“Although Watches and Wonders 2022 dominated the news cycle for the last few weeks, it wasn’t the only show in town, literally. Alongside the massive trade show was Time to Watches, an event of 30-something brands that took place at HEAD Genève, an art and design school. Though smaller in scale, it was no less excellent to attend, featuring brands that are amongst some of our favorites from Sinn to Louis Erard to Nivada Grenchen. Unlike the glamorous booths at the Palexpo, this was a more intimate setting. Just watches, representatives from the brands, which was more often or not an owner or founder, a table, and you. We spent the better part of a day there, meeting and talking with brands, looking at cool stuff.”

“One of the key concepts behind Reservoir is that, despite the seriousness of the manufacturing and of the mechanics, these watches don’t have to be taken too seriously. They bring something fun and cool, something different and animated that attracts those who are a bit bored with the classic motion of the hands revolving around the dial.”

“As a brand, Reservoir is interesting because many of its watches are inspired by the dials or meters of other objects, like cars and measuring instruments. Such is the case with the brand’s latest, the Sonomaster Chronograph. For our audiophile friends, the source of inspiration should be obvious. The Sonomaster Chronograph takes its cues from the VU meters of vintage hi-fi amplifiers.”

“Introducing The New Reservoir Kanister Silver Revs up the Style. The RPM counter of the mythical Porsche 356 Speedster in wrist format animated by jumping hours, retrograde minutes and a power gauge.”

“Why The 2022 Watches And Wonders Geneva Might Be The Last Of Its Kind”

“The watch world is full of innovation and wonder — new materials, complications and concepts. It’s rare that you see something genuinely novel in the hardy, underwater realm of dive watches. Which is what makes Reservoir’s Hydrosphere — a retrograde diver, such a welcome breath of fresh air. Add in bronze and golden tones and that fresh air takes on a distinctly tropical flavour.”

“Reservoir has dropped the first in a series of watches celebrating veteran comic book heroes Blake & Mortimer.”
