A computerized watch is described that includes a cover that forms an outer surface of the computerized watch, a screen configured to output graphical information for display, a set of physical watch hands positioned between the cover and the screen and configured to present a time of day. One or more computer processors and a memory comprising instructions. The instructions, when executed, cause the one or more computer processors to responsive to determining that the computerized watch is operating in a time display mode, manipulate the set of physical watch hands such that the set of physical watch hands present the time of day by obscuring a portion of a display region of the screen, and responsive to determining that the computerized watch is not operating in the time display mode, manipulate the set of physical watch hands such that the set of physical hands do not obscure the screen.

The invention relates to a method for broadcasting an acoustic signal to the wearer of a watch, the method comprising a step of identifying an event relating to a function of this watch (1) as well as a step of sending a configuration signal relating to said identified event to a sound interface (3) of the watch (1) comprising a plurality of piezoelectric elements (4) mounted on at least one deformable support element (9), said plurality of piezoelectric elements and said at least one deformable support element (9) being able together to produce a sound.

A novel electronic device is provided. Alternatively an electronic device of a novel embodiment is provided. An electronic device includes a support and a display portion. The support has a first curved surface. The display portion is provided over the support. The display portion has a top surface and a side surface in contact with at least one side of the top surface. The side surface has a second curved surface. The top surface includes a first display region. The side surface includes a second display region. The first display region and the second display region are continuously provided.

A timepiece includes a winding stem, a calendar correction transfer wheel that rotates in synchronization with the winding stem in a state in which the winding stem is pulled to a first-step position, a calendar corrector wheel that rotates in synchronization with the calendar correction transfer wheel, a setting wheel lever that supports the calendar correction transfer wheel and the calendar corrector wheel, and a date indicator that rotates in synchronization with the calendar corrector wheel. The setting wheel lever is provided with shaft receiving holes to which the calendar corrector wheel is attachable in a rotatable manner, and the calendar corrector wheel is attached to one of the shaft receiving holes in accordance with the type of the date indicator.

A computerized watch is described that includes a cover that forms an outer surface of the computerized watch, a screen configured to output graphical information for display, a set of physical watch hands positioned between the cover and the screen and configured to present a time of day. One or more computer processors and a memory comprising instructions.

The invention provides a system for providing an indication including a meniscus mobilizer, a meniscus mobilized by at least meniscus mobilizer, and at least one fluid forming the meniscus, such that mobilization of the meniscus by the meniscus mobilize is accomplished through the use of an electro-mechanical or mechanical sub-system. The system further includes a temperature control sub-system, whereby the temperature control sub-system securitizes and optimizes a meniscus displacement velocity of the meniscus. The system further includes an element of a vehicle, such as a windshield, indicators within the cockpit of the vehicle, ship, train, motorcycle or airplane. Optionally, the element comprises a transparent glass. The indication is an indication of time or other parameter such as speed, acceleration, etc. Indication is provided by means of a fluorescent active fluid that forms the meniscus. The invention includes an ultraviolet light generator. Optionally, the ultraviolet light generator is an LED, whereby the system is not lighted in an orthogonal direction and thereby invisible to a driver of a vehicle.
