What to know

Atelier Wen’s Perception V3 unites distinct traditions of craft and engineering. The new green Yún dial is turned by the workshop of Cheng Yucai using the écailles de poisson fish-scale guilloché motif, set inside an integrated bracelet sports-watch case whose shapes borrow from Chinese architecture. Its four-part dial construction uses a mortise-and-tenon-inspired approach to fit the dial layers together.

The 904L steel case is 40 mm wide and 10.4 mm thick, with 100-metre water resistance. A major change for the V3 is the customised French Pequignet EPM03 automatic movement, rated to 65 hours. A sapphire display back reveals sculptural bridges finished with blue aventurine lacquer and a decorated rotor. The collection has green Yún, ice-blue Piāo and salmon Xiá variants; the pictured model is the green example. The current EU price is €4,200, with the next allocation scheduled for December 2026.
