I love 'em, and I hope they come stateside. Thanks for sharing!
The initial offerings appealed to me last year, and these models that you've shared indicate the design work remains "on-track" (pardon the pun). Dial colors, details, and texturing appear to be a highlight of the range, and I appreciate the use of several varieties of green (we really need more green watches). That final photo zings me!
I'm impressed to learn that Télôs did the work on the module, and that lays to rest my only question about who was behind the original watchmaking beyond the base caliber. The dial flourishes from the autos might be a bit gratuitous, but I'm not set against them. Sometimes, as with Giuliano Mazzuoli, it pays to just translate the source material undiluted when you're an offbeat independent. Most major brands wouldn't risk this, but I think it works well from a niche manufacturer.
Best,
Tim
Reservoir: the Longbridge collection
Step by step, the young French brand Reservoir manages to impose its singularity on the watchmaking landscape. Its visibility grows, its distribution network expands and above all, its collection becomes larger as evidenced by the presentation of the Long...
I can share almost all your assessments, FX...
I like the design and the execution as well. As you noted, the module is well constructed, with precisely simultaneous action of the retrograde minute and the jumping hours. Setting the watch reveals that much thought has been invested into the tactile qu...

Thanks FX for the review.... but...
What are 'Beams' and 'Engine' for on the dial? Do they have any purpose other than to draw the eye... I don't get it? Other than that, I think it looks like a cracking watch at a good price point. Cheers Andrew
Quite appealing
at an attractive price level. IMO less would have been more - for example it would have been much better to omit „Engine“ and „Beams“ on the dial. Best, Thomas
Well FX, Once Again...
... You have identified yet another timepiece I think I must have. Thanks for sharing this exciting newish brand.
Absolutely crazy....
Creating a watch that is named after a dull car factory in England. What’s next the Ford “Valencia”Factory Watch or the Lada “Togliatti” factory watch collection. The word scrap comes to mind, or is that one letter to many.
