Atelier Wen

A gentleman's wristwatch of steel. Model Porcelain Odyssey, ref. ''Hao''. Mechanical movement with automatic winding, cal. Peacock SL-3006. White porcelain dial with blue hour markers and hands. Blue Atelier Wen calfskin strap with C-type buckle of steel. Watch diameter 39 mm. 2014.

Limited edition no. 127/250. Accompanied by original box, leather pouch and certificate from Atelier Wen 2014.

A noteworthy feature for this watch is the subdial. The character to the left is ''You'' (酉) and bottom right is ''Mao'' (卯), representing the hours from 5PM to 7PM and 5AM to 7AM respectively. This type of horology is a direct reference to an ancient measurement system called ''12 Earthly Branches'', in which each branch represents a two-hour period. Furthermore, the case-back is decorated with a Chinese animal of legend, Kunpeng, used as an allegory for the concept of Ying and Yang.

Condition

Minimal wear due to age and use. The watch works, but we do not guarantee for the functionality.
