Designer
Jörg Hysek
Jörg Hysek left Rolex and Seiko's European studios to build a design practice in Geneva, giving houses such as Vacheron Constantin, Breguet, Seiko and TAG Heuer their sculptural, architecture-led cases before founding his own brand, HD3.
Historical significance
Krayon Metiers d'Art 38 mm Silvered Stainless sits within Krayon's Metiers d'Art line, introduced in 2017. It carries the house codes established since 2017 — stainless steel case, silvered opaline 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.
- Early production dials show a slightly different minute track, and collectors pay a premium for them.
- 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.
