A method for fabricating a timepiece component made of conductive material includes: making a base from conductive material; coating the base with a first layer of sacrificial metal protection material; etching a recessed decoration mechanically or with a laser; coating the first recessed decoration and the remaining part of the first layer with a second metal and/or coloured decorative treatment layer; and removing each first sacrificial metal protection layer by chemical devices, to obtain a blank including a first decoration formed by the remaining part of the second layer.

An elastic fastening element for holding a timepiece component on a support element, including an opening the contour of which includes at least four contact areas for receiving and clamping the support element in the opening, the contact areas each being included on an inner face of a deformable portion provided with a through-hole of the fastening element.

A method of fabricating a decoration formed of an embossed envelope the internal surface of which includes at least one attachment adapted for fixing the decoration.

The invention relates to a fabrication method including an assembly step for inserting an intermediate part intended to ensure the flatness of the face to be welded.

A method for coating an external part (1) used in the horology, fashion, jewellery and gemstone jewellery fields, the coating method comprising the steps of at least partially overmoulding the external part (1) with an overmoulding layer (4) made of a plastic polymer material selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic polymers of the polyurethane family and thermosetting polymers of the epoxy polymer family, or from the group consisting of thermoplastic acrylic resins.

A method of manufacturing a wearable device comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) on which is mounted electronic components, the method includes providing a mould attaching the PCB to a cage, the cage comprising a cage body and at least one hole, inserting said PCB into the mould; arresting the PCB relative to the mould by inserting an insert tool into the mould and attaching the insert tool to said at least one hole, injecting a wet applied structural component into said mould and removing said mould.

The present disclosure discloses a UV watch screen protector sticking machine, which includes an upper cover component, a base, and a screen protector positioning component. The screen protector positioning component includes a positioning member and a liquid absorbing member. The positioning member is provided with a screen protector mounting hole, a press member, and a removal hole. A UV curing lamp is arranged in the upper cover component, and the base is provided with a placement slot of a fool-proof slot structure, a limiting member, an elastic member, and a locking member. The present disclosure solves the problems in the background section that the existing watch screen protector sticking machine does not have a curing function itself, a glue absorbing material is inconvenient to replace, it is complex to position the watch and apply the screen protector in the sticking process of the screen protector, and the like.

The method for manufacturing a timepiece component (10) having at least one first portion with at least one functional flank, for transmitting energy to another component or dissipating energy from another component, and at least one second portion with a guide surface,

includes carrying out a first micro-injection (E1) forming a blank (10) of the timepiece component, the blank having the at least one first portion and the at least one functional flank and a blank of the second portion,
then a second machining (E2), particularly a second laser machining, in particular femtosecond laser machining, of at least part of the blank of the timepiece component, this part including the blank of the second portion for forming the second portion with the guide surface.

A method for protecting a neodymium-iron-boron watch magnet against corrosion is provided. The method includes a sandblasting treatment of the watch magnet surface following by an ion implantation in an oxygen plasma or a nitrogen plasma to obtain an impervious surface layer with all of the surface bonds saturated by the implanted ions acting as a barrier against oxidation and preventing corrosion of the watch magnet in a humid environment, under the usual conditions for wearing watches.

A horological component including a first part having a body provided with a first and a second cavity, the second cavity receiving a second part by engagement therewith, the first and second cavities being connected to each other by a capillary channel configured to allow the capillary flow of an adhesive from the first cavity to the second.
