An external part of a timepiece has a substrate that includes a base layer and a surface layer, the surface layer including Ti or stainless steel; and a coating disposed on the substrate. The coating includes an outermost layer formed primarily of TiC defining an external surface, and an interior layer formed primarily of TiC positioned between the substrate and the outermost layer. An elastic modulus of the interior layer is greater than the elasticmodulus of the outermost layer.

A thermochromic element including a thermochromic layer including a binder and a thermochromic pigment chosen to react at a specific temperature so that the pigment passes from a first color to a second color when the specific temperature is reached. The thermochromic layer coats a thermally conductive layer, and is protected by an optically transparent layer that protects it from chemical and physical degradation.

A method is for manufacturing a part including a support provided with at least one hollow filled with an aesthetic element forming a decoration on a face of the part intended to be visible. The method includes providing the support provided with the at least one hollow and providing a preform intended to form the aesthetic element of the part, and inlaying by pressing the preform into the at least one hollow of the support. The preform is made of a crystalline aluminium alloy. The inlaying is carried out at a temperature between the solidus temperature and the liquidus temperature of the crystalline aluminium alloy.

A variable timepiece display mechanism includes a resilient hand with a drive pipe integral with a single-piece flexible strip including flexible segments joined at tips, a first segment thereof extends between the first pipe and a first tip. The mechanism also includes a driver for driving the pivoting of the pipe, and a stressor for stressing the first flexible segment in order to vary the position of the first tip relative to the output axis, as a function of the forces applied to the flexible strip. The drier and/or the stressor includes a first shaped gear train and/or a second shaped gear train in order to accelerate, stabilize the speed of, or slow at least the pipe over a part of the angular travel thereof.

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.

An electronic device including at least one analog information indicator, a digital display for displaying information and/or images, and a controller, wherein the controller positions the information and/or image(s) to simulate physical interaction between the information and/or images displayable on the digital display and the at least one analog information indicator.

An item with engraving associable with a web content includes an item body, made of metal or metal alloy, and at least one engraving made on the body of the item, or on an element embedded or mounted in the item body. The at least one engraving represents at least one respective code which is associated with the item and is also associated with a web connection able to show a web content, related to the item. The item includes a ring and/or a piece of jewelry and/or a jewel and/or a watch and/or a medal and/or an item made of a precious metal. The at least one engraved code includes a QR-code and/or an alphanumerical code and/or a bar code.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for presenting a watch face. The method includes: obtaining first context information and second context information, where the first context information is used to determine a watch face style of the smartwatch, and the second context information is used to indicate dressing information of a user; determining the watch face style of the smartwatch according to the first context information; and presenting a watch face pattern of the smartwatch according to the watch face style and the second context information.
