The present invention relates to a watch bands made from a fluorinated polyurethane polymer comprising recurring units derived from at least one hydroxy-terminated (per)fluoropolyether polymer.

Attachment systems for attaching a wearable electronic device to a user including a sizing band and a retaining band are disclosed. The sizing band includes at least one sizing eyelet and a band-insertable end. The retaining band includes at least a post for insertion into the sizing eyelet of the sizing band and a concealment aperture configured to receive the band-insertable end of the sizing band. On a bottom surface of the retaining band can be a recessed guide bed configured to guide the band-insertable end along the bottom surface of the retaining band. A wearable electronic device can couple to both the sizing band and the retaining band by accepting an end portion of each band into receiving channels extending into opposite sidewalls of the housing.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an epilame mechanical part (2) comprising a substrate (4) made of a first material, the method comprising at least: a step (10) of depositing an epilame product (6) consisting of a second material on the substrate (4), said deposition being carried out in the form of a projection onto the substrate (4) of at least one collimated or localised beam (12; 12A, 12B) of material containing the epilame product (6); and a step (11) of treating the second material to ensure the cohesion of the components on the substrate (4).

A component mounting member, a case having the component mounting member, a timepiece having the case are provided by which a base member made of metal and a terminal are not electrically connected to each other even when the terminal is provided in the base member. Also, a manufacturing method therefor is provided. This component mounting member includes a back cover which is attached to a wristwatch case having an attachment hole, a terminal attachment member which is arranged in the attachment hole and thereby attached to the back cover, and charging terminals provided in and exposed from the terminal attachment member, in which the back cover is made of metal, and the terminal attachment member is made of an insulative resin. As a result of this structure, the back cover and the charging terminal provided therein are prevented from being electrically connected to each other.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a luminescent horological component for a portable object.

Attachment systems for attaching a wearable electronic device to a user including a sizing band and a retaining band are disclosed. The sizing band includes at least one sizing eyelet and a band-insertable end. The retaining band includes at least a post for insertion into the sizing eyelet of the sizing band and a concealment aperture configured to receive the band-insertable end of the sizing band. A bottom surface of the retaining band can be a recessed guide bed configured to guide the band-insertable end along the bottom surface of the retaining band. A wearable electronic device can couple to both the sizing band and the retaining band by accepting an end portion of each band into receiving channels extending into opposite sidewalls of the housing.

The slap watchband includes first and second band parts. Each part has an end adapted to attach to a conventional watch casing using a spring-loaded pin. Each part includes a flexible metal strip encased in plastic and a channel in the plastic located proximate the end adapted to receive a spring-loaded pin. The parts are formed in a multi cavity mold by introducing plastic into the mold cavities to form a plastic layer. A flexible metal strip is placed in each mold cavity over the plastic layer. A rod is inserted into the mold such that it extends across the each mold cavity at a location spaced from the metal strip. Additional plastic is introduced into the mold cavities over the flexible metal strip and rod to form another plastic layer. The mold is closed. Heat and pressure are applied to cure the plastic layers and the rod is removed.

A method for producing a partly transparent body with a color gradient, include: providing a transparent first casing having a first joint surface on a protrusion and including an encased object; providing a second casing which is not completely transparent and which has a second joint surface in a recess. The shape of the protrusion and the shape of the recess correspond to each other; and combining the first casing and the second casing by inserting the protrusion into the recess and melting the first joint surface of the first casing with the second joint surface of the second casing. A pressure force and a temperature are applied to the first joint surface and the second joint surface such that the first joint surface of the first casing transitions into the second joint surface of the second casing in a visually seamless manner, followed by a removal of material.

A method of manufacturing a decorative member, including: molding a base with a mold having a transferring surface, the transferring surface having a recessed area and the other area, the recessed area and the other area having different surface roughnesses in the base in a finished state; and treating a surface of the base molded by the transferring surface of the mold under a single condition.

The manufacturing method comprises at least one processing step for a carbon-carbon composite part (100, 200). In a first variant, the method comprises steps for machining and a step for processing the part. In a second variant, the method comprises a crushing step for the part before the processing step and a moulding step after the processing step. Application to manufacturing timepiece components (170, 270).
