The Krayon Anyday is a contemporary wristwatch with a pioneering mechanism that displays the full month at a glance – not just the date, but weekdays and weekends too – all on a single scale. Rather than a dense calendar display that spreads information across multiple subdials, it makes for a quick and intuitive processing of information. For 2026 they’ve expanded the range with a new Anyday Rose Gold edition with an updated display in anthracite grey.
The case of the Anyday measures 39mm in diameter and 9.5mm in thickness, constructed from 18K rose gold. This material choice gives the watch a luxurious feel and a robust structure. The case dimensions ensure a comfortable fit on the wrist, suitable for daily wear. It also contrasts nicely with that updated grey dial.
Speaking of which, the dial of the Krayon Anyday Rose Gold features a two-tone anthracite design. Around the edge of the display is the unique calendar complication that shows the entire month, with weekdays and weekends differentiated by colour while a half-moon hands indicates the current date.
Inside the Anyday is the Calibre C032, an automatic movement operating at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz). This movement offers a power reserve of 72-hours, ensuring reliable performance over several days without winding. The movement’s design includes 378 components, highlighting the complexity of the innovative calendar.
Completing the design is a strap is made from anthracite lizard leather, complementing the dial’s colour scheme and adding to the overall elegance of the piece. The Krayon Anyday Rose Gold is priced at CHF 98,000 (approx. £93,600). A dramatic price tag but not a surprising one given the price of gold recently and its unusual calendar display.

I don’t think that many people will argue the fact that this is a stunningly beautiful watch, just the right amount of rose gold so as to remain this side of garish, but, overly complicated from my perspective. Who actually needs a watch with full calendar features like this (other than somebody waking from a long coma), but then again, as a manual wind rather than an automatic, somebody needs to keep it wound. I have a day / date watch that is also beautiful, but remains a pain in the posterior to adjust when the days of the month differ (as they do regularly), and at that cost, being as it is, close to the £100k mark, and not even listed as a limited edition, the question remains, what the hell.
