Watches for Left Handers.......

[Irish]

Right, I wear my watch on my right had and I am starting to dream of left facing crowns.

So, which makers do them? Those wonderful people at Panerai have a few.

...also is a left crown worth more or less?

Waiting for the dust to gather on this thread........

It is very Homo to wear a watch on your right wrist ,, you do know that dont you

Interesting thought, obviously the majority of watches have the crown on the right hand side, and the majority of people seem to wear them on their left wrist.

Suppose when they first appeared, it was easier to wind it with the crown on your left facing to the fingers.............

Any ideas?

I wear mine on my right too... i prefer the crown on the right side- means basically zero chance of bashing it against something and risking it coming off.

One of the original heuer carrera autos (might have been calibre 12? ) had a leftie crown, and I *think* one of the original monacos did if thats any use.

Breitling Chronomatics have the crown on the left hand side of the face.

To the OP any number of makers produce left handed watches, certainly including: Girard Perregaux; Oris; Anonimo; Chronoswiss; Graham; Hamilton; Citizen. Or for a radical suggestion you could get a JLC Reverso with the back face uppermost (see I always get a JLC recommendation in ).

As for why I do most people wear their watches on the left, I suspect its no more than the fact that the majority of people are right-handed, and are more dextrous with their right hand so its easier to do it up onto your left wrist. Also the whole bl**dy world is organised for right handers so why not this as well ... ?

Ah well no accounting for taste is there

Cant cost much?............. found one site which clearly stated, "Reasonable prices".

But couldnt find any sites with actual prices on though.

Guessing over 2.5k.

I agree but then I think that about Panerai ... ... fortunately we don't all like the same thing.

BR - I reckon less than £1k for one of those Sinns - ask Neil at www.chronomaster.co.uk
