Ergonomic watchmaker's workstation including, around a work platform, two forearm supports each at least tiltably adjustable in a vertical plane, and control and storage means arranged to control motorised adjustment means in order to move each said forearm support in at least one degree of freedom, and said control and storage means are programmable to trigger, at predefined or random moments, micro movements of the forearm supports of short duration, less than two seconds, and of small angular amplitude, less than 2 and/or of linear amplitude, less than 5 mm, the workstation further including a user interface connected to the control and storage means, to trigger other micro movements, and/or to modify the settings.

A band aide device for a watch with wristbands and band release buttons, includes a first section having a first hinge element and a first finger tab diametrically opposing the first hinge element. The device includes a second section having a second hinge element and a second finger tab diametrically opposing the second hinge element. The device includes a first prong and a second prong in spaced relation from the first prong. The first and second prongs depend from an interior surface of the first section and being arranged to align with the band release buttons. To move the first and second sections in a closed state around a watch-face of the watch, or when applying pressure to at least the first finger tab in a direction of the watch, pressure is applied to the band release buttons to simultaneously release the wristbands.

Watchmaker's bench, comprising: a work table arranged to receive timepieces, a frame supporting the work table, defining at least one work face or a work station on the work table for an operator and arranged to rest on a workshop floor, characterized in that the watchmaker's bench comprises at least one mounting rail, particularly arranged below the working table and facing the work face or the work station, and arranged to receive at least one work module to be coupled to the watchmaker's bench in a position that is adjustable along said at least one mounting rail.

A gripper (100) with radial clamping, provided for a timepiece component, including a plurality of jaws (1) distributed about an axis (D), which defines a direction of insertion and/or of extraction for the timepiece component, and connected to a support (2) of the gripper, each jaw including a bearing surface (10) arranged to ensure a radial contact, relative to the axis, with a counter surface of the component and to be able to apply on this counter surface a radial clamping force, at least one the jaw being radially movable, in relation to the axis, and having an essentially radial travel in relation to the axis (D). Each mobile jaw is connected to the support by a radial elastic return member (3) that extends in a general plane (P) perpendicular to the axis and that is arranged between the mobile jaw and the axis (D).

A gripper device (100) for maintaining, centring, and/or clamping a micromechanical or horological component (200) in a clamping chamber defined by a clamp including at least one mobile jaw (2). At least a part of the mobile jaws (2) includes a reference surface (20) for frontal bearing of a component (200), and the gripper device (100) includes a vacuum generator (60) for creating the vacuum in the clamping chamber. Also, a method for fastening a micromechanical or horological component (200) in the clamping chamber of such a gripper device (100) according to which the component (200) is disposed on the reference surface (20), then a first maintaining by vacuum is carried out, then a second maintaining having a torque greater than that of the first maintaining by pivoting of the mobile jaws (2).
