ▪UI_LOGIC: | Twelve integrated hour markers; Safety Yellow seconds hand provides the high-contrast “Action Anchor” for the mono-gradient scene. |
| ▪CALIBRE: | La Joux-Perret G101; automatic workhorse chosen for its 68-hour autonomy and industrial-grade reliability. |
| ▪AUTONOMY: | 68-Hour Power Reserve // 28,800 BPH // Unbranded, unidirectional rotor remains concealed by the monobloc chassis. |
| ▪MISSION_GOAL: | Extract the Projekt 02 Variant B as the archive’s primary Topographical Anchor. This mission targets the first public “Gradient” run, utilizing a 9-layer relief landscape to establish a volumetric complexity that renders traditional subtractive dial manufacturing archaic. |
| ▪GRADIENT_MAP: | The 9-layer vertical gradient (Grey-to-Black) creates a 3D relief pattern that mimics hypsometric maps. By utilizing hand-painted lacquer across 67 individual plates, the intercept ensures the archive holds a record of “Industrial Artisanship” where volume is the primary complication. |
| ▪CHASSIS_LOGIC: | Utilizing Die-Cast 316L Steel in a bezel-less “UFO” silhouette establishes a high-resistance aesthetic profile. The 12.4mm height is dominated by a massive box sapphire crystal, providing the lateral light required to illuminate the topographical depth. |
| ▪ALPHA_THESIS: | By securing the Variant B (1 of 299), the archive captures the first topographical application of the gradient shift. This material divergence from the uniform FFF&F run establishes a high-value aesthetic hedge against the broader indie-industrial market. |
[ III. CUSTODIAN_VERDICT ]
“Extraction logic confirmed. The Projekt 02 Variant B captures a level of architectural complexity usually reserved for $80k+ MB&F HM11 Sovereigns. Asset status: ALLOCATED. Physical ingress projected for May 2026.”
