It is the button on the end of the spindle that is used for adjusting the time and/or date on an analogue (non digital) watch. In older watches and pocket watches which are not powered by batteries it is also used to wind the watch spring to give it power. Generally the winding is done with the crown flush against the watch, pulled out once it adjusts the date (if it has one) and pulled out a second "click" it adjusts the time. The crown is generally round and ridged to provide grip on the finger.

How do you restart automatic watch?
You can wind the watch manually. Manual winding will require the crown of the watch to be pulled or unscrewed to set the time and all the other functions. This will reduce the life of the winding gears and destroy the threads on the tube of the crown. In addition, to reducing wear and tear of the crown system , a properly designed watch winder can help distribute the lubricating oil inside the watch evenly, in most cases. When you don't wear your automatic watch, it's best to keep it in watch winder. I bought one and it works perfect, even smells great and keeps my watch running perfect when not in use.
