Thought I might share this rare Lecoultre 8 day pocket watch. It's equipped with a reserve indicator. Unfortunately, the hairspring's damaged.

I'm sure the power reserve works on the same principle as this version of the Futurematic:

What is the vintage of that pocketwatch?

9/10 times someone posts a pocket watch its a pretty boring thread but an 8 days power reserve LeCoultre is the 1/10 exception, nice find!

I believe some time in the late 40's would do it right. I really haven't a good idea, though.
