A harmonious blend of French craftsmanship and Oriental aesthetics, this timepiece presents a captivating spectacle. It showcases a rare and exquisite miniature painting, illuminated by the ethereal glow of Superluminova. Its integration into a dial featuring both jumping hours and retrograde minutes is a testament to the artist and watchmaker’s exceptional skill and daring innovation, an ingenious challenge to the boundaries of horological artistry.
Renowned artist Philippe Jacquin-Ravot brings charm and vitality to the present piece-unique, “The Panda Edition”. The dial captivates with the artist’s masterful brushwork depicting a hand-painted panda within a lush bamboo forest, while RESERVOIR’s signature retrograde minute arc and jumping hour add technical intrigue. Featuring a unique hand in the shape of a bamboo branch held by the panda that sweeps across a 240° arc, the dial comes to life with each passing minute. Powered by a new in-house cal. RSV-240 with 56 hours of power reserve, collectors will be delighted to know that the panda is painted with Superluminova and will completely light up in the dark. The polished titanium case provides a modern yet understated frame for the panda’s innocent joy. Delivered in a prestigious wooden presentation box with an additional leather strap, “The Panda Edition” represents the convergence of creativity, craftsmanship and nature. Collectors will surely find this unique piece of mechanical craft a charm to wear on the wrist.
