Atelier Wen
Prosper Welcomes Atelier Wen: A Celebration of Chinese Craftsmanship
At Prosper, we have always been passionate about true craftsmanship, and our boutiques in Brussels are a testament to this dedication.
We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Atelier Wen, a brand that embodies our shared commitment to quality and horological savoir-faire.
This collaboration is not just about adding another brand to our collection; it’s about celebrating a brand that resonates with our philosophy of demystifying luxury.
What Makes Atelier Wen So Special
Atelier Wen is a harmonious blend of French vision and Chinese craftsmanship.
Founded by two close friends from France, Robin Tallendier and Wilfried Buiron, the brand is a testament to their shared passion for Chinese culture and horology.
Robin, with his extensive experience in the watch industry, including his tenure at the French Chamber of Watchmaking in Shanghai and Christie’s in London, brings a deep understanding of horological intricacies.
On the other hand, Wilfried, born in Hong Kong and a graduate from China’s top institutes, Peking University and Tsinghua University, bridges the gap between design and execution, ensuring that every timepiece is a reflection of Chinese soul and craftsmanship.
Together, they form the perfect duo, with Robin as the creative visionary and Wilfried as the executional maestro. Their combined efforts have given birth to a brand that pays tribute to Chinese craftsmanship in its purest form.
Every dial, meticulously handcrafted by Master Cheng, showcases the brand’s dedication to the age-old art of guilloché, a craft mastered by fewer than 30 artisans worldwide.
Atelier Wen’s designs are not just timepieces; they are stories of China’s rich cultural heritage, narrated through the hands of master craftsmen and the vision of its founders.
The Collection
The “Perception” stands out as Atelier Wen’s flagship model, a testament to the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and design.
Each Perception dial is a masterpiece, taking Master Cheng a staggering 8 hours to produce using a rose engine of his own design.
The hypnotic interplay of straight and curved lines in the fish scale pattern is a celebration of light and shadow, showcasing the brand’s mastery over the art of guilloché.
The Perception collection offers various models, including the PIAO, XIA, and YING, each with its distinct charm and character.
Place the dial under a magnifier
We invite you to visit our boutiques in Brussels and experience the magic of Atelier Wen firsthand.
Place the dial under a magnifier, and you’ll be mesmerized by the intricate details and the passion that goes into every timepiece.
At Prosper, we believe in celebrating brands that bring true craftsmanship to the forefront, and Atelier Wen is a shining example of this philosophy.
Join us in this journey of horological excellence and discover what makes Atelier Wen truly special.
Prosper is now Moritz Grossmann authorized dealer
PROSPER is proud to announce its new status as an authorized dealer of Moritz Grossmann. The presence Moritz Grossman enhances our curated collection of watch brands from the Glashütte region in Germany, standing alongside esteemed names such as Nomos and Glashütte Original.
Founded in 2008, the brand takes its name from a 19th-century master watchmaker, Moritz Grossmann. While the company’s current iteration is relatively young, it draws inspiration from Grossmann’s contributions to watchmaking and the legacy of Glashütte’s watchmaking traditions.
What makes Moritz Grossmann watches so unique?
The Design
Their watches strike a balance between traditional Glashütte watchmaking and contemporary aesthetics.
Glashütte signature
The watches proudly carry the traditions of Glashütte watchmaking, which includes three-quarter plates, screwed gold chatons, and hand-engraved balance cocks, among other features.
Craftsmanship
Each watch is meticulously crafted by hand. The brand takes immense pride in the manual production of their watches, ensuring precision and perfection in every piece.
Innovation
Moritz Grossmann is known for introducing innovative technical solutions in their watches. For example, they’ve incorporated unique mechanisms for setting the time and winding the watch.
Main collections
BENU
The BENU collection was one of the earliest offerings from Moritz Grossmann after its re-establishment.
Named after the ancient Egyptian deity associated with the Sun and rebirth, the collection signifies a new dawn or beginning for the company.
The design is clean, elegant, and embodies the brand’s ethos of simplicity combined with sophistication. Many models in this collection showcase the brand’s innovative technical features.
BENU is characterized by lancet-shaped hands, which are one of Moritz Grossmann’s signature features.
TEFNUT
The TEFNUT collection brings a more feminine touch to the Moritz Grossmann lineup, though not exclusively. Tefnut is another name borrowed from ancient Egyptian mythology, referring to the goddess of dew and rain.
TEFNUT watches usually have a slimmer profile and often incorporate more decorative elements than other collections. This includes intricate guilloché patterns on the dial, gem-set bezels, and unique hand shapes. The design retains the brand’s penchant for elegance and simplicity.
Like the BENU, TEFNUT watches often use manual wind movements, though designed to fit the distinct cases and design ethos of this line. The movements continue the brand’s tradition of high-quality craftsmanship and finish.

In the course of its history, Zenith has remained true to its mission. More than a century has passed since Zenith became dominated by the quest for precision.
A product of this perseverance is the El Primero movement. The latter is a high-frequency chronograph capable of mechanically measuring up to the 10th of a second.
When it was released in 1969, it was the very first automatic chronograph. However, the quartz crisis almost led to the disappearance of this movement.
One of the original watchmakers who worked on the El Primero (movement), Charles Vermot, has been responsible for its preservation.
When Zenith decided to discontinue the El Primero in the mid-1970s, Charles Vermot stored the plans and machinery in a hidden attic on the factory premises. Ten years later, it was this passionate act that helped relaunch the manufacture of this movement.
Rarely does a manufacturer use original parts to restore old models. Zenith is one of them. Passionate teams use the organization’s archive and component collections to accomplish this incredible feat.

What makes Omega so special
No other brand can match Omega’s innovation and longevity. The brand has been measuring the Olympics consistently since 1932, striving relentlessly for precision.
In 1959, Gerald Genta was commissioned by the brand to redesign its Constellations range.
In 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin rode the Speedmaster all the way to the moon.
What Omega watches delivered in this key moment proved their know-how and reliability.
At the dawn of the 21st century, George Daniels unveiled the co-axial escapement, a technology that limits friction and increases precision. A 20-year effort went into developing this innovation.
Today, Omega watches can be found on the wrists of stars like Rory Mcllroy and Daniel Craig.
