Robin Tallendier, Atelier Wen co-founder on the future of Chinese watchmaking

In the second instalment of the Hong Kong Horology Forum files, Felix chats with Atelier Wen co-founder Robin Tallendier about the rich history of Chinese watchmaking and what the future of the industry in China looks like. From the sheer number of watchmaking students attending Chinese schools and the depth of artisanal crafts in the country, Tallendier hopes that within a generation, Chinese watchmaking will be far more respected and recognised. On top of that, Andy and Felix chatted about some of their favourite releases this year and dived into the details of Grand Seiko's design.
