A method that is for manufacturing a timepiece provided with a personalized decoration, visible in particular when the timepiece is worn, includes constructing the timepiece and producing the personalized decoration on all or part of a body of the timepiece. Producing the personalized decoration includes selecting from a human-machine interface of an electronic device a single portion of a reference digital graphical representation, in particular of an ephemeral reference digital graphic representation, and applying a coating of decorative material on all or part of the body of the timepiece as a function of the descriptive characteristics of the selected single portion.

A horological component including a substrate and at least one first decoration component including at least one first photoluminescent material configured to procure a phosphorescent appearance. The horological component includes a second decoration component including at least one second material, the second material being metallic and configured to procure a metallic appearance, or variochromic and configured to procure a color that varies under the effect of a stimulus, the first decoration component and the second decoration component being arranged relative to one another on the substrate to form a decoration having a metallic appearance or a color that varies under the effect of a stimulus when the horological component is exposed to light and a phosphorescent appearance when the horological component is in the dark. A timepiece can include such a horological component.

A timepiece component is formed of an austenitic-ferritic stainless steel including a base portion formed of a ferrite phase, a surface layer formed of an austenitic phase, and a mixed layer formed between the base portion and the surface layer and obtained by mixing the ferrite phase and the austenitic phase. A recessed portion is formed in the surface layer and a distance from a front surface of the surface layer to a bottom surface of the recessed portion is shorter than a distance from the front surface to the mixed layer.

An arm wearable device including a case, a module which has a brittle member and is provided in the case, and a plurality of holding portions which holds the module in the case such that flexural deformation of the module is restricted to deformation where a virtual straight line extending in a longitudinal direction of the brittle member serves as a center line.

A method is for manufacturing a part including a support made of an electrically non-conductive material, the support being provided with at least one recess filled with an aesthetic element made of an electrically conductive material, and the aesthetic element forms a decoration on a side of the part that is intended to be visible. The method includes inlaying by pressing a preform intended to form the aesthetic element into the at least one recess of the support, and treating the surface of the aesthetic element. The at least one recess opens in one or more places onto a side of the part that is intended to be non-visible, to respectively form one or more contact points for carrying current across the aesthetic element during the surface treatment.

A watch component is provided with a base material having light transmissivity, and a metal film layered on the base material. The metal film includes a plurality of through holes formed penetrating the metal film, and recessed portions are formed in the base material in positions corresponding to the through holes.

For example, an escape gear portion as a watch component includes a substrate containing silicon as a main component, and a light reflecting layer including a first silicon oxide layer, a silicon layer, and a second silicon oxide layer that are stacked, in this order, at the substrate, wherein, when the light reflecting layer is viewed in plan view, the light reflecting layer includes a first region and a second region, and a thickness of the silicon layer in the first region is different from a thickness of the silicon layer in the second region.

A watch component is provided with a base material having light transmissivity, and a metal film layered on the base material. The metal film includes a plurality of through holes formed penetrating the metal film, and recessed portions are formed in the base material in positions corresponding to the through holes.

A timepiece includes a movement having a timepiece component, a first hand that has a first length and that is driven by the movement, a second hand that has a second length less than the first length and that is driven by the movement, a support plate provided on the movement, and a dial including a support plate provided on the movement and a sub-dial ring that displays an indicator related to the second hand. The support plate has a support plate ring member that is provided with a support plate opening and a support member that is coupled to the support plate inner circumference of the support plate ring member. The timepiece component is disposed below the support plate opening. The sub-dial ring is disposed on the support member. A cut-out portion is provided at an overlapping position that is above the timepiece component and that overlaps the timepiece component.

A method of constructing a wall clock using vinyl records allows a vinyl record to be recycled and repurposed as a wall clock. A used vinyl record is refurbished by being polished and buffed to respectively improve shine and remove any scratches. Track information and/or other designs are engraved onto the vinyl record for aesthetic purposes. A central portion of the vinyl record is modified into a clock-receiving setting in order to receive a center piece. The center piece is the display face of a wall clock. The center piece is mounted into the clock-receiving setting. A clock mechanism is mounted onto the center piece, opposite the clock-receiving setting. The clock mechanism may be any type of mechanism in order produce a clock movement for a wall clock. The clock mechanism includes a pair of clock hands to allow an individual to tell time from the constructed wall clock.
