If it is like the one in the picture, the winding is done by turning from right to left that part with slots on top, english name is crown is not mistaken. We have other term for that part!

My computer won't let me download the picture, but if you're talking about the winder, it's called the stem.

Yes, thank you. We call it "carrapeta". Odd name here by the way!
