Anywhere Only Watch Krayon

Independent watchmaking · Horological design

This record does not correspond to a documented visual or fine artist. Repeated primary and specialist sourcing traces the name instead to a lot title, Krayon, Anywhere Only Watch, the designation for a unique wristwatch made by the independent Swiss watchmaking brand Krayon for the Only Watch charity auction. The entry is preserved here in draft form, with every field either left blank, hedged, or attributed to the actual documented subject, the Krayon brand and its watches, so that no biographical detail is invented for a person who cannot be confirmed to exist under this name.

No birth date, death date, nationality, gender, or education could be confirmed for a person named Anywhere Only Watch Krayon. What is documented, across Krayon's own site and independent watch press, concerns the brand: Krayon is an independent watchmaking company based in Neuchatel, Switzerland, founded in 2013 by Remi Maillat, described in brand and press materials as a watch design engineer and watchmaker. Krayon launched its first watch, Everywhere, in 2017, and later introduced Anywhere, a mechanical watch that indicates day length and sunrise and sunset time for a location the wearer sets on the dial. Anywhere Only Watch 2021 and Anywhere Only Watch 2023 are unique versions of that model, made as donations to the Only Watch charity auction. No source in the available research confirms living or deceased status for a specific individual under the name Anywhere Only Watch Krayon. A 2026 industry profile page presents Remi Maillat in the present tense as Krayon's founder and lists current contact details for the brand, consistent with him being active as of 2026, but that is a statement about the brand's founder, not about a separate artist of this name.

No named critic quotations from major art-press outlets could be confirmed for this name or for the Krayon brand in the available research. Independent watch trade press, including Monochrome Watches, Revolution, Quill and Pad, and Watches by SJX, has covered the Anywhere model's sunrise and sunset complication favorably as a technical achievement, and Krayon's earlier Everywhere model received the Innovation Prize at the 2018 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve. None of this constitutes documented critical reception of a visual artist.

The strongest confirmed market data point tied to this name is the sale of the unique piece known as Krayon, Anywhere Only Watch 2023, which specialist reporting places at CHF 440,000. Two independent outlets attribute this result to the Only Watch 2024 auction cycle in Geneva rather than a 2023 sale, though neither names an auction house, and the exact calendar date is not directly stated; one source infers 10 May 2024 without confirming it. Available sourcing also disagrees on the lot number, with one outlet citing Lot 23 and another citing Lot 34 for what appears to be the same piece, an unresolved discrepancy logged rather than guessed at. An earlier unique piece, Anywhere Only Watch 2021, is described by Only Watch's own materials as having sold for four times its estimate, without a published hammer price. These are auction results for a horological object made by a watch brand, not for a work by a fine artist, and should not be read as a fine art market record.

Authentication and provenance

No catalogue raisonne.

No catalogue raisonne exists for this name because no documented visual or fine artist has been identified under it. Available sourcing traces the name to a unique watch lot, Krayon, Anywhere Only Watch 2023, produced by the independent Swiss watchmaking brand Krayon. This record is retained in draft status pending correction of the underlying artist attribution.

Primary reference: https://www.krayon.ch/anywhere.php

This entry should not be treated as a standard artist market profile. There is no confirmed catalogue raisonne, no confirmed gallery or estate representation, and no confirmed museum collection holding, because no documented fine artist has been identified under this name. The one hard auction figure available, CHF 440,000 for the unique Anywhere Only Watch piece, describes a watch sold as part of the Only Watch charity auction, not a painting, sculpture, or print, and carries unresolved date and lot-number discrepancies in the underlying sources. Anyone relying on this record for acquisition or valuation purposes should treat the artist identity itself as unverified pending correction upstream.
