Reservoir announces the Mark II, an amazing redesign for it's flagship watch

There are watches you notice, then there are watches you recognize. The difference is shape. Not the dial, not the movement, but the outline that hits your eye before anything else.

Reservoir has spent years building its name on instrument-style displays. The dial always did the talking. The rest of the watch was fairly standard. With the $7,500 Mark II, that balance changes.

A shift away from the dial-first idea

Reservoir Mark II is the first time the brand treats the entire watch as a holistic piece. Not just the display, but the case, the bracelet, the way it sits on the wrist.

Before this, Reservoir cases felt like frames. You looked through them at the dial. Now the case steps forward. It has weight, presence. You notice it before you read the time. Next, the company split the design language into three distinct targets.
