The brand is recognized for their intricate watchmaking mechanisms that set them apart in the industry. Krayon is part of the independent watchmaking scene, where craftsmanship and innovation are highly valued, and incorporates complex mechanisms and high-quality materials.

One of KRAYON's notable creations is the "Anywhere" watch, which can display the time of sunrise and sunset at any location on the globe chosen by the wearer. This innovative feature makes it a unique and functional timepiece. Introduced in 2020, it's a timepiece that transcends conventional horology. It represents the convergence of mathematical precision, and artistic watchmaking craftsmanship, capturing the essence of time measurement as a unique and multifaceted art form, making it a nice addition to the world of horological innovation.

In 2021, Krayon made its debut appearance at the Only Watch charity auction. The star of the show was the “Anywhere Métiers d'Art” watch, a one-of-a-kind timepiece adorned with Claude Monet sunset. This year, Krayon returned for its second participation in the Only Watch event, and introduced the "Anywhere Only Watch 2023" timepiece, with a dial that featured a range of blue shades, paying homage to the intricate art of pointillism, handcrafted by a passionate artist from La Chaux-de-Fonds, and drawing its inspiration from Théo van Rysselberghe's painting titled "Coastal Scene”.

Now, KRAYON introduces the “Anywhere Aurora”,  the first KRAYON watch in Grade 5 titanium, with a distinctive green dial that is inspired by the Northern lights (aurora borealis). This watch serves as a testament to the brand’s fascination with the profound relationship between humanity and the natural world.

The “Anywhere Aurora” boasts a sleek 39mm case with an elegant recess that gracefully extends beneath the bezel and above the sapphire caseback, with a slim profile, measuring just 9mm in thickness.

In the second position, you can easily adjust the date, and the third position is designed for setting the time.

The heart of the 'Anywhere Aurora' is its striking atomic green dial, achieved through the innovative ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) process. At the center of the dial, you'll find hour and minute indications, with a day and night indicator, sunrise and sunset indications depending on the wearer's chosen location, a 24-hour display, and a date indicator positioned at 6 o'clock, with a month indicator that needs to be adjusted every month that doesn't end in 31 days.

Beneath the sapphire case back, lies the Hand-wound Caliber C030 that it designed, developed, and assembled in Neuchatel, Switzerland, by Rémi Maillat. It offers 72 hours of power reserve, ensuring that this watch will keep perfect time for days on end.
