atelier wen

Founded in 2017 by French watch enthusiasts Robin Tallendier and Wilfried Buiron, Atelier Wen was established to elevate the global perception of modern Chinese horology. The brand’s name—combining the French word for workshop with the Chinese character for culture—reflects its mission to unite French design sensibilities with traditional Chinese artisanship. Atelier Wen is best known for its intricate, hand-turned guilloché dials crafted by master artisan Cheng Yucai, which serve as the focal point of its signature integrated-bracelet sports watches. The brand’s core collections, such as the Perception and the dressier Ancestra, feature architectural cases and custom-developed movements that incorporate Chinese cultural motifs, like bridges shaped into traditional symbols. By utilizing materials like 904L steel, titanium, and tantalum, alongside techniques like grand feu enamel and porcelain, Atelier Wen creates highly textured, visually striking timepieces.
