Watch device having movable components
A watch device, more particularly an external watch device comprising two components (1, 21) linked to one another, the first component (1) comprising a first guiding element (10) and the second component (21) comprising a second guiding element (30), the two components being linked to one another in a movable manner by the cooperation of their respective guiding elements (10, 30), wherein the first guiding element (10) comprises a guiding surface in contact at least partially with the second guiding element (30), said guiding surface comprising a polymer material belonging to the family of polyaryl ether ketones (PAEK).
ITEM WITH A PLIQUE-À-JOUR ENAMEL DECORATION AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
A method for manufacturing an item (1) including a through-decoration (2) filled with an enamel (3) to form a plique--jour enamel. The method includes: obtaining a blank (5) defined with an upper face (5a) and a lower face (5b) opposite the upper face (5a); removing part of the blank (5) from the upper face (5a) to produce a decoration (2a) that does not pass through to the lower face (5b) or, alternatively, in the previous step, obtaining said blank (5) directly with the non-through decoration (2a); depositing one or more layers of enamel (3) within the non-through decoration (2a) and firing the enamel (3) after each 10 layer has been deposited; machining, preferably by grinding, the lower face (5b) to reveal the enamel (3) and thus produce the item (1) with the through-decoration (2) filled with enamel (3).
ENAMEL ENGRAVING AND TEXTURING METHOD
A method for engraving and texturing an item (1) including a decoration (2) filled at least partially with an enamel (3), the method including a laser ablation step using a femtosecond or picosecond laser on the surface of the enamel (3) and/or within the enamel (3) to produce a structure (7).
Multicolour cermet and/or ceramic article and manufacturing method thereof
Provided is a multicolour cermet and/or ceramic article, and in particular a bezel of a timepiece, made by a method for injecting at least two materials of distinct colours, said article comprising a relief decoration of a colour different from the rest of the article, said decoration being made by laser ablation after injection of the two materials.
Exterior member, case and timepiece
An exterior member that is favorably manufactured, a case having the exterior member and a timepiece having the case are provided. The exterior member includes an exterior main body section in which a first resin layer is provided on one side of a sheet member formed of carbon fiber and a cutout recess section from which a portion of the sheet member is exposed is provided in the first resin layer on the one side of the sheet member, and a protection member which covers the cutout recess section of the first resin layer. Accordingly, the exterior member is favorably manufactured with its strength being increased.
Electronic device and watch
An electronic device includes: a cylindrical device casing that houses a module; and a resin member provided on an outside of the device casing. The resin member prevents at least a circumferential surface and a bottom surface side of the device casing from being exposed outside.
