The unique RESERVOIR Kanister Palladium watch takes its inspiration from the speedometer of the iconic 356-Speedster, combining a breath-taking design to the spirit of freedom which embedded the 1950s decade. Combining the design from this newest Kanister collection and the famous Palladium case of the RESERVOIR Longbridge collection, this unique watch is the symbol of determination in offering fresh view on high-end watchmaking, using our patented proprietary module of complications: jumping hour, retrograde minute and power reserve.
This unique piece has been personalised with ONLYWATCH 2021 color codes which were painted manually on the dial and developed within a set of 3 leather straps inspired by car seats from this era. The watch has then been assembled and checked by our qualified and renowned watchmakers Telos in La-Chaux-de-Fonds. This is the one we have chosen to join this generous collective effort for research against muscular dystrophies.
