ANYWHERE ARBOREA
A NEW CREATION BY KRAYON : « ANYWHERE ARBOREA » AN ODE TO MÉTIERS D’ART AND IMAGINATION
From canvas to watch: the poetic harmony between Rousseau’s Nature and Krayon’s Anywhere Complication, an intimate celebration of the solar cycle.
An exclusive Limited Edition of 15 platinum watches only, reinterpreting Henri Rousseau’s iconic painting « The Virgin Forest at Sunset. »
A TRIBUTE TO THE VISIONARY IMAGINATION OF HENRI ROUSSEAU
When asked, “Why Henri Rousseau?”, Rémi Maillat, master watchmaker and founder of Krayon, highlights the painter’s boundless imagination. Despite never leaving Paris, Rousseau conjured lush tropical landscapes – creations born of his fertile creativity.
This ability to transcend reality through imagination perfectly aligns with the spirit of Krayon’s Anywhere Arborea: an artistic abstraction combining technical precision with horological poetry.
Like Rousseau, Krayon transforms realistic elements into something imaginative, turning timekeeping into a personal and intimate experience. The dial of the watch evokes this magical atmosphere, brought to life by the skilled hands of a Swiss artist, who meticulously applies each color to achieve the desired spectrum of tones, recreating a contemporary interpretation of the famous painting.
BLENDING TECHNICAL PROWESS WITH ARTISANAL EXPERTISE
Blending technical prowess with artisanal expertise, each one of the 575 miniature alveola – each unique in shape and color – is delicately hand-painted, showcasing the artistry behind every detail and the sense of wonder it evokes. The tropical scene, bathed in the contrasting hues of the setting sun, mirrors the exclusive complication of the watch, which reveals the precise sunset time at any location on the globe.
THE ANYWHERE ARBOREA WATCH: AN INTIMATE CONNECTION WITH NATURE
Anywhere Arborea is much more than a horological complication. It serves as an intimate representation of our relationship with Time and Earth. With its organic shades of green, brown, and yellow reflecting nature, and the vibrant blue and white of the sky illuminated by a fiery orange-red sun, the dial draws us into the captivating colors of life.
In reinterpreting Rousseau’s sunset scene, Krayon imbues its creation with both emotional and geographic depth, intertwining personal memories with the tangible landmarks of our planet.
THE PERSONAL EPHEMERIS: WHEN TIME BECOMES EMOTION
Imagine knowing the exact time of sunrise or sunset, for a place chosen by You – your special place, anywhere on the planet.
Anywhere Arborea offers a unique complication in the world of haute horlogerie, allowing its wearer to know the length of the day and the precise times of sunrise and sunset for a location of their choice, anywhere in the world. Anywhere Arborea connects us to the Earth in a deeply personal way.
With this complication, Krayon transforms each day into a unique work of art, placing the wearer at the heart of a universal yet personal experience of time. Merging art with precision, the Anywhere complication offers a profoundly intimate and emotional connection with time.
