A method of setting/calibrating a feature or function in a setting/calibrating mode of an electronic device comprising at least one actuatable selector, wherein the setting/calibrating of the feature or function requires an actuation of the at least one selector, wherein the electronic device comprises at least one indicator hand coupled to an actuation mechanism that rotates the at least one indicator hand in at least one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, wherein the method comprises the steps of using the at least one indicator hand to indicate the actuatable selector for actuation; setting/calibrating the feature or function; and exiting the setting/calibration mode. An electronic device that carries out the foregoing method is also disclosed.

A timepiece includes a dial plate, and a solar battery which is disposed on a rear side of the dial plate. The dial plate is provided with grooves or ridges. The grooves or the ridges have portions where inclination angles with regard to a normal line of the dial plate are different, and due to this, light which is transmitted through the dial plate is incident from a plurality of directions with angles which are different with regard to the solar battery.

The method makes it possible to produce a decorated component for a timepiece or piece of jewellery. This component provided with the decoration may be, for example, a watch hand. To produce said component, a base substrate is used and a micromachining operation is performed on or in the base substrate to obtain an upper part of the component, which is provided with the decoration. The decoration is produced through the thickness of the upper part and in a programmed pattern. Thereafter, the upper part is placed on a luminescent or colored substance to obtain the component.

Economical method for manufacturing a timepiece display or hand-fitting component: a casing material is chosen for each visible surface: amorphous metal or nanocrystalline alloy or alloy of gold and/or silver and/or copper and/or rhodium and/or titanium and/or aluminium; a thick, hollow blank of a thickness greater than 20 micrometres is created in a first tool, from the casing material with an initial thickness greater than or equal to 50 micrometres, with an overthickness with respect to each visible surface, with a first cavity for reception of a support structure; an interior material is chosen to make a support structure; the support structure is made and joined to the first cavity; one visible surface remaining visible, is diamond tool machined, removing all or part of the overthickness from the blank.

Economical method for manufacturing a timepiece display or hand-fitting component, wherein: there is chosen a first material which is easy to shape or to machine; a workpiece is made in the first material; a second material is chosen to make each aesthetical and/or visible surface of component, which is an amorphous metal alloy or has a nanocrystalline structure or includes nickel or nickel-phosphorus, or which is a pure metal or an alloy of gold and/or silver and/or copper and/or rhodium and/or titanium and/or aluminium; the workpiece is coated, at least on the surfaces intended to remain visible on the component, with a thick layer, of an initial thickness greater than 20 micrometres, of the second material; at least one aesthetical and/or visible surface, is diamond tool machined, removing all or part of the thick layer.

The present invention provides a smart watch, comprising a case and a bracelet. The smart watch further comprises: an electronic display, a pivot, hands and a rotatable pivot mounting member; the electronic display is provided with a through-hole at a specified location; the pivot is mounted inside the case and passes through the through-hole on the electronic display, a first end of the pivot that extends out from the back of the electronic display is connected to the pivot mounting member, the pivot is driven by the pivot mounting member to rotate about the axis when the pivot mounting member is rotating; a second end of the pivot that extends out from the front of the electronic display is equipped with the hands, the hands are driven by the pivot to rotate about the axis. Therefore, the smart watch comprises two output modes, electronic and mechanical, so it can greatly improve the richness of the output information without changing the size of the output interface of the smart watch, and thus complies with application requirements of smart watches.
