“Perception is a watch that shouldn't exist! It's too good to be true, and incredibly priced.”
Stunning watch. Had issue with piece that arrived, likely from shipment handling, conpany personally stepped in tk get me a replacement piece almost immediately. Could not have had a better customer experience. Thank you again. Number 3 is in the mail in salmon. Will be a great addition to this Blue and the Red
Beautiful design
Good polishing of case and strap
I cannot sing enough praises for the Atelier Wen Perception (even if I could actually sing). The wearing experience far exceeds the anticipation. I knew from the pictures and video reviews that this would be something something special, but until I had the Perception in my hand and on my wrist, I did not know just how special this timepiece would be. The wearing experience transcends that of anything else in my personal collection, or anything I see online or in the jeweler’s window. This masterpiece is truly exceptional.
Compliment from v1 and V2 user: the design of extension at bracelet is so thoughtful as it was so much convenient and comfortable to wear and take off! A credit to AW enhancement!
The proportions and the build quality of the watch is great. The dial is spectacular, but the salmon color is more like apricot or pink. The buckle extension system is very well designed, but the double sided quick release spring bars used on the steel bracelet broke on the first use. I had to use the one sided quick release spring bars from the rubber bracelet. The watch resembles other designs at higher price points, so I'm glad I chose a dial color that those brands don't use.
I sent yall an email separate from this but I love the watch. The quality for the price point is out of this world. I love all the small details you added.
Excellent all around watch. The dial is what got me interested originally. I love how the white hands look on the salmon dial. Enjoy the different style of the watch band and the design on the clasp.
I am absolutely thrilled with my Atelier Wen "2.0". I am wearing it while typing this! The refinements such as the chamfered edges of the bracelet links really elevate this to the level of a truly luxurious product. It is also just wonderful to have this east-west collaboration, something that is personally very significant to me. Congrats Atelier Wen!
The watch is fantastic. Not only because of it’s price/quality relationship, but it’s overall build and attention to detail is really good. It also wears really nice and the dial is awesome
The Perception V2 is beautiful watch. The dial, of course, is incredible but in fact the whole watch is beautifully designed and engineered with clever touches like the simple micro adjustment of the lovely bracelet using the button on the clasp 👏🏻👏🏻
Very easy to use, overall very good experience.
Very easy to use, good experience overall.
Before and after purchase I have kept asking for assistance to adjust the strap as it is too long for me but to date there is no reply .
For me all it’s beaitiful
It is extremely comfortable and fit on my wrist and will definitely happy to recommend everyone to grab it if they haven’t had one.
All the enhancements applied to the Perception have elevated it to one of the most refined watches I've experienced in this price bracket. The chamfering on the bracelet is a significant upgrade from the V1, and the new telescopic clasp blade is a feature that many haute horology maisons don't even offer.
The finishing of the guilloché dial showcases Master Cheng's dedication to his craft, as the ornamental lathes are now even more pronounced. The sculpted counterweight of the seconds hand and the overall finishing of the blued hands contribute to what might be the most attractive dial I've seen on a serial production watch.
Would have loved to see a lumed Atelier Wen logo on the dial or a full exhibition case back, although the stone guardian is a nice touch!
SUPERB WATCH AND I LOVES EVERY DETAILS OF THIS WATCH
It’s been now almost 2 weeks since I received the V2. I’ve worn it off and on during that time. Case and bracelet are easy to adjust for a comfortable fit . Case and bracelet finish are excellent. Dial speaks for itself. Movement
Is keep in time with my best regulated pieces. IMHO this watch hits way above its price point. I purchased 2 rubber straps. I will be using them soon. They look good. Oh the deployant is excellent also .
Very Good
The attention paid to the details and its workmanship is something I don’t see in the price range. It’s amazing and I can see myself smiling whenever I look at its dial.
I am so glad that watches from Atelier Wen can show international consumers that China is also capable of fine craftsmanship that rival the other greats in the industry. The cultural elements of Perception are cleverly included, especially the chapter ring motif and the shishi design on the caseback. These elements are uniquely Chinese while not the least obnoxious. Both the bracelet and rubber strap are comfortable to wear. I also really like the design of the watch box.
Pros: beautiful guilloche dial, polishing of case and bracelet, micro-adjustments of bracelet, accuracy of movement (I am averaging -5 seconds/day), box case and presentation, thinness of watch
Cons: loud rotor, movement does not hack, power reserve could be better
Owning an Atelier Wen Perception means you don’t need to buy a Patek Nautilus. The wearability, balance, and fit of the bracelet is also the best I have had next to Vintage Rolex “Jubilee” from a comfort perspective. The on the fly micro-adjustment of the bracelet also beats the Rolex Glide Lock and Tudor T-Fit.
Then there is the dial. The dial beats the best dials from Grand Seiko!
I have been collecting watches since the mid-1980’s and the Perception is simply amazing and one of the best values out there. I would buy/collect other dial colors, even a basic dial variation. The Perception platform is fantastic.
Fantastic watch, packaging, execution, details are almost all immacuate. White rubber strap is also fantastic! The copper dial is magical in different lighting conditions. the way it reflects the light. Highly recommended Brand and product!
