Independents

Not that one from the crown, but from an independent manufacturer who has released gems like the Everywhere and Anywhere. This is the 3rd Krayon model named Anyday which works like a mechanical calendar planner, with the entire month's day and date information available at a glance. As always, his movements are hand-finished with sharp inward angles scattered across. I always like date complications and when I first heard of Krayon's Anywhere in March, I knew I have to get it. Fast forward today and I couldn't be happier with this watch on my wrist. Krayon watches are nicely sized with short lug-to-lug which is perfect for one with smaller wrist. Rémi texted me yesterday and asked me to give him any feedback as an owner, so that he can make his watch better. He is a humble bloke and eager to improve - I will leave you with pictures to enjoy the watch

such a cool complication. 

It's also very easy to set both the day and date.

I was able to see it when it was released and it is as clever as it is elegant! And as always with small independents it is about the people.

It's so slim even with that complication. And I suggested to Rémi to apply a different colour (yellow or red) to the date marker so there is a better contrast. He said will consider for that later release. Independent decision making 😄

Another was to make it an annual calendar, which was apparently the original design. They had the movement and everything but decided against it to simplify the setting of the watch.
The only reason I didn't go for it was because aesthetically it feels a bit similar to my anywhere.

although your Anywhere is a more complex watch with more interior angles (yes I counted) 👍🏻

This complication is original and probably quite useful on a daily basis.
Wear it in the best of health.
Best, Emmanuel

It's a practical watch and a daily wear 🙏🏻

And such a nice complication, quite clever.

I will enjoy wearing this one for sure.

I need to share those glorious finishing

I have owned a watch where the real finishing is subpar from official pictures. This Anyday hand-finishing is as good as official pictures, and I just shared my observations with Rémi earlier. He should be proud of the consistenty high effort with the hand-finishing across his watches.

I was lucky to handle both Anywhere and Everywhere at Cellini's in NYC and St. Barth's. He's a real deal. A fantastic watch. Congrats again.

I haven't handled Everywhere before but the complication is mind boggling 🤤

I will be visiting them next week!

I'm certain you will like his watches 👍🏻
He is also a very nice guy. Please update after your visit. Have fun!

This complication is uncommon.

Thanks for sharing the live shots. I've tried the Anywhere, but haven't seen this one in person.

I agree they are super friendly, humble, and also one of the most innovative and creative teams out there today. Love the subtle attention to detail on all their finishing and design as well.

Enjoy!
