The present invention relates to a manufacturing process for a watch component (50) in composite material with a ceramic matrix comprising the following steps: depositing in a mould a succession of layers (10, 20, 30, 40) each comprising a ceramic powder (12), at least one layer (10; 10, 30; 10, 20, 30, 40) further including fibres (14) mixed with the ceramic powder (12), the fibres (14) being arranged randomly; performing a FAST/SPS sintering operation; demoulding the sintered watch component comprising the succession of layers (10, 20, 30, 40), and optionally machining the sintered component to the final dimensions of the watch component (50). The fibres (14) are visible on the surface of the watch component (50).

A method for manufacturing an external component for horology or jewellery made of a composite material including a reinforcement formed of a preferably perforated structure and a matrix composed of a synthetic material, the method including the successive steps consisting in: a) making a 3D file of the reinforcement, b) forming the reinforcement by additive manufacturing, c) embedding all or part of the reinforcement in the synthetic material. An external component for horology or jewellery can be made of a composite material including a matrix composed of a synthetic material and a reinforcement having a perforated structure obtained by additive manufacturing.

A band for a wearable device includes a first strap having a magnetic insert defining an array of holes, and a second strap having a magnetic protrusion configured to be at least partially disposed in a respective hole of the array of holes and to magnetically couple to the magnetic insert. A method of manufacturing a magnetic strap for a wearable device includes disposing a magnetizable insert between a first layer and a second layer, and coupling the first layer to the second layer such that the magnetizable insert is retained between the first layer and the second layer. The magnetizable insert includes a magnetizable material suspended in a polymer.

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).
