Press Review
“Cartoon or comic book characters are serious business these days in watchmaking. And if you’re thinking that it’s only inexpensive brands recurring to cartoon characters to enliven their dials, we invite you to take a look at how some of the most revered names in watchmaking have incorporated iconic figures from popular culture on the dials of their watches. Reservoir Watches, a Parisian-based brand noted for its retrograde and jumping hour displays, jumped on the comic book character bandwagon last year with its Blake & Mortimer “By Jove!!!” edition. For round two, Popeye the Sailor Man animates the dial of this two-way Reservoir and LabelNoir collaboration.”
« Sept montres qui jouent avec les grands mythes de nos cultures populaires (…) « I yam whats I yam and dats all whats I am » (« Je suis ce que je suis et c’est tout ce que je suis ») et c’est Popeye le marin qui le dit ! La dernière collaboration humoristique de l’horloger franco-suisse Reservoir donne naissance à la Reservoir x LabelNoir x Popeye. Produite en collaboration entre Reservoir et LabelNoir et mettant en vedette le célèbre personnage de dessin animé Popeye, cette nouvelle édition limitée place une icône vintage au poignet de manière élégante. »
“Franco-Swiss watchmaker Reservoir is delighted to introduce its latest comic-driven timepiece produced in collaboration with horological customisation house, LabelNoir.”
“With a name like Sonomaster Black Thunder, it feels only appropriate that I give you a few moments to go and put on some AC/DC before you continue reading. With the music and atmosphere set, let’s get into it. This is the latest version of Reservoir’s bi-retrograde chronograph, inspired by the instrument panels on vintage VU meters from analogue stereo amplifiers.”
“For any Generation X audiophile, a VU meter was a must-have when it came to home Hifi. The slim needle on these analogue ‘Volume Unit’ meters would flick across the dial in relation to the music, and now the classic gauge style has been reproduced in the Reservoir Sonomaster Chronograph. (…) Inspired by the likes of the legendary LuxmanM10 Mk II power amplifier, the Sonomaster Chronograph is one of the most evocative, nostalgia-inspired timepieces on the market.”
