A timepiece including a case middle, a bezel, rotatably mounted on the case middle, and an actuation member including a cover capable of adopting a retracted position and a deployed position relative to the case middle, the cover being provided with a bearing surface actuatable by the user's finger, wherein the cover includes a shoulder distinct from the bearing surface, the shoulder being intended to cooperate with the bezel when the cover is in the retracted position.

A wristwatch including a watch case, a bezel mounted to rotate on the watch case, and a dial including at least one luminous index. The luminous index is illuminated through the dial by at least one light source disposed underneath the dial and powered by an electrical energy source. An activation component for activating the light source is housed inside the rotating dial and cooperates with a detection element housed inside the watch case. The activation component, in a determined position of the rotating bezel, detects presence of the activation component by the detection element. The detection element then emits an electrical signal addressed to a microprocessor circuit housed inside the watch case. The microprocessor circuit emits in response to reception of the electrical signal emitted by the detection element an electrical signal that activates lighting of the light source for a determined period of time.

A watch case including a middle defining a peripheral track; a rotating bezel; a toothed crown; a structure for detachably fastening the bezel on the middle with the possibility of axial clearance, the fastening structure includes a band supporting radially projecting fins, each capable of engaging with a bayonet formed in the middle; a coupling system including a male part and a female part, one of which is integral with the bezel and the other one of which is integral with the fastening structure, with this coupling system being able to adopt a decoupling configuration, in which the male part and the female part are decoupled, and a coupling configuration, in which the male part and the female part are coupled.

A rotary bezel equipped timepiece includes a glass frame that holds a windshield member, a rotary bezel so provided as to be rotatable relative to the glass frame, a resin member attached to the outer circumferential surface of the glass frame, and a gasket disposed between the resin member and the inner circumferential surface of the rotary bezel.

Bezel (10) for the case (100) of a timepiece (200), having an axis (A1), a first component (1) including a first surface (1a), and a second component (2) including a second surface (2a), the first and second surfaces being positioned at least substantially facing and/or at least substantially perpendicular to the axis (A1), the first and second surfaces being intended to interact by blocking with the axial retaining element (4) positioned on a middle (6).

A wearable device and a method for performing one or more actions using a wearable device are disclosed. The wearable device includes a bezel ring, a watch dial a flexible ring, and a plurality of springs. The bezel ring includes a plurality of holes along a circumference of the bezel ring for placement of a plurality of magnets. The watch dial includes an outer periphery with another plurality of holes at a uniform distance. The watch dial also includes an inner periphery to house inertial sensors at a predetermined position. The flexible ring placed in between an inner surface of the bezel ring and the watch dial. A plurality of springs are placed within the other plurality of holes of the outer periphery of the watch dial. The bezel ring is configured to support at least one of tilting, shifting and rotation over the watch dial.

Disclosed in the present disclosure is a wrist-worn apparatus. The wrist-worn apparatus includes a middle bezel, a display module and a plurality of functional modules, wherein the display module is mounted to the middle bezel, a display area of the display module is located at an inner side of the middle bezel, the plurality of functional modules are mounted on the middle bezel, and each of the functional modules is at least partially located on an outer peripheral side of the display area. According to the technical solution of the present disclosure, the occupancy of a mounting space of the display module by the functional modules can be reduced.

Exterior sub-assembly for a timepiece or watch or piece of jewelry, comprising a first component and a second component, arranged for a bayonet fitting between two rims and two wings comprised in the first component and the second component, and able to occupy an assembled and indexed position of the first and second components, this sub-assembly including a third component in the form of a ring, inserted between the first and second components and comprising a ring-like element housed inside a groove of the first or second component, this third component including a rotational stop with respect to the first or second component, and a resilient area with radial relief, cooperating in an angular indexing arrangement with a lug of the first or second component which is free to rotate with respect to the third component.

An exterior sub-assembly for a timepiece or watch or piece of jewelry, including a first component and a second component, arranged for a bayonet mount between two rims and two wings comprised in the first component and the second component, and capable of occupying an assembled and indexed position of the first and second components, this sub-assembly including a third ring-shaped component inserted between the first and second components, fixed in rotation with respect to one of these components and including an elastically deformable area, opposing a variable resistance torque to any relative tangential torque between the first and second components, and including a catch cooperating with a relief portion of the component that is not connected to the third component, wherein one particular catch angularly indexes these first and second components.

Each type of metal component part for two or more watch designs can be derived from instances of that corresponding type of MIM blank for that component part, which is formed from a same injection molding tool (respectively for each type of component part). An example instance of the MIM blank formed for a type of component part then has at least a portion of the instance of the MIM blank subtracted through a CNC milling process to form an interim shape and geometry of an instance of the type of component part for a given watch design. The CNC milling process can be applied to the MIM blank for that component part when the MIM blank is in its interim shape and geometry and has not yet been hardened to a finished shape and geometry of an instance of that type of component part for the watch design.
