Reservoir
Reservoir Watches — Duty-Free in St. Maarten
Little Europe Jewellers is an authorized Reservoir dealer in Philipsburg, St. Maarten. Every Reservoir we sell is brand-new, 100% authentic, covered by the official Reservoir international warranty, and priced duty-free and tax-free — among the most competitive prices anywhere — with free insured shipping worldwide, including to Mexico.
Instruments for the wrist
Founded in France in 2015 by François Moreau, Reservoir turns the dials of vintage measuring instruments — tachometers, pressure gauges, aircraft altimeters and hi-fi VU meters — into Swiss-made mechanical watches. Every Reservoir reads like an instrument panel: a jumping hour in an aperture at 6 o'clock, a single retrograde minute hand that sweeps a 240° arc and snaps back, and a fuel-gauge power-reserve indicator. It is one of the most instantly recognisable displays in modern watchmaking — and a natural fit for an island of sailors, divers and motoring enthusiasts.
Why a Reservoir is different
- One patented display — jumping hour, 240° retrograde minute and fuel-gauge power reserve, built as a proprietary module on a Swiss automatic base.
- A story on every dial — each collection is drawn from a real golden-age machine: a racing dashboard, a fighter-plane cockpit, a submarine depth gauge, a hi-fi amplifier.
- Serious cases — 39–43 mm in 316L steel, feather-light grade-5 titanium or patina bronze, with sapphire crystals front and back.
- Collectible editions — numbered and themed pieces such as the 390 Fastback x HEROES (limited to 66) and the Comics by Reservoir Popeye family.
