KRAYON Create An Ode To Métiers d’Art And Imagination

Krayon’s ‘Anywhere Complication’, is a poetic harmony between Rousseau’s Nature and an intimate celebration of the solar cycle.

The symbolism of sunrise and sunset, the interplay of light and time, that so profoundly resonates in Henri Rousseau’s masterpiece The Virgin Forest at Sunset (below), finds its echo in Krayon’s Anywhere Arborea watch.

In Rousseau’s masterpiece, the fading light bathes the jungle in a mysterious and calming atmosphere, capturing that fleeting moment when day surrenders to night. Krayon’s Anywhere complication brings Rousseau’s artistic vision into tangible form on your wrist, allowing you to experience that same magic wherever you are, tailored to any location you choose.

Just as Rousseau turned observation into poetic vision, Krayon elevates timekeeping into a more personal, meaningful experience, where each solar cycle serves as a reminder of our profound connection to nature and the vital role these transitions play in the rhythm of life.

When asked, “Why Henri Rousseau?”, Rémi Maillat, master watchmaker and founder of Krayon, highlights the painter’s boundless imagination. Despite never leaving Paris, Rousseau conjured lush tropical landscapes – creations born of his fertile creativity.

Blending technical prowess with artisanal expertise, each one of the 575 miniature alveola – each unique in size and shape – is delicately hand-painted, showcasing the artistry behind every detail and the sense of wonder it evokes. The tropical scene, bathed in the contrasting hues of the setting sun, mirrors the exclusive complication of the watch, which reveals the precise sunset time at any location on the globe.

Anywhere Arborea offers a unique complication in the world of haute horlogerie, allowing its wearer to know the length of the day and the precise times of sunrise and sunset for a location of their choice, anywhere in the world.

With this complication, Krayon transforms each day into a unique work of art, placing the wearer at the heart of a universal yet personal experience of time. Merging art with precision, the Anywhere complication offers a profoundly intimate and emotional connection with time.
