Atelier Wen

Chinese heritage in every detail

Atelier Wen, born from the vibrant cultural tapestry of the Asian continent, crafts timepieces that elegantly reflect the timeless principles of Chinese culture. Steeped in the nation’s vast history of artistry and craftmanship, the brand embraces basic ancient principles like beauty, simplicity, symmetry, and harmony. Moreover, Atelier Wen celebrates its heritage with distinctive elements – integrating oriental geometries and intricate motifs drawn from traditional Chinese art and architecture. The result is a living dialogue between the present and the past: a modern continuation of Chinese aesthetic heritage, expressed with authenticity and clarity for today’s discerning audience.

Atelier Wan has an intriguing origin story, founded by two Frenchmen, Robin Tallendier an Wilfried Buiron, who discovered their passion for Chinese culture while studying in China. Recognising the richness of this heritage, they later teamed up with two talented Chinese designers, Li Minglang and Liu Yuguan. Together, they breathe new life into traditional Chinese design motifs, seamlessly incorporating them into their timepieces. For their celebrated Perception series, Atelier Wen joined forces with Master Chen, a renowned guilloché artisan who meticulously crafts every dial by hand. True to their vision, every Atelier Wen watch bears the label “Proudly made in China.”

Atelier Wen HIGHLIGHTS

A labour of dedication

Atelier Wen’s Perception collection has garnered acclaim as the brand’s signature series, celebrated for its artistic dials and timeless designs. The centrepiece of the watches is the “Sunmao” dial, a creation of Master Chen that features a complex guilloché pattern with four layers, adding depth and dimension to the timepiece. Crafted entirely by hand, each dial takes up to 8 hours to complete, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail behind every Perception watch. Available at Time+Tide, this collection offers stunning colourways, including Grey, Salmon and Ice Blue, perfect for watch enthusiasts seeking something extraordinary.

The art of Chinese watchmaking

In keeping with its philosophy, Atelier Wen integrates the China-made Dandong Peacock automatic movement into its timepieces. This calibre boasts a 41-hour power reserve and showcases exquisite finishing, including Geneva strips and bevelled bridges. Adding to its alure, the Tungsten rotor is adorned with circular côtaes and coated in black rhodium plating. The case back further elevates the design with intricate decorations and a small display window that reveals the heart of the watch. To ensure practically alongside beauty, every Atelier Wen watch is rated for 100m water resistance.
