A radical way to read time

For a maximum boldness

How to read time ?

The retrograde minute and the jumping hour act as substitutes for the more usual three hands on Swiss watches. RESERVOIR watches are innovative for the radical way the time is displayed, which is achieved by drawing on two watchmaking complications combined with the power reserve. The retrograde minute at 240° recalls the R.P.M. counters, the manometers, and the depth gauges. The jumping hour recalls the mileage meters, and the power reserve display echoes the fuel and oil gauges.

“With its Kanister timepiece, the watchmaker takes its cues from the speedometer of the 356 Speedster sports car. But rather than merely drawing inspiration, it instead took the opportunity to completely rethink the traditional way of telling time.”

Eleanor Pryor – March 17th 2022

Media: Luxury RESERVOIR watch in dark navy, light grey, and light blue-grey.

“In an era when all the rage is about vintage-inspired race cars and the reiteration of life’s classics, French watch brand Reservoir, which offers Swiss-made watches, deftly reinterprets vintage auto gauges of all sorts for spectacular results on the wrist.”

Roberta Naas – January 12, 2022

Luxury black and grey RESERVOIR watch editorial media.

“The latest model from its collection devoted to cars is a silver version of the Kanister inspired by the RPM or tachometer counter (…) Fitted with a new Swiss-made engine to keep the three complications in sync, the Reservoir Kanister Silver offers a lot more than an automobile-inspired watch.”

Rebecca Doulton – March 14th 2022

“The Kanister 316 variant takes on a new look with its brushed steel case mounted on a vintage five-link bracelet. The combination of modernity and the retro aspect creates an obvious harmony.”

Serge Maillard – Editor in chief

“I’m not gonna lie; Reservoir was not on my radar too much before its GT Tour Blue Edition landed on my table. Actually, it landed in front of my door for six hours before I could arrive home to pick it up (thank you, DHL), but that’s another story. Not checking this brand out sooner was a grave mistake because this watch is nice. Like, very nice.”

Balazs Ferenczi – Editor

“I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the Reservoir Hydrosphere “Air Gauge”. Certainly, it won’t talk to the masses and is a niche product. Still, it is a unique and mechanically advanced display, the original design (without being too extreme), the cleverness of the bezel (even though unconventional), the cool features (the manometer inspiration, the full luminous dial) and the overall quality of the execution have convinced me.”

Brice Goulard – August 30, 2019

Media of luxury RESERVOIR watch in jet, charcoal black shades.

“Vintage cars and watches share a similar appeal, they speak to a lifestyle of adventure, freedom and the joy of the open road. Reservoir’s creations tap into this dream, with nods to some of the most iconic motors of past and the legendary racers at their wheel.”

Eleanor Pryor – Editor

“It’s no secret watches do more than just tell time. The new Reservoir Kanister Silver is a good example: It puts you in the driver’s seat every time you glance at it.”

Michael Charboneau – Associate Editor

Media editorial of luxury RESERVOIR watch in Jet black, light grey and medium grey.

“On the wrist, the Kanister is a real looker, thanks to that super graphic dial – and nicely matched polished titanium – all rounded out by the cool retro styling.”

Ming Liu – Journalist

“The diversity of products means Reservoir isn’t just for aero fans or battleship enthusiasts. It’s for anybody who appreciates beautiful, analog instrumentation.”

Stephen Hale Watson – Journalist

Media of a black RESERVOIR watch with very light and black grey details, an editorial luxury item.

“French watchmaker RESERVOIR’s game-changing take on telling time enters a new era. Its Swiss Made watches — that read more like dynamic instrumentation than fussy horology — are perfectly engineered for fans of vintage speedsters.”

Mike Espindle – Journalist

“The Reservoir Black Sparrow series represents a unique twist on a classic appearance, and despite the fact that it offers many of the same hallmark features that define other aviation-themed models, the brand’s unique jumping hour and retrograde minutes display enables the new collection to still feel unique and special.”

Ripley Sellers – Associate Editor

“Maison beaucoup plus récente – elle a été créée en 2017 –, Reservoir se veut depuis l’origine fidèle à un affichage rétrograde des minutes, combiné à une heure sautante.”

C. L. – 05 juin 2023

“Directement inspiré des manomètres de pression d’air de plongée sous-marine, l’Hydrosphère bouleverse les codes des montres de plongée avec une seule aiguille sur le cadran, pour une lecture radicale de l’heure.”

Thu-Huyen Hoang – 6 juillet 2022

“Si les montres Reservoir se veulent un hommage à l’âge d’or des courses automobiles, elles s’associent également à l’univers du sport automobile contemporain, dont les technologies de pointe sont en constante évolution.”

Constantin Pârvulescu – 24 mai 2023

“Depuis fin 2022, elle va plus loin en réinterprétant le chronographe qui passe des compteurs bicompax à des ouvertures latérales qui calcule le passage des secondes et affiche la date de manière rétrograde, s’inspirant des VU mètres d’amplificateur.”

Montres-de-luxe.com – 13 janvier 2023

“La montre Kanister est cataloguée “montre ancienne” par l’horloger suisse. Elle a certes reçu une récompense en 2022 (Red Dot for Product Design), mais elle rend bel et bien hommage aux années 50.”

Jérémy Patrelle – 9 octobre 2023

Luxury Media RESERVOIR watch editorial with jet black, light beige, and medium grey colors.

“Spécialisée dans les montres mono aiguille à heure sautante inspirées des compteurs en tous genres, RESERVOIR nous livre la Kanister : un modèle au design inspiré d’un compte-tours de 356 Speedster.”

Pierre Gisclard – 23 février 2022

Media of luxurious dark navy RESERVOIR watch with light grey and light grey-blue accents.

“Reservoir est connue pour l’esthétique particulière de ses montres et pour sa réputation en termes de complications. Son identité se résume dans une lecture totalement différente de l’heure grâce à l’usage de trois complications: une minute rétrograde, une heure sautante et une réserve de marche. Un vrai et solide contenu horloger. Sur le modèle Popeye, le cadran présente une configuration rétrograde à 240 °, avec les minutes affichées sur les trois quarts de la surface et les heures de fonctionnement indiquées de manière évidente via une lunette à 6 heures, aux pieds du héros …”

Marine Ulrich

“Déjà spectaculaire en version acier grâce à son mode d’affichage caractéristique, à savoir heure sautante, minute rétrograde et indication linéaire de réserve de marche, l’Hydrosphère n’attendait plus qu’une déclinaison en bronze pour gagner de nouveaux galons.”

Hervé Gallet – 12 juin 2020

Media editorial featuring a RESERVOIR watch with a luxury design in navy blue, light sky blue and light blue-grey.

“Reservoir: addicts au D-Day. La jeune marque franco-suisse rend un hommage horloger à l’une des stars immortelles du débarquement de Normandie: la jeep.”

Judikael Hirel – 20 février 2020

Media of a RESERVOIR watch in luxury editorial - dark brown, bright red, and very dark red.

“Comment se faire une place sur un marché où les acteurs de poids ne manquent pas ? En cassant une partie des codes. C’est ce que réalise la jeune griffe de montres Reservoir depuis son lancement en 2017.”

Clotilde Briard – 6 février 2019
