“Our Predictions In The Diver’s Category Of The 2021 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG): Some Underwater Consensus”
Press Review
“Swiss-made and based in Paris, Reservoir specializes in technically sophisticated watches that echo the courage and performance of past eras. Their designs draw inspiration from vintage motoring and military aviation instruments. Unique features include a single-hand display that jumps back every 60 minutes, replacing the conventional three-hand arrangement typical of Swiss watches. The retrograde minute and jumping hour hand evoke the precision of rev counters and kilometre counters, while the power reserve mimics fuel gauges. The Kanister model, inspired by the 1950s Porsche 356 Speedster’s speedometer, features pastel green indices on a black dial set in a light, polished grade 5 titanium case with a leather strap reminiscent of the car’s bucket seats. This piece captures the spirit of a freewheeling, innovative decade.”
“French watchmaker Reservoir categorizes its watches into marine, aeronautics, and car themes, drawing inspiration from the dials and gauges found in various vehicles and equipment. All watches share a design featuring a retrograde minute hand sweeping across the top two-thirds of the dial and a jumping hour at 6 o’clock, with some models including a power reserve indicator below the hour. Reservoir’s recent addition include the Blake and Mortimer watch, influenced by 1940s comic book heroes, featuring a unique design where Mortimer’s arm serves as the retrograde minute hand. “
“Cars and watches go extremely well together. The RESERVOIR Kanister collection continues this tradition and takes inspiration from the legendary Porsche 356 Speedster car speedometer.”
“Chez RESERVOIR, on cultive la différence avec passion. En voici une nouvelle et réjouissante preuve avec cette montre à complication très réussie figurant les héros de la BD Blake et Mortimer.”
“Avec la nouvelle Kanister et son cadran décoré comme un compteur de Porsche Speedster 356, la maison française Reservoir affirme plus que jamais la passion pour l’univers automobile qui l’inspire jusqu’au cœur de ses mouvements.”
“Aujourd’hui, tous les passionnés de montres connaissent la vente de charité biennale Only Watch, créée et organisée par Luc Pettavino pour lutter contre les myopathies et en particulier celle de Duchenne. Cette année, pour sa 9ème édition, 54 marques ont répondu positivement à l’appel de cette association dont la première édition de la vente a eu lieu en 2005.”
