Krayon has introduced the ‘Anywhere Aurora,’ its first titanium watch, featuring a striking new green dial that captures the essence of nature’s most captivating phenomena.
A Celebration of Green
The new green hue of the ‘Anywhere Aurora’ evokes powerful natural scenes—from the mesmerizing northern lights to the fresh greens of spring.
This colour symbolizes renewal, optimism, and a deep connection to the natural world. It’s a fitting addition to Krayon’s collection, reflecting the brand’s spirit since its inception in 2017.
Titanium: Light and Strong
Titanium offers several advantages over traditional watch materials. Weighing just 50 grams, the ‘Anywhere Aurora’ is incredibly light.
This metal is also corrosion-resistant, hypoallergenic, biocompatible, and has low magnetism, ensuring the precision of the watch’s movement. The result is a watch that is not only robust but also remarkably comfortable to wear.
High-Precision Craftsmanship
Crafting a watch from titanium presents unique challenges. Krayon has overcome these by hand-polishing the case and intricately designing the lugs, soldered directly onto the case with a subtle downturn highlighted by gadroon fluting.
This meticulous process transforms raw titanium into a polished, shimmering work of art that uniquely captures light.
The dial’s vibrant green hue is achieved using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), a high-precision process that deposits ultrathin films layer by layer. This method allows for exact colour gradation and exceptional scratch resistance, resulting in a dial that transitions from light green to iridescent turquoise under different lighting conditions.
Personal Time Anywhere
The ‘Anywhere Aurora’ by Krayon offers a unique horological complication that allows wearers to track the exact moments of sunrise and sunset at any chosen location on Earth.
This feature connects the wearer to the natural rhythms of the day, marking the transition from day to night in a deeply personal and meaningful way.
A Signature Complication
Unlike traditional watches that display time-based on fixed cities, the ‘Anywhere Aurora’ adapts to the wearer’s chosen location. This is a distilled version of Krayon’s earlier model, ‘Everywhere,’ which won the Innovation Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in 2018.
The ‘Anywhere Aurora’ features a central dial with hour and minute hands, surrounded by a peripheral ring indicating 24-hour time, with segments for day and night that adjust based on latitude.
The Illusion of Simplicity
Despite its complex mechanics, the ‘Anywhere Aurora’ maintains a sleek and elegant design.
The 39mm case, just 9mm thick, houses the Caliber C030, a manual movement with 432 components and a 72-hour power reserve. This calibre was developed by Rémi Maillat and showcases Krayon’s commitment to precision and innovation.
Pricing and Availability
The Krayon ‘Anywhere Aurora’ is available for SGD 227,000 inclusive of tax and comes with two straps—one in grained calfskin and the other in salmon skin, reflecting Krayon’s affinity with the element of Water.
