The two things stopping me with this watch are the movement and the case back. Just have a nice clear sapphire on the back. And a much better movement that has modern features like hacking, a long power reserve, and anti-magnetic.
Though the color isn't for me, it's undeniably a beautiful designed bracelet, and the hand guilloche shows serious attention to detail on the dial. That said, a basic/subpar movement from a completely unknown brand makes slapping an above average price tag on their piece feel unattractive to me.
@@Cityadventurers Oh it's 100% a rip, but the VC design is what makes it beautiful LOL! Stealing an awesome design & building an almost perfect 1:1 knock off still takes skill 🤣
@@JMillz23lol yeah the type of skills required to find a factory in China that can rip off designs. Remember, Atelier Wen outsources 100% of the watch production. They have no skills whatsoever.
@@Cityadventurers my last comment was meant to be tongue in cheek & not to be taken so seriously (that's the point of "LOL", man) sheeesh.... Obvi they're not a brand to get any real respect & I'm honestly a surprised that Hafiz accepted the paid promo. More like this will dampen his credibility.
@@Cityadventurers You have zero clue, do you? If a company the size of Atelier Wen DIDN'T outsource so much of their production, a watch with a dial like that would cost way more than $4k.
Are you serious? It’s a sub $1,000 watch. The $50 Peacock movement doesn’t hack. Power reserve is only 41 hours. You’re effectively paying $3000 for a dial.
Brands do influencer/media marketing all the time. Let me tell you why you'll see so many unhappy, snobby folks down in the comments. This watch is Chinese made. That's it.
Beautifully shot but there’s no perfect watch and apparently there’s no perfectly done video of a watch 😂 I can’t believe you missed to show the special for this edition purple rotor in the movement.
Atelier Wen is acutely aware it can only charge $4000 if they build a brand because their watches are worth less than $1,000. The $50 Peacock movement doesn’t hack and the power reserve is only 41 hours. Even a $500 PRX has 80 hours of power reserve. So Atelier Wen knows it needs to sell emotions rather than horology if it’s to price it watches at such exorbitant prices. They are even buying likes and comments for their Facebook posts and deleted all the negative comments. They are obviously desperate to build a brand name.
Major brands have used cheap ETA movements on their multi-thousand dollar watches for ages, it is no surprise a much smaller brand does it too. The craftsmanship on this dial itself separates it from the crowd at the $4k price range.
@@Cityadventurers Just looking at the other side of the coin here; When I saw this video, it looked to me like like the case and bracelet finish were way above PRX level or any other other lower or mid tier timepiece. The bracelet is quick adjust. Custom caseback. And the dial, well, there's only 3 other watch companies off the top of my head making rose engine turned dials on the regular- RGM, Breguet and Chronoswiss, and as you know, none of those are priced cheap. The movement, well I know nothing about it. But you mentioned the 80 hour power reserve of the Powermatic. I wouldn't judge a movement good based on power reserve. I went off topic, but maybe I can see while this watch may not be a bargain, it's not the rip off ,either.
Not for me.. Also i presume this "review sample" does not need to be returned? So a sponsorsed ad for an exorbitantly priced 100% chinese dropshipped product?
Not for me either, doesn't suit my personality, but i appreciate the watch. Doesn't matter to me if this is sponsered- pretty sure this will be sold out with or without help from Hafiz.
@@Pler1978Atelier Wen is doing the usual. Sending their watches to RUclipsrs to drum up publicity.

This is not a dropshipped product...Atelier Wen has literally been around for solid amount of time in the microbrand space. Do yall even do your research before posting crap like this?
I don’t get this brand-it’s a stunning dial with a beautiful case, with a subpar movement. Maybe for those into fashion watches and not horological value!
You got no business talking about horological value if you think having a dial like that, manufactured how they do it, and say it's for those into fashion watches.
99% of watches do not have horological value in the movement. For example, VC fiftysix does not have in-house movement, instead it is a simple ValFleurier (part of the Richmond group) with just 48h power reserve. Horological value? Nil. Price of the watch? £15k on a sub-par bracelet. It is all smoke and mirrors from all brands, albeit I would not buy a £3.5k Chinese watch either regardless of the horological value or looks, simply because luxury watches are mostly about the brand and perception.
I haven't been paying much attention to the negative reviews on Atelier Wen. After I got mine, I pretty much stopped looking at reviews. What were some of the things other people were saying?

For 3000us per watch I expect perfect finishing. Which is clearly not the case when you look at the dial and index. It's misaligned or misinserted into the dial. There is a clearly visible margin ruclips.net/video/d2IbXoVzekk/видео.html

Even as a Swiss guy I have to admit that this is a stunning watch 😳
Stunning! 💜 Awesome video on the Perception.
If only more Chinese watch brands put this level of effort into watch making. We would all forget the counterfeit watches in no time.

Great video, thank you Hafiz 🙂👍. Though not right for me personally, I can definitely appreciate it's beauty 👍👍👍.
Love MAMACOO watch， Such a great looking watch to match with the precisionist movement.
Amazing filmography bro!!!!!

More often than not … Swiss made = components are made in China
Subbed! We at Harris watches are also just starting. We are different though, one needs some humor to come up with an idea like we did. Regards.
not bad, but I would never pay such amount for a Chinese watch, I actually bought a watch that expensive only once, my anOrdain model 1 in plume fume.
Just cause it's chinese? All the work they did to craft the dial doesn't matter eh?
