Krayon Anyday: A new language for calendar watches
A calendar clock that not only measures time, but also organizes it visibly—intuitive, clear, and surprisingly practical for everyday use.
Instead of merely refining existing complications, the company, led by founder Rémi Maillat, consistently develops new mechanical concepts. The new version of the Anyday is available in 18-carat rose gold and combines an elegant case with an anthracite-colored dial, which offers particularly clear readability thanks to its two-tone design. The watch remains true to its original idea: to display the entire month at a glance.
The entire month at a glance
While classic calendar watches usually only display the date, Krayon takes a different approach. The Anyday makes the entire month visible on the dial.
A fixed ring with the numbers 1 to 31 forms the basis of the display. A small, elegantly designed crescent moon moves along this scale and shows the current date. This allows the wearer to see not only today’s date, but also how the rest of the month is structured.
The clock thus answers very practical everyday questions:
Is the 10th a working day?
Does the 15th fall on a weekend?
How many working days are left until the end of the month?
Instead of displaying individual data in isolation, Anyday presents the month like a mechanical agenda on your wrist.
Mechanics suitable for everyday use
Despite its unusual display, the Anyday remains surprisingly straightforward. Each month is initially treated mechanically as a 31-day month, meaning that the owner only has to make five manual corrections per year—similar to a traditional calendar.
The date changes precisely and instantly at midnight. A special mechanism stores energy for 24 hours, which is then released in a fraction of a second so that the date jumps forward exactly.
Time reimagined
The Krayon Anyday exemplifies a new direction in haute horlogerie. Instead of presenting complexity for its own sake, the brand develops mechanisms that visualize time in an understandable and elegant way.
In a world where appointments are mostly organized on screens, Anyday offers a surprisingly analog alternative: a calm, mechanical overview of the coming month—right on your wrist.
