A bracelet or strap for a watch case including a first arm inside which is housed a first printed circuit portion and a second arm, where the first arm is extended by a median part arranged to be situated underneath the watch case and which includes a second printed circuit portion connected to the first printed circuit portion by electrical connection, where the first printed circuit portion carries at least one electrical energy source and a microcontroller for powering and controlling a pressure sensor, where the median part is covered by an insert arranged to act as a seat for the watch case, where a housing, inside which the pressure sensor is arranged, is provided in the insert and communicates with the exterior to allow the pressure sensor to be placed in contact with a surrounding medium, and the pressure sensor is mounted on the second printed circuit portion with the insertion of a sealing gasket between the housing and the second printed circuit portion.

An electronic timepiece includes a letter plate that has an ALT region, a BAR region, and a COM region and a first display hand that displays indication of an altitude display mode by pointing the ALT region, displays indication of a barometric display mode by pointing the BAR region, and displays indication of an azimuth display mode by pointing the COM region. In the letter plate, the ALT region, the BAR region, and the COM region are arranged in a line in this sequence. In a rotation direction of the first display hand, a distance between the ALT region and the BAR region and a distance between the BAR region and the COM region are shorter than a distance between the COM region and the ALT region.

An annular fluidic device includes a closed annular tube, wherein the tube includes at least one portion of transparent wall and contains a rigid torus bathed in a fluid filling the internal volume of the tube, in that the torus is arranged to be movable in the tube, and wherein at least one permanently polarised magnetic element integral with the torus allows it to undergo a moment of force causing it to be aligned in the direction of the external magnetic vector. A watch case can include this device.

Sealed device for calibrating an altitude measurement device comprising an atmospheric pressure sensor whose movements of deformation are converted, via a transmission system, into a pivoting motion of an activation system that drives the pivoting of an indicator hand, wherein a sensing element bearing on the atmospheric pressure sensor is rigidly fixed to a transmission shaft movable along its longitudinal axis of symmetry, wherein the calibration device includes an air intake that can adjust the pressure inside the calibration device as required, and also includes a first button via which the axial position of the transmission shaft can be adjusted, and a second button via which it is possible to move the atmospheric pressure sensor up or down. The invention also concerns a method for calibrating the altitude measurement device using the sealed calibration device.

An electronic timepiece includes: a 6 o'clock information display unit that displays one display mode among a plurality of display modes including a barometric display mode in which a barometric pressure is displayed, using a first display hand; a 10 o'clock information display unit that displays a change in the barometric pressure using a second hand in a case in which the display mode displayed by the 6 o'clock information display unit is the barometric display mode; a 2 o'clock information display unit that displays the barometric pressure using measurement display hands in the case in which the display mode displayed by the 6 o'clock information display unit is the barometric display mode; and a time display unit that displays a time using an hour hand and a minute hand irrespective of the display mode.

A portable object includes a case forming a housing in which is arranged a device requiring air to operate. The case includes at least a first opening. The portable object further includes a closure device provided with a valve system arranged to have a first stable, open position in which the orifice is open and allows air to pass through, and a second stable, closed position, in which the orifice is closed so that the portable object is impermeable to gases and to liquids. Switching from the open position to the closed position is automatic in case of immersion.

The invention relates to an electronic strap for a timepiece, comprising: a printed circuit board an insert disposed on the printed circuit board, comprising a guide element provided to be placed between and fixed to a pair of horns of a watch case (BM), the guide element comprising a lightwave guide comprising: an input disposed on an interface between the guide element and the printed circuit board a first output disposed so as to be opposite a first zone of the watch case (BM) between the two horns when the guide element is placed between and fixed to the pair of horns a first portion connecting the input to the first output a lightwave emitter installed on the printed circuit board, at the level of the input of the wave guide.

A barometer clock includes a clock face, a clock mechanism, and a spindle located in the face and driven by the mechanism. A barometer mechanism includes a barometric sensor, drive means and drive shaft and a plurality of display members located behind the clock face, each member engaged to the drive shaft by a gear mechanism and rotatable by the shaft in response to a signal by the barometric sensor. The clock face includes an aperture, each display member being rotatable between a respective visible location wherein the display member may be observed through the aperture and a hidden location wherein the display member is concealed by the clock face. The gear mechanisms are adapted to successively move the display members between hidden and visible locations as the drive shaft rotates to provide a display characteristic of weather conditions associated with pressure conditions measured by the barometric sensor.
