Rotating-bezel system comprising a ceramic rotating bezel
A rotating-bezel system intended to be mounted for rotation on a watch-case middle inside which a horological movement is housed, including a ceramic rotating bezel, an annular ring intended to cooperate with an element angularly secured to the middle, and an annular joint for connection between the rotating bezel and the annular ring, the annular ring being placed in the rotating bezel. According to the invention, the system further includes at least one element for locking the annular ring on the rotating bezel, and at least one element being configured to lock any relative rotation between the annular ring and the bezel and to thus angularly secure the assembly formed by the ring and the bezel.
WATCH EQUIPPED WITH A DEVICE FOR LOCKING AN EXTERNAL CONTROL UNIT
A watch including a case (6) having a push-piece (8), movable in a radial direction, and a device (14) for locking the push-piece. The locking device includes a locking member (16) rotatably mounted about a central axis of the case and arranged to be actuated between a locking position, wherein the push-piece is stopped or blocked by the locking device so that the function cannot be activated by actuation of the control member, and an unlocking position wherein the push-piece is released and can then be actuated in said radial direction to allow the function to be activated. A rotating bezel (20) and the locking member are coaxial arranged so that they can each be rotatably actuated by the user independently of each other. Thus, the rotating bezel is independent of the locking function and can thus be dedicated to the chronograph mechanism and be in particular useful for diving.
Annular rotating bezel system comprising a spring ring
An annular rotating bezel system to be rotatably mounted on a case middle of a watch case inside which is housed a timepiece movement which extends in a plane, including a rotating bezel, an annular holding ring, a toothed ring, and a spring ring which extends in a plane in which it is capable of deforming elastically along a radius, the spring ring cooperating elastically with the toothed ring, the toothed ring and the spring ring being held in an axial direction perpendicular to the plane of the movement in the bezel by the annular holding ring, either the toothed ring or the spring ring being arranged to be angularly joined to the rotating bezel, and the other being arranged to be angularly joined to the case middle, wherein the spring ring has a thinned portion to increase the flexibility of the spring ring in its plane, the thinned portion having a tooth elastically and radially meshed with the toothed ring.
WRIST DEVICE
A wrist device includes: a first input detector that detects a first input operation; a second input detector that is different from the first input detector and that detects a second input operation; a cover that is movable between a first position and a second position, the cover in the first position exposing the first input detector, the cover in the second position covering the first input detector; and at least one processor that receives the first input operation and the second input operation. The processor receives the second input operation as a valid operation in a case where the cover is in the second position.
Timepiece comprising a movable element provided with a luminous index
The invention concerns a timepiece (1), notably a diver's watch, comprising a case (2) provided with a case middle (3), a light source (6), an element (4) movable between several positions relative to the case (2), and movable means for assembling the movable element (4) on the middle part (3) of the case (2). More particularly, the movable element (4) includes a light guide (10) and an upper cover (9) comprising an index (5), the guide (10) being configured to receive a light beam (8) from the light source through an entry face (12), and to guide light rays (18) through an exit face (15) of the light guide (10) in order to illuminate the index (5), whatever the position of the movable element (4) relative to the case (2).
Rotary bezel equipped timepiece
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.
Watch
The present disclosure includes a case body configured to accommodate a movement, and a rotating bezel attached to the case body. The rotating bezel includes a bezel body having an annular shape, and a display plate detachably attached to the bezel body. An engagement protrusion protruding toward the bezel body and being continuous in a circumferential direction is provided at the display plate. A plastic gasket having an annular shape is disposed between the bezel body and the engagement protrusion. A first recessed portion is provided in an outer circumference of the display plate. A second recessed portion is provided in the engagement protrusion of the display plate so as to correspond to a position of the first recessed portion.
Wristwatch
A wristwatch includes an outer case that comprises an opening portion, a windshield glass disposed in the opening portion, a crown arranged at a side surface of the outer case, a bezel arranged around the windshield glass, a protective member fixed to a side surface at which the crown of the outer case is disposed, wherein the protective member has a notch portion that covers at least a portion of a side surface of the outer case and at least a portion of a side surface of the bezel and exposes the crown.
Timepiece including a device for locking a valve or a winding button
A timepiece includes a locking device capable of blocking the translation of a valve or of a control member in the position the closest to the central axis of the case. The locking device includes a blocking element capable of undergoing translational displacement along a radial axis between a locking position and an unlocking position, where the member is respectively blocked or free to move in translation, a part mounted such that it can move in rotation about the central axis of the case and intended to be set in rotation by a user, drive device linking the angular displacement of the part mounted such that it can move in rotation to the translational displacement of the blocking element between the locking and unlocking positions.
Watch case with interchangeable rotating bezel
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.
