To prevent an erroneous operation and improve operability, a button device and a timepiece including the button device are provided. The button device includes: a cylindrical first guide protector 11 protruding from the lateral face of a wristwatch case 1; and a first button 12 disposed in the first guide protector 11 to be slidable inward and outward of the wristwatch case 1. The first button 12 includes a first button head 13 disposed in the first guide protector 11, and a first button shaft 15 passing through a first through hole 14 of the wristwatch case 1. The first button head 13 is inclined obliquely upward relative to the lateral face of the wristwatch case 1. The first guide protector 11 protects the outer periphery of the first button head 13, and this prevents accidental and erroneous operation of the first button 12. The first button head 13 is inclined obliquely upward relative to the lateral face of the wristwatch case 1, and this allows the user to easily place a fingertip on the outer end face of the first button head 13, and so improves the operability of the first button 12.

A stator includes a magnetic plate material that has a main plate surface that is a surface to face a main plate of a movement when assembled to the main plate and that has a rotor accommodating hole formed in a part thereof; and a non-magnetic region that is made non-magnetic by applying chromium on the main plate surface around the rotor accommodating hole and irradiating the chromium with a laser from the main plate surface side.

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 plan view. The reflection member is configured to reflect light. The decoration member is disposed on a front surface of the reflection member.

A dial including a projection piece projecting in a radial direction and a pin projecting from the projection piece. In addition, an electronic device including a case having a switch provided on an outer circumferential surface, and a dial arranged in the case, in which the dial includes a projection piece that projects from an outer circumferential surface opposing the switch and comes in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the case.

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.

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.

A skeleton watch includes a case middle which defines an interior space, a crystal and a back cover fixed to the case middle on either side of the middle to enclose the interior space, and a movement. The movement includes an openworked frame having a front face and a back face, the frame including an outer perimeter formed by two side positions, a top bar that connects between upper ends of the side posts, and a lower platform connected to lower ends of the side posts. The frame includes a central island positioned within the outer perimeter. The movement also includes a minute hand and an hour hand mounted on a central arbor integral with the frame. The movement also includes a motor having an electromagnet that extends outside of the outer perimeter of the frame in a radial direction from the central arbor.

An electronic watch includes: an outer case; a dial; a first pointer that includes a first conductive portion, and is disposed between the dial and a cover member; a second pointer that includes a second conductive portion, and is disposed farther away from the dial than the first pointer is; an antenna including a first conductor element disposed between the dial and a case back, a second conductor element that is disposed farther away from the dial than the first conductor element is and overlaps the first conductor element, and a short-circuit element that short-circuits the first conductor element and the second conductor element; and a drive unit that moves the first pointer or the second pointer such that the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion overlap each other for a part of a period of reception processing in which the antenna is used.

A smart watch interacting method comprises: obtaining a rotation direction and rate information of a rotary knob; obtaining a displacement information of the rotary knob; querying an interacting mapping library to determine an operation instruction according to the rotation direction and rate information and the displacement information of the rotary knob; and displaying an interacting operation on the user interface according to the operation instruction.

A micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) driving arrangement for an electronic device, the micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) driving arrangement including a driven wheel; a driving actuation assembly for causing rotation of the driven wheel; an indicator assembly including an indicator; and a force absorbing assembly coupled intermediate the indicator assembly and the driven wheel; whereby a force acting upon the indicator assembly is absorbed by the force absorbing assembly so as to inhibit rotation of the driven wheel relative to the driving actuation assembly.
