Out of my collection, I wanted to highlight this particular crown found on my Ebel E-type Chronograph. Ebel is still a underappreciated brand. Sadly it tried to move upscale a few years back without much success. But I love this particular model. This wat...

. . . with a brief journey to the local Irish bar for a pint and a few rounds of pool, then a very busy Sunday with road trips far and wide, culminating in the usual 8-ball tournament at the seaside dive bar and a very late supper on the Sunset Strip. Hop...

Not forged, not casted but machined. Not slim, not elegant but handy. Just nice to look at and nice to touch. More about it, later and only here in this community. Cheers kolosstt ...
Crowns.. Hmmmh.. Pretty interesting topic.. Friends, As already stated in the intro to this WS, although it sounds like a simple, just necessary item, it may offer quite a variety, shape & versatile function to interact with our tic-tacs.. Here just 2 exa...
and a integral part of what makes that watch special...without it, forget the whole compressor concept/model line Thanks for sharing and have a good weekend. Mike

Long time that I don't wear the Solar Impulse (first version) HB-SIA: I believe that this watch is one of the most permanent watch on my meager collection. Just love it: The titanium case is light and wonderful: The GMT complication, comes handy when trav...

... when I took those pictures a few years ago as soon as this model was released. I bought it brand new at a local AD, one of the very few of this model which arrived to my Country. Never took the transparent decals protecting it. I couldn´t get to fall ...
Querido Abel, You are right! I had forgotten about this fantastic gift you gave your son! I am sure he enjoys it immensely and every time he looks at it, surely he must smile. My dad and I share watches every now and then, even to the extent of trading am...
... to share your passion with watches with your Dad... in spite of the risks! Lol! Such an enjoyable thing is to share fun moments with parents and children! Que tengas un muy buen fin de semana mi amigo! Muy cordialmente, Abel.
One detail I find very nice is the direction to set Date on the Memovox Internaltional: Another crown related detail that I find very nice is the PCG, Pinoted Crown Guard: And yes, when you mention crown and watch in the same sentence it is hard not to th...

As just as your brother in law, I too bought mine less than a week ago. A fun piece, for sure, and one that I had been eyeing for a long time. Always great to hear from you, Mike! Take care, Alex
Chopard Classic Crown Lets don't forget the well known crown that carries the logo of the collection Vulcanized crown with silverish steering wheel. Cheers and have a nice weekend Kolosstt ...
For me that crown always reminded of a tire. The "steering wheel" always looked like racing caps and the vulcanized rubber the tires. Thanks for sharing, Mike
I really like Peter's large crown design...unfortunately whenever I wear his serpent calendar, it digs into the skin...guess I am a glutton for punishment! Best, Mike

Originally designed for El Haj T'hami el Mezouari el Glaoui, the Pasha of Marrakech , Louis Cartier designed a watch that the Pasha could use while swimming. Here's the Cartier Pasha with a canteen crown topped by a sapphire cabochon ...
Jeweler to Kings! Thank you for showing us the canteen crown with the jewel cabachon...I think I like this better than the current faceted ones. Best, Mike
Besides recessing it under the top lip of the case or placing it on the caseback...the best example of a hidden crown can be found on Dunhill's Bobby Finder Chronograph where moving the bezel exposes the chrono actuators on the sides. Best, MIke ...
Still one of the best crowns imho... Pic courtesy of McGonigle watches. Love the tactile feeling when winding this beauty On the back for more efficiency, less stress on the caliber, no problem winding whilst on the wrist. Inspired by a ship's valve on/of...
Same manufacture, same complication, same number of crowns but not exactly same spirit. If I wasn't saving for another project , I will go for the both [/URL] [/URL] ...
