A watch includes a watch body, a watch face attached to the watch body and having an opening, and a pointer. The pointer includes an extension portion disposed to sandwich the watch face between the extension portion and the watch body and extending from the opening to face an upper surface of the watch face, and a support portion protruding from the watch body into the upper surface of the watch face via the opening, and connected directly to the extension portion. The pointer includes a change portion formed in the extension portion to change a posture of the extension portion such that a front end of the extension portion is raised with respect to a base end of the extension portion to be apart from the watch face. The watch face is removed from the watch body along the extension portion raised by the change portion.

A display mechanism for a watch and a watch including the display mechanism, which includes a display for displaying information, a first and second mobile elements and a support, so that when the first mobile element moves with a first primary speed, the second mobile element moves into a first position so as to cover the display and when the first mobile element moves with a first secondary speed, the second mobile element moves into a second position so as to expose the display. Thus, the display can be exposed which allows to maximize the display surface when information is present on the display.

A display mechanism of a watch including at least one indicator member and a drive member assembly. The indicator member is mounted to rotate about a first axis of rotation and is configured to indicate a time. The indicator member also has a second axis of rotation extending along the indicator member and a rotary element mounted to rotate about the second axis of rotation. The drive assembly includes a first drive member and a second drive member such that the first drive member drives the rotary element when it is moving about the first axis of rotation.

A watch includes a watch body, a watch face attached to the watch body and having an opening, and a pointer. The pointer includes an extension portion disposed to sandwich the watch face between the extension portion and the watch body and extending from the opening to face an upper surface of the watch face, and a support portion protruding from the watch body into the upper surface of the watch face via the opening, and connected directly to the extension portion. The pointer includes a change portion formed in the extension portion to change a posture of the extension portion such that a front end of the extension portion is raised with respect to a base end of the extension portion to be apart from the watch face. The watch face is removed from the watch body along the extension portion raised by the change portion.

A timepiece allowing accurate positioning of a display plate and a plate member is to be provided. A timepiece 10 includes: a main plate 2 having one or more positioning portions 21 and 22; a plate member 3 having one or more first positioning receiving portions 33 to be locked to the positioning portions 21 and arranged so as to overlap the main plate 2; and a display plate 5 having one or more second positioning receiving portions 55 to be locked to the positioning portions 22 and arranged so as to overlap the plate member 3.

A pointer including a pointer body formed of synthetic resin, and a pointer attachment section formed of a material harder than the synthetic resin and provided in a rotation center portion of the pointer body, in which the pointer attachment section comprises a large-diameter section to which the pointer body is fixed and which includes a positioning section, and a small-diameter section which is provided coaxially with the large-diameter section and to which a pointer shaft is attached.

A display hand intended to equip a timepiece, including a body and a pipe, providing an arbor hole arranged for fitting the display hand onto a drive arbor. The body is made of a composite material, the pipe includes, over all or part of the outer periphery, a surface for connection to the hand body to ensure the adhesion of the composite material to the pipe.

A module including a hand driving mechanism section which drives a hand shaft to which hands are attached so as to move the hands, and a display section which is arranged in parallel with the hand driving mechanism section and displays information.

Process for manufacturing a hybrid timepiece component, comprising structuring at least one wafer (14) of a first micromachinable material so as to form at least one through-opening (15) within the wafer (14), said structured wafer (14) being intended to form a first part (4) of the hybrid timepiece component; and depositing a metal by electroforming, so that the metal extends through the through-opening (15) and over the two upper and lower faces of the wafer (14) as a single piece resulting from one and the same electroforming step, the electroformed metal being intended to form a second part (8) of the hybrid timepiece component.

A timepiece includes a movement and a dial. The movement includes a first hand shaft to which a first hand is attached, a second hand shaft to which a second hand is attached, and an escapement speed control mechanism including a balance and a balance bush configured to support the balance pivotally. The dial includes a lower plate and an upper plate. The lower plate includes a lower plate ring portion and a frame portion. The upper plate includes an upper plate ring portion and a bridge portion. A lower plate opening is formed in the lower plate. An upper plate opening is formed in the upper plate. At least part of the frame portion is provide below the upper plate opening. At least part of the lower plate opening is provided below the upper plate opening. The bridge portion includes a first through hole and a second through hole into which the first hand shaft and the second hand shaft can be inserted, respectively, and a third through hole formed at a position overlapping with the balance bush in plan view.
