Krayon Information

More than a watchmaker, Rémi Maillat, founder of Krayon, is a watch design engineer. His has a precious talent: the ability to materialise mathematical calculations into fantastic watchmaking creations. With disconcerting simplicity. Whether it is to make real the aspirations of discerning clients or to give substance to his own imagination, this gifted engineer truly masters the technical complexities of the art of watchmaking. Always true to the spirit of simplicity, to him a workable concept can always be sketched with a pencil. In 2017, Rémi Maillat presented Everywhere, his first creation. A year later, he followed up with the bespoke Everywhere Horizon, which won the Innovation Watch Prize at the 2018 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. As a watchmaker and engineer, Rémi Maillat is inhabited by the particular spark that drives true creative spirits. Everyday experiences still push him to imagine new watchmaking solutions. Nature never ceases to inspire him. In Rémi Maillat's hands, mathematical abstraction becomes an instrument, like a draftsman’s pen, for developing new and useful complications. Today's watchmaker in the truest sense of the word. In 2020, Rémi Maillat presented Anywhere, a timepiece uncompromisingly faithful to the concept of the art of the singular measurement of time. A marvellous synthesis of mathematics, artistic watchmaking creation, the poetry of details and a truly philosophical dimension. 2021 saw the birth of Krayon’s first women’s watch: Lady Anywhere is a timepiece as harmonious and poetic in its design as it is complex and virtuoso in its making. A personalised ephemeris, poetry and romance in time and place.
