Happenings: Rémi Maillat To Lecture At The Horological Society Of New York
We all depend on the sun rising and setting each day and generally know the times it does so. But determining those times with a mechanical watch is complicated. With a deep understanding of that issue, Rémi Maillat has invented a mechanical timepiece that can display sunrise and sunset times nearly anywhere in the world.
At the October 2024 lecture of the Horological Society of New York (HSNY), Maillat, Founder of Krayon, will offer a deep dive into the brand, unveiling the complexity behind their timepieces. Maillat will explore not only the mathematical and mechanical aspects, but also the astronomical implications embedded in what appear to be simple designs. In addition, Maillat will highlight the artistic importance that remains at the heart of all Krayon creations.
The Krayon Everywhere.
About Rémi Maillat
Rémi Maillat
Born in 1984 to a family of scientists (his father is a microtechnology engineer, his mother an associate mathematics professor), Maillat graduated as a Micromechanical Engineer from Applied Sciences University of Le Locle in Switzerland.
He began his horological career developing for various well known, high-end brands, including the Rotonde de Cartier Grande Complication, among others. More than a watchmaker, Maillat has the ability to materialize mathematical calculations and transform them into fantastic watchmaking creations.
