Hi all
Well, I have to confess that I really love power reserve indicators. For me, they are very useful and they can be so different.
Do you like this complication (for automatic or manual movements)? Which style do you prefer (classic, original...)? What is your preferred one?
Thank you for your opinion and your pictures.
Now, some pictures (non exhaustive list of course).

Oris 110 years LE with a 10 days non-linear power reserve indicator. It gives you a better indication of how much power is left as the moment to wind approaches. Really interesting IMHO.
