Power reserves explained

Found this blog post with quite an explanation of power reserve displays in general and the Dornblüth creation in particular. Amazing detail.

Thanks for sharing this great find. I've struggled to fully comprehend the way the Dornblüth PR indicator works. Once I read this article a few more times, I'm sure I'll appreciate my 99.2 and 99.3 much more (as if that's even possible ).

Cheers!

This looks like a pretty good explanation of the power reserve function (although very lacking in diagrams), but the website that it's on is a portal to a site that sells replica (fake) watches. Just FYI.

Yeah, saw that too. Kind of disappointing that useful information like this is associated with the replica business...

..someplace interesting, maybe.

Looks like a magazine worth perusing...I'll bet many of you are already familiar with it.

Mike, great find. Much happier to have the original with photos. Link to the replica site above has been deleted.

Excellent detective work. I'm embarrassed to admit I have that very issue of Watch Time in my own library!
