But it also comes with a very attractive price tag…So, let’s invest in some quality time with the Reservoir Supercharged Sport.The combination of?jumping hours with retrograde minutes isn’t new. Some will remember Gerald Genta’s watches or more recently the Bvlgari Octo Retro watches. The main difference between the Reservoir and these watches lies in its price.
