A shock-proof device (200) for a movement configured to allow the movement of the horological movement (210) along at least three degrees of freedom. The shock-proof device (200) includes at least one damping element (230) configured to damp the shocks of the horological movement (210) and a crown (100) configured to move between a first position (101) wherein the horological movement (210) is free along at least three degrees of freedom and a second position (102) wherein the horological movement (210) is rigidly connected to the crown (100).

A timepiece incudes a crown (4) housed in a cavity (10) provided in the case and open towards the outside, such as a cavity (10) in the side wall of the case (1) of a wristwatch, in the rest position of the crown (4). To bring the crown out of its rest position, the user rotates a rotary knurling-roller (5). The knurling-roller (5) is coupled to a tube (15) wherein is inserted a crown body (18) integral with the crown. The rotation of the knurling-roller actuates rotation as well as translation of the tube, which is linked only in translation to said cylinder (18). The tube displaces the crown in an axial direction without rotating the crown around its central axis (6). At least one control position of the crown and the rod can be reached, by rotating the knurling-roller (5) without having to manually pull the crown outwards.

A crown/pusher including a tube attached to a watch case, a recessed head integral with a stem which is movable with respect to the tube and defines an axis, the recessed head being mounted to move in rotation and in translation respectively around and along the axis of the stem, a return spring disposed around the stem, the crown/pusher includes a cage housing the spring, the cage being traversed by the stem and including an upper part integral with the recessed head and a lower part freely mounted with respect to the recessed head, the upper part cooperating with the lower part in order to drive the lower part in its rotational movement and in order to move in translation along the axis with respect to the lower part, the spring being compressed inside the cage in order to be driven in rotation with the cage.

The present invention relates to a crown-push-button (3) provided with a spring (10) disposed within a cage (11) integral in rotation with the movement of the head (4) of the crown-push-button (3), the spring (10) being arranged within the cage (11) so as to be rotated with the cage. The base (13c) of the spring cage is provided with cells (18) cooperating with protuberances (17) formed in a washer (14) disposed on the seat (6a) of the tube (6) of the crown-push-button, the rotation of the crown-push-button being then accompanied by a click as the protuberances (17) pass in the cells (18), which allows the user to ensure that the desired functions have been activated.

A remote control device for a horological movement of a watch wherein the remote control device includes an input control member intended to be acted on by a user and kinematically connected, with a connecting member, to an output control member intended to act on the horological movement of the watch, the connecting member being intended to be arranged such that it can rotate about the horological movement, and being configured such that it is driven in rotation by the input control member when the latter is acted upon, and such that it causes the output control member to move during this rotation.

A control device (10) for a horological movement, including a first part including a sliding guide tube (11) intended to be fixed relative to the horological movement, and a second movable part (12) slidably guided by the guide tube in an axial direction, relative to the first part, between an active position wherein it is able to be integral, by means of an adjustment rod (120), with a component of the horological movement, and an inactive position wherein the adjustment rod is intended to release the component of the horological movement. The second part includes a head (140) covering a reversible elastic casing module (130) fixed to the adjustment rod and arranged so as to occupy a rest state when the second part occupies the active and inactive positions and being urged by the guide tube when the second part moves between these positions.

An electronic device, such as a watch, has a crown assembly having a shaft and a user-rotatable crown. The user-rotatable crown may include a conductive cap that is mechanically and electrically coupled to the shaft and functions as an electrode. The conductive cap may be coupled to the shaft using solder or another conductive attachment mechanism. The shaft may electrically couple the conductive cap to a processing unit of the electronic device. One or more additional electrodes may be positioned on the exterior surface of the electronic device. The conductive cap is operable to be contacted by a finger of a user of the electronic device while another electrode is positioned against skin of the user. The processing unit of the electronic device is operable to determine a biological parameter, such as an electrocardiogram, of the user based on voltages at the electrodes.

A device for selecting and controlling functions of a horological movement, including a selector member arranged such that, when it is acted on, it causes a column wheel including a plurality of coaxial cams which are integral with one another for rotation as one, to rotate in a single direction of rotation, the device including a plurality of transmission yokes, each of which is arranged such that it bears against a cam specific thereto so as to be able to successively occupy, depending on the angular position of the cam, a rest position and an active position, each transmission yoke being configured such that when it occupies the active position, it is disposed in the path of a control member which is intended, when it is acted on from a rest position, to drive the transmission yoke located in an active position, towards a position for controlling a function specific thereto.
