RESERVOIR DONATES HYDROSPHERE BRONZE PROTO

RESERVOIR is proud to donates a Hydrosphere Bronze proto to REVOLUTION x THE RAKE Covid-19 solidarity auction. Taking its inspiration from the functionality and the aesthetic appeal of vintage measuring instruments, RESERVOIR is meant to be the reflection of eras full of cult objects, eras in which precision instruments were at the service of mankind. From automobile races with old cars to military aviation or the universe of submarines and diving, measuring instruments are a source of inspiration both inexhaustible and powerful.

For this occasion, RESERVOIR has chosen to donate a Hydrosphere Bronze prototype and an original print produced by its official illustrator Alain BOULDOUYRE.

HYDROSPHERE, AN INNOVATIVE DIVING INSTRUMENT

Imminent submersion in the Maldives waters. The pressure builds. Desire for exploration and challenge infuse the senses and the mind. Stay concentrated in the time to check the equipment: tanks, oxygen, pressure regulator, stabilizer… Clamped to the wrist, Hydrosphere, a watch resembling Scuba diving pressure gauges, the first survival instruments for divers.

Having a unidirectional, rotating bezel with a double scale, helium valve and power indicator, RESERVOIR’s Hydrosphere Bronze asserts its uniqueness with a single needle on the dial. Upending the aesthetics of vintage diving watches, it possesses the mainstays of a successful dive: security, functionality, confidence itself and its equipment. RESERVOIR is a Maison Horlogère Française inspired by Vintage instruments with Swiss Made collection.
