Let’s talk about the ‘elephant’, or rather, the Bamboo, in the room🎋

You’ve been asking for a permanent green dial since 2022. We heard you, but we didn’t want to just ‘do green.’

Meet 筠 (Yún). A scholarly Bamboo Green dial, we’ve paired with a frosted case finish that feels like nothing else in our lineup.

19/05/2026

Since we first unveiled Perception in 2022, we showcased the artistry of Master Cheng Yucai’s hand-turned guilloché. It was a watch that challenged perceptions of what Chinese watchmaking could be.

We have spent the last two years listening, refining, and obsessing over how to elevate this collection. Today, we are proud to present Perception V3.

Every element has been refined to fulfill this vision. Alongside our first new core collection dial in four years: the bamboo green 筠 (Yún), we have elevated the case finishing and our patent-pending micro-adjustment system. Across the whole range, enhanced bracelet link tolerances create a more comfortable “drape,” held together by a beautifully decorated clasp featuring internal perlage. The crown is now slimmer and etched with Hui Wen (回纹) motifs.

The custom Pequignet Calibre EPM03 now has a 65-hour power reserve and runs with chronometer-grade accuracy. Not only is it technically brilliant, but also beautifully finished in a wind-inspired aventurine style. So proud are we of this new movement that it is on full display for our collectors to admire via a full exhibition caseback.

Perception V3 joins our permanent collection, but initial production is limited by the time required for Master Cheng Yucai to hand-turn each dial.

The first 300 orders are scheduled for dispatch in September 2026. 📦

Presenting Perception V3: a total evolution of our signature collection and the new standard for Atelier Wen.

While Perception has always been defined by its hand-crafted guilloché, V3 represents a complete technical refresh to bridge the gap between the artistry on the front and the soul within.

🌬️ The Soul: A bespoke Pequignet Calibre EPM03 featuring bridges filled with blue aventurine lacquer, shaped like traditional Chinese representations of wind.

🎋 The “Yun” (筠): A new scholarly Bamboo Green reference debuting a specialised micro-frosted finish on the case and bracelet, a first for our 904L steel platform.

✨ The Refinement: Enhanced, lapidary machine mirror polishing, providing sharper architectural angles, and a reimagined bracelet for superior flexibility.

Inflection’s convex and concave curvature accentuates not only the enigmatic blue-grey hues of tantalum, but also a hefty presence on the wrist.

The consequent drape of the bracelet translates to a highly comfortable experience on-wrist despite the material’s weight.

The Perception V2 Bracelet in Grade 5 Titanium - now available in limited quantities!

We’ve seen plenty of requests from those of you who bought our early collaborations to make the V2 version of the bracelet that came with our Millésime for 2024, Perception 睦 (Mù), available for purchase — and we’ve heard you!

Notable adjustments include:

- Finer, flatter brushing and sharper chamfers on all its links.
- A reduction in thickness from the V1 examples (previously a uniform 3.2mm) to a gradual thinning (from 3.0mm to 2.6mm) between case and clasp.
- A more pronounced taper in width, from 22mm at the case to 18mm (as opposed to 19mm) at the buckle.
- The inclusion of our patent-pending, on‑the‑fly micro‑adjustment mechanism and telescopic deployant clasp.

The bracelet remains fully compatible with all previous titanium versions of Perception.
