Hands-on – Reservoir Supercharged Sport Red Zone II

One of the cool brands to have emerged recently from the “independent scene”, Reservoir stands out with its original way to display time. Created by François Moreau, the brand made its debut at Baselworld 2017. His inspiration was fueled by his passion for all things mechanical, and in particular, yesteryear measuring instruments mounted on dashboards or in cockpits: pressure gauges, speedometers, manometers, rev counters… which inspired an original time display. Let’s have a look at the Reservoir Supercharged Sport Red Zone II.

Introducing – MeisterSinger Lunascope “Golden Moon” Edition

Back in 2018, during the Basel watch fair, MeisterSinger launched its first “astronomical” watch, the Lunascope. On top of the signature single-hand display, the brand elegantly added a moon phase complication, benefiting from the available space left on the dial by this minimalistic display to oversize the moon. After two inaugural models, the MeisterSinger Lunascope comes […]

Introducing – MB&F HM7 Aquapod now In Platinum and Red Sapphire

When presented back in 2017, the MB&F HM7 Aquapod was a proper surprise… Like a shock, really. This watch, a jellyfish-inspired timepiece, with a diving bezel, a vertical movement with tourbillon, a decent water resistance and an organic design, looked like nothing else on the market. Bold, weird, spectacular, artistic, ugly… I’ve rarely experienced a watch […]

Introducing – HYT’s New Skull Watch, the H0 Soonow

If watches tick discrete seconds, time is continuous. It flows. Literally. Reading time on an HYT watch is an original experience. Its watches propose an artistic, symbolic and somehow natural representation of the relentless nature of time. Death and the image of the skull are, in this context, not just a gimmick. It makes sense […]

Hands-on – The Redesigned MeisterSinger Pangaea Day-Date

MeisterSinger stands out from the crowded watch scene with its unique identity. Before the invention of the minute hand, early mechanical clocks showed only hours… And just like these, the German brand produces single-hand mechanical timepieces. The latest watch in the collection sticks to this “mono-aiguille” display and adds some useful calendar indications. Meet the […]

Introducing – HYT H0 Khaki Red Fluid & Black Fluid

With HYT, the passage of time is interpreted in a different way from the usual convention of hands running over a dial. Back in 2012, HYT invented a display based on fluids to indicate both the time that has passed and the time to come. Inspired by ancient water clocks, the look of the watches […]

Introducing – Ressence Type 1 ZZ – A Furtive Collaboration with Chronopassion

The Ressence Type 1 was introduced in 2014 and has never ceased to evolve. Multiple colours, different materials, even a square version of the crownless case, but always the same unique display positioning itself as the ‘Air-Filled’ collection (contrasting with the oil-filled watches). Earlier this year, the brand introduced a major update with the new […]

Value Proposition – Inspired by a Sundial… Solar Lab Co. Umbra now on Kickstarter

Umbra is Latin for “shadow” and, of course, a direct reference to the source of inspiration of this watch. Unlike the original Gnomon (the brand’s first project), which had a single hand conventionally rotate around the dial, the Umbra has a static hand with a rotating time disc, more reminiscent of an actual sundial. The […]
