A dial, and timepiece including the dial, including a mother-of-pearl wafer partially covering a support member, and a decorative element arranged on a reverse of the wafer, the decorative element being visible on an obverse of the wafer when subjected to a stimulus and invisible on the obverse of the wafer in the absence of the stimulus. The decorative element has a first empty area on a reverse of the wafer, and a second empty area on the obverse of the wafer, facing the first empty area. A colour compensation layer is deposited on the first empty area or the second empty area, the colour being selected such that the difference in colour ?E in the CIE Lab colour space between the colour compensation layer and the decorative element in the absence of said stimulus, perceived by a user observing the obverse of the wafer, is less than 3.

A timepiece component for a timepiece case or for a timepiece includes a first ring, at least one decorative and/or display element, a second ring, and an elastic element mounted so as to bear on the first ring and to urge the at least one decorative and/or display element toward the second ring.

A moving mechanism for a decorative element of a timepiece including a circular drive element arranged to be rotatable about a central axis, the decorative element being mounted on the drive element with an arbor integral with the decorative element and parallel to the central axis, and first device for driving the decorative element in a rotational motion about its own arbor and/or in a translational motion along its own arbor, the first drive device for the decorative element being mounted on the circular drive element and arranged to cooperate with fixed actuation device arranged in the periphery of the circular drive element such that the decorative element rotates about its arbor and/or moves along its arbor while rotating about the central axis.

Aspects of the disclosure provide a hybrid smartwatch that incorporates digital technology with an analog timepiece in a wristwatch form factor. A digital display layer of a non-emissive material is configured to present notices, data, content and other information. An analog display layer includes one or more hands of the timepiece, and overlies the digital display layer. The hands may be controlled by a processor through micro-stepper motors or other actuators. Physical motion of the hands provides expressivity, for instance via visual mechatronic effects. This may include buzzing, clapping, providing stylized visual features, hiding or minimizing information, and revealing information. The information presented on the digital display layer is presented concurrently with the hand movement, in a manner that complements the hand motion. This provides a rich, symbiotic dual-display layer arrangement that enhances the capabilities of the digital and analog display layers.

The present invention relates to a display module including a fixed frame and at least two substantially rigid display organs. The display organs each include a portion displaying a pattern, said display portions being complementary to one another such that it forms said pattern in at least one relative position of said display organs. Furthermore, at least one of the display organs is secured and movable relative to the frame via a deformable link at least between a first resting position, in which the display portions are separate from one another, and a display position, in which said display portions are counter-affixed to one another to form and display said pattern. Lastly, said display organ(s) movable relative to the frame cooperate with an actuating push-piece arranged to transmit a movement force of this display organ by elastic deformation around its deformable link(s) from said resting position toward said display position.

A watch component of the present disclosure includes a substrate, a multilayer film that covers at least a part of the substrate and includes a color adjusting film having a function of adjusting a color tone, a first transparent film stacked at the multilayer film, having a predetermined refractive index, and formed in a freely selected pattern, and a second transparent film stacked at the first transparent film or the multilayer film, and having a refractive index different from that of the first transparent film by a predetermined difference.

A watch including a watch case, the watch case containing a watch movement and two dials. The watch further includes a casing ring arranged inside the watch case, the watch movement being mounted in the casing ring so as to be suspended in a cantilever arrangement inside the watch case, the casing ring supporting the two dials.

A decorative element for watches, comprising: a framework comprising arms (12) delimiting a plurality of decorative areas (Zi) and forming support elements, and a plurality of decorative components (20) fixed to the arms of the skeleton, each decorative component occupying a decorative area.

A method of manufacturing a decorative member, including: molding a base with a mold having a transferring surface, the transferring surface having a recessed area and the other area, the recessed area and the other area having different surface roughnesses in the base in a finished state; and treating a surface of the base molded by the transferring surface of the mold under a single condition.
