Also, a method of manufacturing this decorative item by injection moulding.

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).

An example wearable electronic device may include a main body including a first surface having an opening area formed therein, wherein a plurality of lateral walls, surrounding at least one part of the opening area, are formed in the peripheral area of the opening area; a display disposed inside the main body and which is viewable through the opening area; a wheel including a mounted part, which is at least partially mounted on the peripheral area, and an extension part which extends in the inward direction from the mounted part, wherein the wheel is formed in a ring shape extending in the circumferential direction with respect to a rotation axis of the wheel; and a guide member partially coming into contact with the main body and the wheel, respectively, and for guiding the rotation of the wheel. The guide member may include a first part having at least one portion thereof extending to a space between the plurality of lateral walls and a second part at least partially inserted to a first recess formed in each of the plurality of lateral walls.

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.

A method for assembling at least a first element and a second element to form, once assembled, an external component for a portable device, including the steps of: a) making the first element; b) making the second element; c) arranging at least a first groove in the first element and at least a second groove in the second element; d) placing and holding the first and second element end-to-end with at least a third connecting element which is inserted and locked in the first and second grooves.

An annular rotating bezel system includes a rotating bezel, a toothed ring having a toothing provided with a plurality of teeth regularly distributed over an edge of the 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 cooperates elastically with the toothed ring. The spring ring includes at least two lugs, each lug being configured to be elastically and radially engaged with the toothing of the toothed ring in at least one position of the bezel. At least two lugs are offset from each other by an offset angle, the or each offset angle between two successive lugs having a value different from an integer sub-multiple of 360 degrees, such that, in each position of the bezel, only one lug is elastically and radially engaged with the toothing of the toothed ring.

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).

A watch spring (1) for a first component (2), more particularly for a bezel or for a case middle or for a case back, intended for the detent of the first component (2) relative to a second component (3), the spring (1) comprising at least one first connecting element (10a) intended to interact with at least one second connecting element (20b) provided on a component (2b) of the first component so as to connect the spring and the component, the at least one first connecting element comprising at least one elastic connecting arm (10a) extending in a first direction (D1), the at least one first connecting element being intended to receive a force (F) for driving the first component relative to the second component in the first direction or substantially in the first direction.

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.
