Longines presents a unique take on the humble power reserve indicator with its Conquest Central Power Reserve model
ASHOK SOMAN
Centralised Power

If you are wondering what a central power reserve is, well you are not the only one. Created for the 70th anniversary of the Conquest collection this year, the display neatly puts the complication on the same axis as the hours and minutes. In short, the discs beneath the hands turn and this gives the watch a truly prominent and unusual arrangement for this feature. While this is exactly as per the original watch from the Longines archive (1950s), this new interpretation still surprised us. The new watch features an automatic movement, which further adds to how unusual it is.
