The JLC Duometre crowns are very refined with the recessed logo. Grand Seiko also has nice recessed logos. Same goes for Credor (Eichi II). Onion crowns of FPJs are also visually interesting with the way the light reflects off it to give an illusion of a...

Great topic my friend,
By: Alex83 : September 20th, 2017-13:23
And great examples, looks pretty much covered to me! A note on the UN Freak, at least for the first version. Here the typical crown uses, ie winding and setting time, are divided between the bezel and the case back; the latter one used to wind and the bez...
Thank you, fun area to focus on

What about ONE crown that can at the same time: wind the watch set the time, by moving the hours and the minutes start the chrono stop the chrono restart the chrono reset the chronographs to zero arm/ activate a flyback function ? Work in progress... Best...

Not a fan of vintage revival (at all...)
By: ztirual : September 21st, 2017-07:23
Besides, as I wrote, it needs to have hour chronographs function + flyback. We are are not talking about pusher(s) here... Only the crown will do. =super crown. ;-)
thanks!

Slide do not lift

I'm with on the Futurematic Slide do no lift. Not sure if it's the crown or the watch it's attached too Cheers JML ...
Wow two portholes!

They look stunning! Out n about with mine. Cheers JML ...
How about a few of the most "designed" but non-functional crowns?
By: cazalea : September 20th, 2017-18:13
You know the one I mean ... That requires a tool to operate Only Alain Silberstein would do this to us Whereas Gerald Genta who should have known better built this tiny, recessed, slippery, virtually-unusable crown The food is good though. Cazalea ...
Unusable?
By: JFT : September 20th, 2017-22:43
You should've tried rado ceramica automatic crown Totally slippery ceramic crown! Or... Try to wind a mido commander's crown... It's easy to peel off your skin while winding it... Credits to Google ...
Exactly!
By: JFT : September 21st, 2017-02:08
I think that's why I rarely have one for service for a whole year, the automatic one I mean. (Oooops) :p

I wonder if anyone forget these revolutionary Opus by HW
By: JFT : September 20th, 2017-22:53
The goodie opus 3, that kind of crown tho how to operate that? Then this massive crown "cap" of opus 5 And opus 7 with literally have a functioning jewel (or some) outside the movement... One of most beautifully executed crown selector out there.... Well....
Hmm... The one I really want to handle the most is
By: JFT : September 21st, 2017-02:14
The Opus 3 ... I mean, how to wind it, how to set the date and the time itself.... I mean, with that kind of "horizontal" crown... I'm not sure if anyone around the neighborhood got one to play around too tho, let alone play with it
Interesting article, my friend. One observation from my side
By: crown comfort : September 20th, 2017-23:15
That Pusher mechanism of the RG may be interesting and technically challenging, but it reminds me of the that stupid Start/Stop button that now even the cheapest cars have. As often, keeping it simple and logical like it worked for a century with a turn o...
