In contrast, sunset ushers in a time of reflection and tranquility. It symbolizes the transition from activity to rest, inviting us to contemplate the day’s journey and find peace in the approaching night. These two moments, though at opposite ends, complement each other, setting the overarching rhythm of our lives with balance – movement and rest, renewal and stillness – always in motion yet deeply rooted within us.

The symbolism of sunrise and sunset, the interplay of light and time, that so profoundly resonates in Henri Rousseau’s masterpiece The Virgin Forest at Sunset, finds its echo in Krayon’s Anywhere Arborea watch.
In Rousseau’s masterpiece, the fading light bathes the jungle in a mysterious and calming atmosphere, capturing that fleeting moment when day surrenders to night. Krayon’s Anywhere complication brings Rousseau's artistic vision into tangible form on your wrist, allowing you to experience that same magic wherever you are, tailored to any location you choose.

Just as Rousseau turned observation into poetic vision, Krayon elevates timekeeping into a more personal, meaningful experience, where each solar cycle serves as a reminder of our profound connection to nature and the vital role these transitions play in the rhythm of life.

The choice of this scene, where nature comes alive under the last rays of the sun, perfectly mirrors Krayon’s unique ephemeris complication, where each sunrise and sunset is defined by the location chosen by the wearer.
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, each one of the 575 miniature alveola – each unique in size and shape – 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.
