Atelier Wen Perception Xuán — Dialed in or Stoned Cold?! - Worth The Hype?! Episode #38
My Watches PodcastShow Notes
The Atelier Wen Perception Xuán is a limited-edition take on the brand’s integrated-bracelet sports watch, housed in a 40 mm × 9.4 mm 904L stainless steel case with 100 m water resistance. Unlike the previous version which uses a hand guilloché dial, this version now uses a natural pietersite stone dial with a unique, organic look that varies from piece to piece.
It is powered by a customized Dandong Peacock SL1588A automatic movement, the watch also sports an integrated steel bracelet with quick-release and on-the-fly micro-adjustment clasp for comfort. At the back it has a semi-display caseback with a hammered texture and raised stone-lion motif.
