Hey Oliver
it's not only the Upside Down, of which i also was meaning to refer to when i say not many others, but even VC nowadays for their Collection Excellence Platine executes the crown in Platinum. Not only the crown, but the hands as well, and even some bridges!
One day in the future i have confidence that they will work on creating a piece that is 100% Platinum!
Cheers

Winding crowns on platinum watches
Hi everyone I've heard that the winding crowns on Journe's watches are made of platinum, similar to the cases. Is this true or are they white gold like most other platinum watches from other brands? Thank you Weng-Ho
Hey there Weng...
As best as I know from being the anal platinum guy that i am, they are crafted in White gold, just like most other brands.... Not many out there matches the crown to be in the same Platinum as the case... Sad to say, but so true to say.... Cheers Stephen
Felipe Jordao's 2005 article
Thanks guys for your answers. I read Felipe's 2005 article and it indicated that the Resonance's crown was made from platinum. Here is the quote from the article. QUOTE The crown has a wonderful knurled effect that really complements the whole ‘look’ of t...
Hi Wengho, that statement may be wrong

Ludovic Ballouard
The upside down from Ludovic Ballouard has a platinum crown. It is the only one I know. The Journes don't have a platinum crown. The article from Felipe has been corrected in the mean time. Dirk

Hey Stephen
regarding VC I asked them (Management) a few month ago and was told something else. I know it is written in the "VC special" which is currently available, but it seems to be wrong. Cheers Oliver
Ahh ok then i do not know about that!
Because here on the Japanese market it has been said as such, starting from last year's pocket watch from the collection Platine! But it is really difficult to tell whether the crown is really made out of Pt or not because there isnt enough space to put a...
Wonderful Irony Here
. . . since Ludovic Ballouard worked as a watchmaker for Montres Journe. I believe that all the Journe crowns in platinum cases have white gold crowns (a recent discussion on another forum). Best, Douglas
De Bethune - an enormous platinum crown
When I asked David Zanetta if the crowns were platinum as well he looked almost insulted. Crown is platinum and made by De Bethune. - SJX...
