A contemporary agenda on the wrist
Krayon’s Anyday treats the calendar wristwatch as a planning tool, presenting the entire month around the dial instead of isolated windows. This 18K rose gold execution with anthracite grey dial keeps the original display while bringing a warm, discreet presence to a compact 39 mm case.
Classical codes remain with slim hands and twelve applied markers, while the full-month display lets the wearer read upcoming days and weeks at a glance.
A full month, laid out in front of you
A fixed ring numbered 1 to 31 runs around the dial, with a crescent moon that jumps at midnight to indicate the date. Its position shows where you are in the month and how the coming weeks are structured, echoing the clarity of a paper agenda.
This layout makes it easy to see on which day of the week any date falls and how many working days remain.
Colour as information
The anthracite palette is tuned for legibility, with two superimposed discs hand-painted by Le Locle-based craftsman André Martinez. Weekdays appear in one tone and weekends in a golden hue, establishing an intuitive five‑and‑two rhythm across the month.
The day of the week is conveyed purely through colour, without letters or apertures, so the eye quickly distinguishes working days from weekends, while date and day-of-week are adjusted from the crown’s first position.
The four extra days and a fluid end-of-month
A full-month display raises the question of how to show the turn of the month without confusion, so Krayon inserts four discreet dots at six o’clock between 31 and 1, expanding the layout to 35 positions.
- They mark the opening days of the next month through the same colour code.
- They show the closing days of the previous month in an equally direct way.
Calibre C032: precision for everyday life
Anyday treats every month as a 31-day month, so five manual corrections are needed each year for shorter months. The indications jump forward at midnight, driven by a cam system that stores energy over 24 hours and releases it in a fraction of a second, including the switch from the 31st to the 1st.
The 18K rose gold case is 9.5 mm thick and frames a guilloché central section bearing Krayon’s stylised “Y” motif on an anthracite sunburst background. Inside, the in-house manual-wind Calibre C032 measures 35.40 mm in diameter and 5.00 mm in thickness, with a 72-hour power reserve, 3 Hz frequency, 46 jewels and 378 components, finished with chamfered edges, inward angles, bridges inspired by the Neuchâtel lakeshore and a main plate with “Krayon waves”.
Krayon’s language of time
Founded in Neuchâtel by watchmaking engineer-designer Rémi Maillat, Krayon focuses on astronomical and calendar mechanisms expressed through legible displays. From Everywhere in 2017, recognised at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, to Anywhere and now Anyday with its Calibre C032, the brand pursues a contemporary vision of independent Swiss watchmaking intended for daily wear.
Why it matters
The Anyday in rose gold offers a full view of the month, allowing the wearer to see dates and weeks as a single, ordered whole. For collectors managing busy agendas, it is a mechanical tool that clarifies how time is organised while remaining grounded in traditional Swiss hand-finishing.
