A timepiece resilient hand with drive pipes at the ends thereof, including a display index which is at a variable distance from the pipes, and including flexible segments between each pipe and the index each with a web having a substantially constant section, at least one flexible segment thereof includes discontinuous elements projecting from the web thereof in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the pipes and defining, along this web, an alternation of sections, the stiffnesses thereof per unit of length are different from one another, and/or at least one web includes a succession of areas of opposite concavities, projecting on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the pipes

A horological component including a substrate and at least one first decoration component including at least one first photoluminescent material configured to procure a phosphorescent appearance. The horological component includes a second decoration component including at least one second material, the second material being metallic and configured to procure a metallic appearance, or variochromic and configured to procure a color that varies under the effect of a stimulus, the first decoration component and the second decoration component being arranged relative to one another on the substrate to form a decoration having a metallic appearance or a color that varies under the effect of a stimulus when the horological component is exposed to light and a phosphorescent appearance when the horological component is in the dark. A timepiece can include such a horological component.

A wearable electronic device is described. The wearable electronic device uses a light within a housing of the electronic device to illuminate an optically connected band, such as a watch band which provides interactive displays and features to a user. The positioning of the light source within the housing allows for the interactive display in the connected band without increasing the size and/or complexity of the electronic device itself.

An arm wearable device including a case, a module which has a brittle member and is provided in the case, and a plurality of holding portions which holds the module in the case such that flexural deformation of the module is restricted to deformation where a virtual straight line extending in a longitudinal direction of the brittle member serves as a center line.

A dial includes a recessed portion formed by laser irradiation, and a decorative portion formed at a bottom surface of the recessed portion by laser irradiation, including a first groove extending in a first direction, and a second groove extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and including a plurality of protruding portions provided in a region partitioned by a plurality of the first grooves, and a plurality of the second grooves.

A decorative, wearable system includes at least one decorative element mechanically and moveably suspended in a liquid by mechanical fixation elements. The liquid shares a substantially similar refraction index as at least one of mechanical fixation elements.

A moir-effect winding assembly for an automatic timepiece movement includes an oscillating winding mass which is movable relative to the movement. The winding mass is to be mounted to rotate on an axis of the movement. Part of the winding mass forms a heavy part allowing the mass to oscillate in response to the movement of the timepiece and to the force of gravity. The assembly also includes an element that is stationary relative to the movement. The stationary element is arranged under the winding mass. The winding mass at least partly displaces above the stationary element. The stationary element includes a first relief pattern and the winding mass includes a plurality of through openings defining a second pattern, so as to create a dynamic moir effect when the winding mass displaces above the stationary element.

The present invention is directed to devices that may be used to help young children stay in bed or their room until it is time to get up. The device may be configured as a clock. The clock may be programmable to have a duration of a nap time, or a time when the child is able to get up. A visual countdown timer may be provided with the device (e.g., on the clock face), which may include a graphical representation of the remaining fraction of time before get up time. The visual countdown timer may not include number indicia, but rather includes a graphic (e.g., ring extending about the perimeter of the clock face), which gradually diminishes as the predetermined get up time is approached. A reward drawer may also be provided, which automatically unlocks at the get up time, and provides the child with a prize.

A method is for manufacturing a part including a support made of an electrically non-conductive material, the support being provided with at least one recess filled with an aesthetic element made of an electrically conductive material, and the aesthetic element forms a decoration on a side of the part that is intended to be visible. The method includes inlaying by pressing a preform intended to form the aesthetic element into the at least one recess of the support, and treating the surface of the aesthetic element. The at least one recess opens in one or more places onto a side of the part that is intended to be non-visible, to respectively form one or more contact points for carrying current across the aesthetic element during the surface treatment.
