Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a horological component according to which a silicon-based piece having the desired shape of the horological component is produced and the piece is subjected to a thermal oxidation and deoxidation treatment to remove a predetermined thickness of silicon in order to increase the mechanical strength of the piece. This method is characterized in that the thermal oxidation and deoxidation treatment is carried out in several steps, each step including a thermal oxidation phase followed by a deoxidation phase.

The present invention provides a time display method and apparatus, and an electronic device. The time display method is applied to the electronic device, including: displaying a time dial, where the time dial includes a target pointer; and adjusting a display mode of the target pointer according to a first parameter of the electronic device, where the display mode of the target pointer includes at least one of the following: a color of the target pointer, a color filling amount of the target pointer, and a display attribute of a target element associated with the target pointer; and in a case that the display mode of the target pointer includes the display attribute of the target element, in a process of adjusting the display attribute of the target element, controlling a position relationship between the target element and the target pointer to remain unchanged.

A display mechanism of a watch including at least one indicator member and a drive member assembly. The indicator member is mounted to rotate about a first axis of rotation and is configured to indicate a time. The indicator member also has a second axis of rotation extending along the indicator member and a rotary element mounted to rotate about the second axis of rotation. The drive assembly includes a first drive member and a second drive member such that the first drive member drives the rotary element when it is moving about the first axis of rotation.

An information display device includes: a position changing unit that changes a position of an information indicator in accordance with a type of information to be displayed by the information indicator; and an operation unit that causes the position changing unit to change the position of the information indicator that represents one type of information to a new position that represents another type of information, the operation unit causing the position changing unit to perform a movement completion operation for indicating to a viewer that the type of information displayed has been changed, in accordance with the another type of the information to be displayed when the position changing unit finishes changing the position of the information indicator to the new position.

A moon phase indicator mechanism, for a timepiece provided with a movement and a dial, the moon phase indicator mechanism including at least one moon disc, and at least one moon phase train driven by the timepiece movement, the moon phase train meshing with a moon phase wheel which carries the moon disc at least indirectly and in a fixed manner, the moon phase wheel taking the form of a toothed ring in order to move the moon disc with the moon phase train about an axis A.

A display mechanism (100) allowing display change with a single display mobile (150) so as to indicate a first piece of information with a first counter (110) and second piece of information with a second counter (120). This change is performed by the permutation of a clutch organ (130) displacing between a first position (131) and a second position (132) when the clutch organ (130) is controlled by a control organ (140).

An electronic device includes a solar cell, a wiring board, a connector, a first circuit, a second circuit and a fixing member. The wiring board includes a feeder wiring connected to the solar cell. The connector is continuous with the wiring board and includes a feeder electrode electrically connected to the feeder wiring. The first circuit includes a first electrode and a first wiring continuous with the first electrode.
