Atelier Wen was founded by two French men, Wilfried Buiron and Robin Tallendier – two close friends who bonded while studying in Beijing back in 2016. Through a shared passion for China, watches and starting new adventures, and fuelled by the observation that the industry has a lack of awareness regarding Chinese craftsmanship, Atelier Wen was created to celebrate the deep well of traditional and modern watchmaking capabilities in China.
