You’re at a cocktail party. You’ve got a neat suit/dress on and you’re having a great time. Then you remember that your stew is still going in the slow cooker at home. Uh oh, you need to tell the time! You decided to be all vintage and elegant so decided to wear a pocket watch. You pull out this beauty and one of your friends makes a snide remark.
“What even is that?” he asks, completely baffled. “Isn’t that a tad inappropriate?”
You chuckle wisely and reply, “shut up, loser. Even my watch is getting some. You need to up your game, bro.”
You then return home and enjoy some delicious beef stew, pocket watch still ticking away happily.
Did leaded petrol do this much damage to pocket watch designers and buyers? Grand Seiko take note: that’s how a owner reserve indicator should be done. I’m looking forward to a Zaratsu polishied phallus on the new “Snowflake,” or whatever it’s going to be called.

This looks hand-painted such that it may be a one-off customization. The one index looking like a pointed ear is rather unfortunate.

These aren’t all that uncommon. I’m sure that a company specialised in this and made a few dials for different movements, because I’ve seen different brands with similar dials.
I wonder what the artist was thinking? Did he or she have to take cold shower breaks in between or did they hate their job? “Ugh, another day of painting penile power reserve indicators. I can’t wait to retire.”
