Hi all,

22 PuristS gave their opinion about this little survey which was to know how you put your beloved watches when they come with a folding clasp.

Thank you to everybody for your answers.

Well, no more suspens. "Crown up" won by KO (which doesn't mean that crown down is wrong - that was not the goal of this little survey).

Many thanks Pia for your collaboration and help.



73% of PuristS think that crown up is the best side to put a watch. 9% think that crown down is better and 18% use other possibilities (detach the folding clasp, put his watch in a box...).

Thanks again Pia (she wanted to say hello to everybody. She's so kind). We really missed you.



Best wishes

I missed this item but wish to add. Crown down eventually risks damaging the stem and the related lever's inside. There was an article years ago that showed the damage suffered from frequent jolts to the stem from regularly placing the watch crown down. However why do some manufacturers put a gemstone into the crown if not to protect the crown from scratches etc when the watch is placed crown down? The only times I place a watch into a vertical position is when I wish to control the daily rate.
