At Atelier Wen, we have made it our mission to celebrate and elevate the global perception of Chinese culture and craftsmanship. Through our partnerships with some of the finest artisans, artists, designers and watchmakers in all of China, we seek to push the boundaries of what a global Chinese watch brand can be. In doing so, we aim to breathe life back into forgotten Chinese crafts, thereby inspiring a new generation of undeniably-Chinese artistry.
Translating directly to “culture workshop”, Atelier Wen combines the French word for workshop, atelier, and the Chinese word for culture, wén (文). It is the brainchild of two French Sinophiles with deep-seated ties to China, RobinTallendier and Wilfried Buiron, who were brought together by their shared passions for Chinese culture, watches and a desire to create something novel and innovative centered around exceptional watchmaking.
