METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A PART MADE OF A HARD MATERIAL WITH A POLYMER INSERT
A method is for manufacturing an ornamental part, for example a watch, jewellery or telephone part, in particular a watch crown. The part includes, at least partially, a hard material with a Vickers hardness exceeding 1,000 HV. The method includes the following main steps: producing a precursor from a mixture of at least one powder material with a binder, producing an insert made of a polymer material, the insert having, at least partially, a negative shape of that desired for at least one portion of the part, overmoulding the precursor onto the insert made of a polymer material by injection into a mould to form a green body, and sintering the green body to form a body of the future part from the hard material.
HOROLOGICAL CONTROL DEVICE
A control device (2) mounted in an opening (20) in a middle (16) and including a support (14) and a rotatable part, which has a shaft (12), a gripping member (4) and a control member (6) forming a rotation sensor (26). The sensor includes a magnetic detector provided inside the watch case in a radial peripheral region of the control member. On a first side of a circular opening (22), the support has a cavity (24) which is open in the axial direction. The cavity is configured to house the control member fixedly mounted on the shaft, such that this control member can be momentarily retracted, at least for the most part, into the cavity following an axial movement of the shaft into a position in which the magnetic detector is mounted inside the watch case.

DEVICE FOR LOCKING A TIMEPIECE MOVEMENT
A timepiece (100) including a case (10) including a middle (1), the top part whereof is closed by a bezel (2) and the bottom part whereof is closed by a back (3), a horological movement (4) mounted against the middle (1) by means of a casing ring (5), wherein the casing ring (5) comprises at least two clippable parts (50, 51) which hold the horological movement (4), the two parts being inseparable once mounted against the middle (1) when closing the case (10) of the timepiece (100).

Switch device and timepiece
A switch device including a base member provided with a stem insertion hole, an operation member which is slidably inserted into the stem insertion hole of the base member and has an engaging groove provided in an outer circumference surface, a stopper member having an engaging section which is arranged in the engaging groove of the operation member and moved along with sliding of the operation member, and a separation regulation section which prevents the engaging section from being separated from the engaging groove, in which a leading end portion of the engaging section is positionally regulated toward axial center of the operation member by the separation regulation section when the operation member is pulled toward the outside of the base member.
Metal wheel rotation device
The present disclosure relates to a metal wheel rotation device, comprising a watch body, which is provided with a watch case face cover and a watch case bottom cover at the upper and lower ends respectively, a watch case middle frame is fixedly arranged between the watch case face cover and the watch case bottom cover, a watch movement is sleeved in the watch case middle frame, and the watch movement is engaged in the watch case middle frame; an adjustment structure is provided in the middle position of one side of the watch case middle frame corresponding to a watch movement button, the adjustment structure is fixedly connected to the watch case middle frame by screws. This design transfers the adjustment structure of the watch case to the middle position. A rotating structure is composed of a rubber ring, a threaded rod metal structure and an external handle head. The rotating structure drives the watch movement to adjust and rotate. The ferrule is combined on the threaded rod metal structure, and the ferrule mainly serves as an adsorption and anti-slip effect, so that the original adjustment structure of the watch movement can be driven to rotate simultaneously when the external handle head rotates. The adjustment structure of the present disclosure is more convenient to use and has a more symmetrical appearance.

Remote control mechanism for timepieces
Watch comprising a movement with an axially and rotationally movable main stem, and a control mechanism for the remote control of the main stem which comprises a secondary stem operable by a user and guided in rotation by guide means of a plate, and axial stop means for a secondary pinion integral in rotation with the secondary stem, and a transmission train meshed with the secondary pinion to transmit any rotation of the secondary pinion to the main stem, and further comprises an articulated connection, arranged to transmit any axial motion of the secondary stem to the main stem.
Winding mechanism of a timepiece
A winding mechanism is for a timepiece including at least one first and one second power accumulators. The winding mechanism includes a winding stem, a winding pinion and a sliding pinion having face gear toothings, facing one another. The winding stem and the sliding pinion occupy the same axial winding position. The winding mechanism includes a coupling device which cooperates with the winding pinion and is provided to occupy a first coupling position for coupling the winding pinion and the first power accumulator when the winding stem is turned in one direction, the second power accumulator being uncoupled, without any contact with the coupling device, and a second coupling position for coupling the winding pinion and the second power accumulator when the winding stem is turned in the other direction, the first power accumulator being uncoupled, without any contact with the coupling device.
