Designer

Historical significance
Krayon Anywhere 42 mm Skeletonised Ceramic sits within Krayon's Anywhere line, introduced in 2017. It carries the house codes established since 2017 — ceramic case, skeletonised dial and manual-winding, hand-finished — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- The bracelet tapers across its length, which is why the profile looks thinner on the wrist than the specification suggests.
- The case is finished by hand, alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces in a single pass so the edges stay razor sharp.
- The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.

Brand history
Krayon has spent more than 9 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Everywhere, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Rémi Maillat established Krayon in 2017, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Krayon calibre produced today.
