Atelier Wen

Atelier Wen

Atelier Wen translates directly to “culture workshop”; it combines the French word for workshop, Atelier, and the Chinese word for culture, 文 (Wén). Atelier Wen is a project that unites French and Chinese creatives on a mission to re-define the meaning of modern Chinese style, and to display it in novel forms that speak to all who appreciate objects of beauty and meaning.

The feats of Chinese watchmaking and artisanship often go unnoticed in a world preoccupied with European luxury. Yet the country’s roots in the field of horology extend deeply, and its array of traditional crafts abound in both variety and intricacy.

Atelier Wen seeks to bring Chinese watchmaking out of the shadows and to the very forefront of an industry already reliant on its manufacturing capabilities. In creating some of the best watches originating from the Middle Kingdom, Atelier Wen endeavours to reimagine, showcase and celebrate China’s extensive culture and craftsmanship with the rest of the world.

    Atelier Wen Perception Mu

      Atelier Wen's Perception 睦 (Mù) debuts as the very first iteration of the brand's Millésime project, which will feature a more boldly experimental, community-driven and yearly rendition of one of its ongoing lines.   Atelier Wen's Perception 睦 (Mù)  features a regal purple guilloché dial that is hand-turned by the atelier of Master Cheng Yucai, the very first master guillocheur in Asia. The shade of purple on the dial took significant experimentation in plating, and varies startlingly between a captivating ultraviolet and a rich, deep purple under different lighting conditions.睦 (Mù) features a construction of grade 5 titanium throughout its case and bracelet, marking the brand’s first use of the material outside of its limited collaborative pieces so far. Similar to other variants in the Perception series, it is powered by the SL1588A ultra-thin, high-end Chinese automatic movement.As a community-driven edition, it has been given the Chinese name 睦 (Mù), which captures the spirit of amity, kinship and closeness, and represents the brand's admiration and appreciation for the wonderful community that has grown around Atelier Wen. .
