POINT OF ‘VU’

For any Generation X audiophile, a VU meter was a must-have when it came to home Hifi.

The slim needle on these analogue ‘Volume Unit’ meters would flick across the dial in relation to the music, and now the classic gauge style has been reproduced in the Reservoir Sonomaster Chronograph. The VU meters on the watch face measure seconds (marked 0-30) and the date (marked 0-31) with the seconds needle flying back every half-minute. Inspired by the likes of the legendary LuxmanM10 Mk II power amplifier, the Sonomaster Chronograph is one of the most evocative, nostalgia-inspired timepieces on the market.
