Crown for an electronic watch
An electronic watch includes a housing, a display positioned at least partially within the housing, a cover covering at least part of the display, and a crown having a portion positioned along a side of the housing. The crown may include an inner member that is rotationally constrained relative to the housing and an outer member that is rotationally free relative to the inner member. The device may further include a rotation sensor configured to sense a rotation of the outer member relative to the inner member.
DISPLAY PANEL
A display panel includes a plate-shaped decoration member including a shading part and a light transmission part formed within the shading part, as well as a plate-shaped reflection member disposed on a back side of the decoration member. The shading part and the light transmission part create a fine pattern in a plan view. The reflection member is configured to reflect light. The decoration member is disposed on a front surface of the reflection member.
Electronic watch

Structure for limiting movement of rotatable member and electronic device comprising same
Various embodiments of the present invention relate to an electronic device and, more specifically, to a rotatable member and an electronic device comprising same. Various embodiments of the present invention may provide a structure for limiting movement of a rotatable member, comprising: a housing; an edge part disposed on one surface of the housing; a wheel structure which is spaced apart from the edge part on the one surface of the housing by a predetermined distance and is rotatably installed along the edge part; and a ring structure, disposed in a space formed between the wheel structure and the edge part, for coupling the wheel structure and the edge part to each other, wherein at least a part of the ring structure is supported by the wheel structure so that the horizontal movement of the ring structure is limited, and at least a part of the ring structure has a hook and is supported by the edge part so that the wheel structure is pressed toward the housing due to the bending of the ring structure.
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A PLURALITY OF GENERATORS ADAPTED FOR A HOROLOGICAL APPLICATION
A method for manufacturing a plurality of generators, each intended to power supply an electronic circuit operating in a given power supply voltage range, includes a step of manufacturing coils distributed in N pluralities of coils, similar within the same plurality and different from one plurality to another, and a step of manufacturing a plurality of rotors which is carried out with tolerances limiting the cost of production. The plurality of rotors is classified into N classes of rotors which are associated respectively with the N pluralities of coils to form N pairs allowing the assembly of N groups of generators. The generators of each of the N groups of generators have magnetic coupling factors between their rotor and their stator which are located in a corresponding optimised value range, which is at least partially superimposed on the others of the N optimised value ranges relating to the N generator groups.
Electronic timepiece
An inverted-F antenna is included in an electronic timepiece without increasing the thickness of the electronic timepiece. In an electronic timepiece having a dial, a plastic calendar plate disposed on the back cover side of the dial, and a main plate disposed on the back cover side of the calendar plate, a first conductor element, second conductor element, and a shorting element shorting the first conductor element and second conductor element are formed in unison with the calendar plate, enabling the calendar plate to function as an inverted-F antenna. The first conductor element is disposed on the dial side surface of the calendar plate, and superimposed with the dial in a plan view. The second conductor element is disposed on the main plate side of the calendar plate, and superimposed in the plan view with the first conductor element. The shorting element is disposed to the side of the calendar plate.
Timepiece movement
A timepiece movement includes a movement case, a drive mechanism, a time mechanism driven by the drive mechanism, a day mechanism, and a day adjustment mechanism. The day mechanism is driven by the time mechanism through a frictional engagement therebetween. Once a torque generated by the day adjustment mechanism overcomes the frictional engagement, the day mechanism is permitted to be driven by the day adjustment mechanism. Therefore, an indicated day of the timepiece movement can be adjusted without pulling out of a day adjustment knob or an actuating shaft of the day adjustment mechanism.
TIMEPIECE COMPRISING A GENERATOR AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING SUCH A GENERATOR
A timepiece and method for mounting a generator in the timepiece, this generator being formed of a rotor with permanent magnets and two coils. A supporting structure is preassembled with the rotor and an electronic module including the two coils is preformed. The method includes the following successive steps for laterally mounting the electronic module in the supporting structure so as to form the generator; assembly of an electronic module support with the supporting structure to form an articulation; rotation of the electronic module thanks to the articulation to bring the two coils closer to the axis of rotation of the rotor, so that these two coils are finally each located in a functional position at the same distance from the axis of rotation of the rotor; fastening of the electronic module to block the articulation after said rotation and thus maintain this electronic module in a functional angular position.
Movement and timepiece
A train wheel unit is provided with a first wheel which is configured by a material including a conductive polymer and a carbon powder, and a second wheel which is configured by a metal material. The train wheel unit transmits a drive force of an electric motor module which is driven using a battery as an electrical power source.
