RESERVOIR x TELOS WATCH EDITION ONLY WATCH 2023 TIEFENMESSER TOURBILLON
The Tiefenmesser Tourbillon is a new Reservoir x Télôs watch co-creation: this unique crafted piece is unveiled exclusively for the 10th Edition of Only Watch, combining creative vintage display - 240° retrograde minute and jumping hour - with renowned high-watchmaking savoir-faire from Switzerland."
Description
Reservoir proudly presents its very first in-house Tourbillon in collaboration with Télôs watch: a major technical step change for the emerging and independent brand, achieved with the collaboration of the renowned movement manufacturer from La Chaux-de-Fonds, RESERVOIR’s strategic partner since its earliest days. The unique crafted piece takes inspiration from the nautical measuring instruments of the last century, with a typical display like the depth gauge aboard submarines. Encapsulated in a bronze case, it displays a regulator-type enamel “Grand Feu” dial, a blue hand for the retrograde minutes at 240° and jumping hours – last both being the brand’s aesthetic signature.
The unique Swiss made watchmaking savoir-faire of Télôs watch is demonstrated by the imposing presence of a tourbillon at 6 o’clock featuring 437-pieces and 46-stones. Clocked at 4Hz and powered by a double barrel, it offers a 60-hours power reserve. The case back reveals an exclusive oscillating weight engraved with indications found on “chadburns” from old submarines.
