Is it the material? The craftsmanship? The story? Atelier Wen answers this in its own way, by combining French design thinking with Chinese craft traditions thousands of years old. The Perception V3 is the most complete expression of this intention to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial: guilloché from the hand of China's first master\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCentral to the watch is the guilloché dial in an écailles de poisson, or \"fish scale,\" pattern, hand-engraved in the workshop of Cheng Yucai, China's first certified master of guilloché engraving. Each dial is created over hours of uninterrupted work on a self-designed rose-engine lathe. A single mistake means starting over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGuilloché as a technique survives in a handful of places around the world. Most manufacturers have switched to CNC and stamping. Engine turning requires a human hand, feel, and years of practice that cannot be learned from instructions alone. That is precisely where the craft's salvation lies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe four-part dial construction is based on the principle of sǔn mǎo, a Chinese carpentry technique of joining without nails or glue. The indices are set into the guilloché base without visible fasteners, above which sits a minute track with a Chinese huiwen pattern printed with Super-LumiNova X1. The applied indices are rhodium-plated. The dial is not held together by glue. It holds itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement EPM03: a French heart with a Chinese soul\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the V3 version, Atelier Wen has for the first time used a movement from the French manufacture Pequignet, based in Morteau. This is one of the last truly independent movement manufacturers in France, designing, developing, and assembling its calibers entirely in-house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EPM03 caliber achieves chronometer-grade accuracy (-4\/+6 s\/day, averaging ±2 s\/day), is regulated in six positions and three temperatures, boasts a 65-hour power reserve, and a hacking seconds function – a first for Perception. The bidirectional Pellaton-style winding mechanism with a patented tooth profile reduces wear and increases winding efficiency. The bridges are shaped into a traditional Chinese wind symbol and filled with polished dark blue aventurine lacquer, evoking a night sky in light. The surfaces feature wavy Côtes de Genève, black polished screws, anglage, perlage, and a snailed and frosted rotor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e904L steel case\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e904L steel is a material not often seen in the world of independent watches. It is a so-called superaustenitic alloy with a higher proportion of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum, which polishes to an exceptionally deep, almost liquid luster and resists corrosion better than standard 316L. Every edge of the case is deliberately crafted: brushed surfaces contrast with polished bevels, the upper part of the lugs refers to the subtle slopes of historical roof constructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yún variant now comes with a micro-frosted finish and polished bevels, a contemporary matte character that contrasts with the brushed and polished finishes of the Piāo and Xiá variants. The case diameter is 40 mm, lug-to-lug length 47 mm, thickness 10.4 mm. The transparent sapphire crystal caseback with 10 layers of anti-reflective coating offers a view of the entire movement. Water resistance 100 m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet with patented clasp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated bracelet made of the same 904L steel tapers from 22 mm at the case to 18 mm at the clasp, gradually thinning from 3 mm to 2.6 mm. Asymmetric hexagonal links refer to the roofs and windows of traditional Chinese architecture. The clasp with a patented on-the-fly micro-adjustment allows for length fine-tuning without removing the watch – a button hidden under the Atelier Wen logo on the clasp releases the mechanism for seamless adjustment. The telescopic deployant blade keeps the clasp slim while allowing easy donning over the hand. Quick-release spring bars ensure easy replacement with an FKM rubber strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree variants\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYún 筠 refers to bamboo green – a new addition to the collection, with a micro-frosted case surface. Piāo 缥 is icy blue, Xiá 霞 is salmon. All variants share identical dimensions, movement, and construction; they differ in dial color and case and bracelet finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 mm, height 10.4 mm, Lug-to-lug: 47 mm, 904L stainless steel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal\u003c\/strong\u003e: sapphire, double domed box-dome, 10 layers of anti-reflective coating\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Super-LumiNova X1, rhodium-plated feuille, hand-bent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 m\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pequignet EPM03, automatic bidirectional winding, 21 jewels.

That says it all. Atelier Wen is a project by two Frenchmen, Robin and Wilfried, who met in Beijing in 2016 and shared a desire to change the way the world views Chinese craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRobin began collecting watches at sixteen, worked for the French Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai and for Christie's in London, and has been an advisor to the Chinese state Watchmaking Industry Association (中国钟表协会) since 2016. Wilfried, a Hong Kong native and graduate of Peking University and Tsinghua University, has coordinated production and design from day one. Outside of Atelier Wen, he is behind the launch of Zaapi – a digital commerce infrastructure for Southeast Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, they founded Atelier Wen in 2018 with one goal: to create watches with a Chinese soul at the highest level of craftsmanship. The first Kickstarter campaign reached its funding goal in less than 30 minutes. Since then, the brand has steadily moved upwards – to better materials, more sophisticated movements, and deeper collaboration with Chinese artisans who would otherwise remain unknown to the world beyond China's borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerception V3 is the most complete expression of this intention to date.
