Calypso - William Dandjinou

The Calypso x William Dandjinou is a unique creation, born from the encounter between Anka and Canadian athlete William Dandjinou, short track speed skating champion. Conceived as a horological manifesto, this watch is much more than a timepiece: it is a symbol, a call to freedom, elevation, and self-affirmation.

Engraved on the back with the message “Spread your wings”, this piece reminds us that every second is an opportunity to spread our wings, to gain altitude and to chart our own course.

On the dial, two white hands sketching a flight compose a minimalist yet powerful design, which transforms with the rhythm of the hands. Each hour becomes a movement, a breath, a creative impulse.

As a Canadian speed skater, William Dandjinou embodies the perfect blend of discipline and freedom, performance and elegance of movement. His world, marked by speed, pushing boundaries, and exploring new limits, naturally partnered with Anka to create a watch that reflects this energy.

The Calypso retains its DNA – clean lines, masterful ergonomics, immediate comfort on the wrist – but reinvents itself here through the universe of William Dandjinou, where high-level sport meets watch design to create an aesthetic and emotional experience.

This watch is an invitation to see time differently: no longer as a constraint, but as a playground, an infinite space for personal expression.
