Q

Why is the crown of a wristwatch on the right?

Questioner: Naver AAR Cafe Ka***jun

A

hello! Since right-handed people usually wear watches on their left wrist and wind and adjust time with their right hand, many watches have the crown on the right.
Meanwhile, a left-handed watch with the crown located on the left is called a 'destro'. However, there is no correct answer to wearing a watch, and it is up to the user to decide which wrist to wear it on.

At Rolex, the GMT-Master 2 Ref. 126720VTNR was the first to be released with a design with a crown on the left, but many brands have previously introduced watches with a crown on the left, including Tudor, Panerai, Omega, Citizen, and TAG Heuer.
