Crown
The crown of a watch is the connection between
the wearer and the movement.
The crown is the single control interface of the watch and how you give the movement its power.
The crown is the key component in the ritual of winding your watch, taking a moment to feel every tactile click in the movement as you breathe 4 days of power into its barrel.

Each crown is produced in solid Grade 5 titanium and polished by hand to a perfect mirror finish. To preserve water resistance, tolerances are critical, with each crown crafted with a tolerance of 0.01mm. After all 47 facets of the crown have been machined a 1.2mm Crown stem is inserted into the bottom and fitted with a 0.4mm O-ring for a water resistance of 50 meters.
The shining gem on the top of the crown is a 0.2mm deep recessed channel filled with two layers of Swiss black lume, protected by a layer of hard coat.
