Swiss independent maker Krayon has teamed with designer Fei Hou to reinterpret a childhood icon into haute horology. The Krayon Pac‑Man series consists of just fifteen unique watches crafted in platinum and powered by the brand’s sophisticated ‘Anywhere’ movement.
Each 39 mm piece features an onyx dial etched with the maze from the 1980 arcade game. Pac‑Man himself serves as the 24‑hour indicator, while four ghosts change colour to indicate sunrise time and a cookie marks sunset. A long pointer hand shows the date and a shorter pointer the month; fruit appears at midday and midnight, and at midnight the ghosts turn blue.
To realise this whimsical mechanism, Krayon mounted multiple discs atop the patented sunrise/sunset complication of its Anywhere movement, allowing the owner to set their exact latitude for accurate solar times.
Despite its playfulness, the watch is executed to a haute‑horlogerie standard with polished platinum casework and a three‑dimensional maze rendered under a domed sapphire crystal. Each of the 15 pieces has a unique dial arrangement and is numbered accordingly.
Pricing has not been announced, but the run will be available exclusively through Krayon’s ateliers. The collaboration reflects the cross‑cultural partnership between Fei Hou and Krayon founder Rémi Maillat, blending childhood nostalgia with mechanical artistry.
