Rotating bezel blocking device
A case for a timepiece having a middle, a rotating bezel, and a device for blocking the rotating bezel, the device including an end-link, mounted mobile relative to the middle between a first position capable of preventing the rotation of the rotating bezel and a second position capable of allowing the rotation of the rotating bezel, the end-link including an action and/or gripping portion arranged so as to allow the wearer of the timepiece to move the end-link relative to the middle, while wearing the timepiece.
Rotating GMT Watch Bezel With Minute Markers
A watch bezel provides a GMT function and a count-up time-tracking function. The watch bezel includes a first set of indicia to indicate 24 hours associated with the GMT function of the watch and a second set of indicia to indicate 60 minutes in an hour. When mounted or attached to the watch casing or body, the bezel is rotatable in the clockwise direction and in the counter-clockwise direction. The watch bezel enables a user to read or set the time associated with a secondary time zone without adjusting any hands on the watch. The second set of indicia comprises a plurality of incremental minute markers and allows a user to track elapsed time. The capability of tracking elapsed time allows the watch to be used in activities that require tracking of elapsed time such as diving or other sporting events.
Wearable electronic device and operation method thereof
A wearable electronic device and an operation method thereof are provided. The wearable electronic device includes a display configured to display a clock screen using an hour hand and a minute hand, and a processor configured to execute an application for displaying an icon including time information, and to display the icon in a location of the time information in a minute area of the clock screen or an hour rotation area of the clock screen when the application is executed.
ROTATING BEZEL BLOCKING DEVICE
A case for a timepiece having a middle, a rotating bezel, and a device for blocking the rotating bezel, the device including an end-link, mounted mobile relative to the middle between a first position capable of preventing the rotation of the rotating bezel and a second position capable of allowing the rotation of the rotating bezel, the end-link including an action and/or gripping portion arranged so as to allow the wearer of the timepiece to move the end-link relative to the middle, while wearing the timepiece.
Watch
Facilitate operations to release a bezel from a rotation prevented state and to rotate the bezel and avoid erroneously releasing the rotation prevented state. A timepiece includes a restrictor having engaging teeth and being movable between a restricted position and a release position by engaging/disengaging the engaging teeth with teeth of the bezel. The timepiece also has a holding mechanism holding the restrictor between a held state, i.e., restricted position and a non-held state. i.e., the release position. The holding mechanism includes two push-buttons and a release mechanism including a spring bar and engaging hole. The release mechanism switches the restrictor to the non-held state irrespective of a continuance of applying the pressing operation forces after the pressing operation forces are applied simultaneously to the two push-buttons.
WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
A wearable electronic device and an operation method thereof are provided. The wearable electronic device includes a display configured to display a clock screen using an hour hand and a minute hand, and a processor configured to execute an application for displaying an icon including time information, and to display the icon in a location of the time information in a minute area of the clock screen or an hour rotation area of the clock screen when the application is executed.
Timepiece
The present invention improves the weathering performance of a stopper structure preventing inadvertent rotation or a rotated body accommodated in a case. An operation member having a head portion rotated outside the case and a shaft portion inserted into a pipe so as to be movable between a first position and a second position that is outer than the first position. A stopper structure is provided inside the case to prevent rotation of the head portion when the operation member is positioned at the second position, whereas the stopper structure allows rotation of the head portion when the operation member is positioned at the first position.
