Exemplary arrangements relate to a universal world timepiece such as a clock having a movement (11) in connection with indicators such as hands (16, 18, 20). The timepiece includes a stationary oriented 24-hour clock face (101, 301, 401, 501) including hour marks for each hour, and a dial (103, 303, 403, 503) which is movable relative to the 24-hour clock face. The example dial has a unique icon such as a different Latin letter for each hour of the 24 hours. A computer (10) of the timepiece may operate to determine geographic coordinates and/or or to receive wireless time signals and to determine the time zone in which the timepiece is currently located. The computer operates to cause the dial to be rotatably positioned responsive to the time zone determination, to cause a particular icon to be linearly aligned with a particular hour mark of the clock face. The arrangement enables a time in a designated time zone such as world time to be read, along with the local time and enables users in various time zones with clocks including such dials to set a future appointment at the same real time through designation of an icon.

Disclosed is a display device for a timepiece movement including: an hour display wheel for a predefined time zone; and a chassis pivotable to cooperate with indications that are static relative to the frame of the timepiece movement to display information, the respective angular positions of the chassis and of the hour display wheel being indexed relative to each other so the angular position of the chassis is associated with the display of information relating to the predefined time zone. The device further includes a selection mechanism arranged: to rotate the hour display wheel, responsive to a predefined action by a user, between first and second positions associated with respective first and second time zones; and to simultaneously rotate the chassis in steps so that the chassis moves from a first position, associated with the first time zone, to a second position, associated with the second time zone.

A timepiece component (1) for a watch case, notably a bezel, comprising an axis (A), a first ring (10), a second ring (11) and a connecting element (12) for connecting the first and second rings, the connecting element being elastic and positioned between the first and second rings, the first ring and/or the second ring comprising an element (31) for retention on the rest of a watch case (200), particularly on a watch middle (4).

The invention relates to a timepiece comprising at least an hour indicator, a minute indicator, a movement arranged to drive the hour indicator and the minute indicator, a dial, a crown and an indicator for at least one time zone, housed inside a first case. According to the invention, the first case is rotatable inside a second case about an axis of rotation, so that a rotation of the first case in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction with respect to the second case allows a time zone to be chosen and the time in the selected time zone to be indicated.

A device for displaying at least one time-related magnitude including a timepiece movement including at least one time base and at least one energy source which extend in a first same plane, and at least one roller pivotably mounted about an axis of rotation A and which extends in a second plane parallel to the first plane, at least one roller including a display strip arranged on an outer periphery and on which at least one indication of the time-related magnitude is inscribed, the timepiece movement driving at least one roller in rotation about axis A via drive device which extend in the same second plane as at least one roller, at least one roller and the timepiece movement being centred on axis A.

An electronic timepiece includes: a bezel having location markers for indicating positions of the world; a second hand moving relative to the bezel; a memory storing time difference information in which each location marker is associated with information relating to a time zone to which a position indicated by each location marker belongs; and a controller performing operation control for moving the second hand relative to the bezel, and the bezel has a set exception indication position representing non-correspondence to any time zone associated with each location marker by being in a predetermined positional relationship with the second hand, and the controller causes the second hand and the exception indication position to be in the predetermined positional relationship when there is no location marker associated with a set time zone, during display relating to the set time zone for a date and time to be displayed.

An electronic device includes a case, a manipulation ring disposed on the case, a rotational unit, a waterproof member, and an optical tracking system (OTS) sensor. The case has a first chamber and a second chamber arranged outside the first chamber. The case has a thru-hole arranged between the first and second chambers. The rotational unit includes a shaft and a mating member arranged in the second chamber and connected to the shaft. The shaft has a first segment arranged in the first chamber and a second segment arranged in the thru-hole. The manipulation ring is spinable to rotate the mating member and the shaft. The waterproof member is configured to seal a gap between the second segment and an inner wall of the case defining the thru-hole. The OTS sensor is arranged in the first chamber and is corresponding in position to the first segment.

An electronic device according to an embodiment comprises a display unit configured to display a current value among a predetermined plurality of ordered values and a rotatable part configured to be rotatable clockwise and counterclockwise. The electronic device also comprises a computer processor configured to: change the current value being displayed to a next value among the plurality of ordered values in response to detecting the rotable part being rotated a first predetermined number of degrees clockwise, change the current value being displayed to a previous value among the plurality of ordered values in response to detecting the rotatable part being rotated counterclockwise by the first predetermined number of degrees, and accept the current value being displayed as a user input value in response to detecting a change in rotation direction of the rotatable part.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a security hub provides smart security notifications based on determined urgency levels. The hub comprises a communications interface and a computer processor operatively connected to the communications interface. The communications interface is configured to receive detection information from a plurality of sensors. The computer processor is configured to analyze the detection information, compare the detection information with past detection information, determine an urgency level on the basis of the analysis and comparison, and perform an action corresponding to the determined urgency level.
