“The overlap between cars and watches is well-trodden territory – the synergies between speed, mechanics, and timekeeping are rich ground for marketers. Parisian watchmaker Reservoir is staking its claim in the automotive/watch world symbiosis by focusing on cars’ measuring instruments – speedometers, rev counters, fuel gauges, and the like. (…) Reservoir’s latest watch is the Kanister, a new collection inspired by the speedometer of the 1950s Porsche 356 Speedster, a super collectible car that’s the precursor to the iconic 911.”
“François Moreau has always had a fascination with gauges. Something that becomes abundantly clear at our first meeting in Mexico City during the 2019 SIAR — an event that now seems like it took place a lifetime ago considering the seismic changes of the last year. Immediately, we began to discuss the beautiful pragmatism of gauges like the Smith speedometer and tachymeter mounted to my 1972 Norton Commando as well as the VDO gauges that had presided over the stripped-out Spartan cabin of my 1979 Porsche 930 Turbo, a car that used to try to kill me on a daily basis as a young man living in Los Angeles.”
“Dévoilée à Baselworld 2019, la RESERVOIR Hydrosphere est l’une des plus innovantes, esthétiquement parlant, des montres de plongée du XXIème siècle. Elle revient en une version aux tonalités chaudes.”
“L’Hydrosphère, présentée à Baselworld 2019, est cruciale pour Reservoir car elle démontre sa capacité à innover tout en conservant ses caractéristiques distinctives. Inspirée par les instruments de mesure des voitures, de l’aviation et des sous-marins, Reservoir maintient une collection cohérente basée sur l’affichage des heures sautantes et des minutes rétrogrades. L’Hydrosphère se distingue comme la première montre de plongée à utiliser une aiguille des minutes rétrograde. Elle dispose d’un boîtier de 45 mm, d’une lunette en céramique à double graduation, et d’un indicateur de réserve de marche. Alimentée par le calibre ETA2824-2 et un module développé par Telos Watch, elle offre 37 heures de réserve de marche. La version standard en acier est livrée avec des bracelets en acier et en caoutchouc, tandis que la version limitée Hydrosphère Bronze x Revolution “The Maldives Edition” se distingue par un boîtier en bronze et un bracelet NATO, disponible en 100 exemplaires au prix de 4.350 euros.”
