The Maison Horlogère RESERVOIR is proud to announce its partnership with the IDEC SPORT racing team as the official watchmaker for the 2020 season and during its participation in the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans 2020, which will take place on the 19th and 20th September 2020.

This French collaboration is the result of meetings between men driven by a taste for entrepreneurship and surpassing oneself. Three values ​​illustrate this: bold to be entrepreneur in their respective businesses such as watchmaking or real estate, the determination to succeed at an international level, the authenticity of the passionate men who make up their teams.

Patrice LAFARGUE, Founder and CEO of the IDEC group: “We are delighted with this new adventure with RESERVOIR and the IDEC SPORT team. The values ​​conveyed by the brand correspond well to those of IDEC SPORT and our common passion for motorsport”.

François MOREAU, Founder and CEO of RESERVOIR: “I am particularly proud to see RESERVOIR become the watchmaking partner of the formidable IDEC SPORT team whose teams carry values ​​very similar to ours: bold, authenticity, determination, taste for performance and overtaking. We also share a deep passion for motorsport, and I am therefore very happy to develop this collaboration with the IDEC group”.

To celebrate this partnership, RESERVOIR will unveil at the beginning of September 2020 a new model from the GT Tour collection, in a limited edition of 24 numbered pieces “IDEC SPORT Edition 2020”. Each timepiece is certified to have been on-board in the IDEC Sport car as part of the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Each case will thus have experienced the race in a unique way, symbolizing the determination and daring of IDEC SPORT teams like that of RESERVOIR, to compete during this legendary race.

The 24 customers who will take possession of their watches from October 2020 will receive an exceptional invitation to attend the 24 Heures du Mans, 2021 edition, and meet the IDEC SPORT team in action in the paddocks, as well as an exclusive meeting with RESERVOIR’s entrepreneurial team.

About the IDEC Group

IDEC SPORT is the sports branch of the IDEC Group, which brings together all the partnerships under a single banner. If Patrice LAFARGUE (President of the IDEC Group and of IDEC SPORT) has a real passion for motorsport, his competitive spirit has led him to invest in several sports, whether in football, Rugby or even Basketball. But the two most important are sailing and the automobile.

Sailing with the navigator Francis Joyon, a story that has lasted for more than 18 years. This partnership, which has turned into a deep friendship, is covered with success since the current maxi-trimaran IDEC SPORT is the holder of the Jules Verne Trophy (crewed round-the-world tour in 2017 in 40 days, 23 hours and 30 minutes ) and won the Route du Rhum 2018 after an incredible duel with François Gabart.

It was in 2015 that Patrice Lafargue, passionate about motorsport, decided to create the IDEC SPORT team. An adventure also crowned with several successes and which confirms the level of performance of which the whole team is capable. Engaged for several years on the ELMS circuit and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Team IDEC SPORT in 2019 won the title of European champions thanks to two victories and four podiums.
