Reservoir - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

I was looking for a watch with a different complication, and I came across this Supercharged tank. The dial is beautiful, and reading the time is super easy. The show of the jumping hour and retrograde minutes is a real spectacle that I regret having missed once the hour has elapsed, the fuel gauge-style power reserve completes this muscle car dial/counter! Despite its 43 mm diameter, it fits rather well on my 16.5 cm chicken wrist. The watch is really well finished, and the Lajoux Perret movement is very precise. The leather strap is very well made. An atypical watch but easy to wear on a daily basis, it arouses the interest of enthusiasts. In short, a very beautiful watch!

What attracted me to this watch was this other way of reading the time. Its dial is inspired by submarine instrumentation, such as a depth gauge here. I don't really like "single-hand" watches like the MeisterSinger, but this one is something else, another universe. Above all, there is this "lightning" hour hand where the hour change and the return of the minute hand are instantaneous. This watch has several complications: a jumping hour, retrograde minute and a power reserve indicator. It also has a transparent back and a very well-made leather strap. For your information, this model is a limited edition of 250 pieces. And with this sick face (black and yellow), it matches really well. RESERVOIR is a very young French brand (but Swiss made) that makes superb, very original watches like the SONOMASTER (uses the VU-meters of old amps) or the POPEYE (with its articulated arm). I love this brand and I love this watch.
