They are usually called a "telltale" gauge and yes, are kinda interesting.
The red needle stays at the max. pressure that the gauge measures. It's resettable by twisting a little knob on the face of the gauge. The Watts one in the photo is available at Home Depot. Should be mounted with the threaded fitting facing down so sediment won't accumulate in it. I couldn't find one and mounted it upside down instead.
I used brass pipe and fittings between the regulator and city water inlet so that it won't fail if there is high pressure in a CG somewhere out there.
