Atelier Wen Perception Piao

For those unfamiliar with Atelier Wen, they're a young watch company started by two Frenchmen, Robin Tallendier and Wilfried Buiron, whom have a passion for Chinese culture and horology. With Atelier Wen, they decided to combine their passions and promote Chinese watch manufacturing, whilst helping to elevate it to a level not previously seen.

This particular piece is their second offering, and their take on the integrated steel sports watch. Known as the Perception, it features a 40mm case in 904l steel, that is a mere 9.4mm thick, and mounted to a seamlessly integrated bracelet. Within this case lies the party piece, a handmade guilloche dial made with a rose engine by China's sole guilloche master craftsmen, and it is pretty dang spectacular in person, and something not seen at these price points. Atop this dial sits lumed hands, and it's topped with a double-domed sapphire crystal with AR. Powering it is an extra-thin Dandong automatic movement with 32 jewels, a tungsten rotor with circular cotes de geneve, 32 jewels, and black rhodium plating visible through the semi-display back.

This particular example was sold new in January 2023 and presents in TZ Good condition. There's barely any marks on the case, but the presence of a few small dings on the right side lower bevel line above the crown is the reason for the 'Good' rather than 'Near Mint' grading. Buckle has extremely minor desk diving marks. Please see images for full condition details.

Comes with outer sleeve, outer box, inner box, travel case, cleaning cloth, Atelier Wen strap, spare links to complete the bracelet, warranty booklet dated Jan 2023 and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
