Well common sense would dictate just to let watch stop and rest if not needed on the wrist to tell the time.

Some people do this with quartz watches to stop the movement from draining the battery.

With a mechanical watch I would not want moisture and dust entering the case so leave the crown in and let the mainspring wind down.

You never "park" your watch. You tuck her in and kiss her goodnight.

Use a winder so you have the proper time next time you wear it.
