Reservoir creates the radical reading of time
for a maximum boldness
Retrograde Minute 
Jumping Hour 
Power Reserve 10 : 10
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.

WHAT THE PRESS SAYS ABOUT RESERVOIR
“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
“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
“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
“I think the Kanister is an absolutely true-hearted homage to what is surely one of the most desirable cars ever made. Surely, this is a must-have watch for those lucky enough to have a 356 Speedster in their garage.” Kenny Yeo – Journalist
“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 – Journaliste Horloger
“Nous avons très récemment appris la nomination de la marque de montres Reservoir et de son nouveau modèle Longbridge British Racing au Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) dans la catégorie “Challenge”. Le moment pour moi de vous raconter un peu l’histoire de Reservoir, mais surtout de réfléchir plus profondément au succès…”
“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, journaliste (Les Echos)
