Krayon is the brainchild of Remi Maillat; the first model was aptly named Everywhere, a world première it was a timepiece that could indicate the times of sunset and sunrise on any point of the globe and, more impressively, it could be adjusted by the wearer. Everywhere won the prestigious Innovations award at the GPHG 2018. The Anywhere is a somewhat simplified version of the original piece; the watch still indicates times of sunset and sunrise at the client’s desired location. However, the owner can no longer set the watch to his/her desired location but should take it to a watchmaker who can very easily make the adjustments.

Hours and minutes are indicated via central hands, and the subdial at 6 o’clock displays the date and month. The bi-color ring at the periphery of the dial represents the length of a day, changing across the year. A diurnal sector (light blue) and a nocturnal sector (dark blue) are indicated by their positions the sunrise and sunset times. In a very poetic manner, the sun pointer indicates the time of the day on a 24-hour scale.
The movement is lavishly executed and finished with potent Geneva waves and superb polished angles. Composed of no less than 432 components, the top section of the movement is reserved for the time-telling and winding mechanisms, whereas the lower part features the elements enabling the times of sunset and sunrise to be set. The long central screw is used for the latitude. The two adjustment screws on the bridges on either side of the mechanism are used (respectively for the sunrise and the sunset) to set the longitude. The dial of the present Anywhere is lavishly executed and gives its name to the watch Métiers d’Art Azur.

The lacquer dial resembles a mosaic of blues from light transitioning to dark. Limited to only 15 pieces the present watch is in excellent condition and accompanied by its full set of accessories.

Please note that Krayon will offer the winning bidder a complimentary adjustment of the sunrise/sunset city for this Anywhere.
