Atelier Wen Porcelain Odyssey Hao Watch Review
Atelier Wen is (comparatively speaking) a higher-end “proudly made in China” watch company, and I find myself really liking its debut model. The brand’s first product collection is the Porcelain Odyssey, and it comes in two flavors: this white porcelain-dialed Hao and its blue-dial relative, the Ji. Proudly Chinese-made watches (outside of China) are actually something new. Even though many luxury watches (“Swiss” ones included) have been produced by Chinese factories for years, the concept of a home-grown Chinese watch, complete with local flavors and consumers in mind, is a relatively modern development. For the most part, Chinese watches did their best to look like non-Chinese watches.I predicted the now steady wave of “proudly made in China” watches about seven years ago after my first trip to the Hong Kong Watch & Clock fair. At the time, I noticed watchmakers in China starting to embrace local culture, aesthetics, and style in watches
Parmigiani Ovale Tourbillon Watch Hands-On
The aptly named Parmigiani Ovale Tourbillon is named as such because of the interesting oval-shaped case of the Ovale timepiece family. This style came out for Parmigiani about 1-2 years ago and looks remarkably better on the wrist than one might expect, given the unorthodox shape of the case. In addition to being a pretty decent tourbillon-based timepiece, I think something like the Parmigiani Ovale Tourbillon is good foundation on which to talk about the pros and cons of non-round case shapes.The safest shape to use when producing a wrist watch is a simple round case. In the emerging smartwatch world, it has been interesting to see how well received smartwatches with round cases have been. Products like the Moto 360 have a round-shaped case which actually offers diminished screen functionality despite being more physically attractive than square or rectangular-shaped cases. So I think it is safe to say that the watch world experiences a distinct pro round case bias.
