A unique piece, fully personalised
After the presentation in May 2017 of the first Everywhere watch, Rémi Maillat, founder of Krayon, this year presents a new custom timepiece. Through exchanges with the client, taking his ideas into accountand associating his personality with Krayon's own environment and its unique complication, Rémi Maillat has created Everywhere Horizon.
On land and at sea, the path of the sun across the sky underpins the notion of time and is even a way to measure its passing. Krayon's engineers nurtured their dream to be able to know sunrise and sunset times at any point on the globe, thanks to a mechanical movement. By making this dream reality, they have achieved something totally unprecedented in watchmaking: a universal mechanical calculator that gives the exact sunrise and sunset times.
The outer dial materialises the whole day with its 24 hours scale. sunrise and sunset times are read on it where the day and night sectors meets. As the seasons change, or at different locations, the number of daylight hours lengthens or shortens. The blue arrow, indicating the hours on this same dial describes the path of the sun as it travels through the sky.
Everywhere Horizon's case, which measures 43 mm in diameter, is singularised by a bezel set with 70 baguette diamonds, weighing some 3.50 carats in total. The lugs are also set with 24 baguette diamonds for a total of around 1.35 carats. The case itself is exquisitely decorated. This miniature sculpture is a combination of several engraving techniques and has been carefully executed by hand using gravers and other very specific tools. As a final flourish, Everywhere Horizon is mounted on a black alligator strap with a white gold pin buckle.
