TIMEPIECE COMPRISING AN EXTERNAL ELEMENT PROVIDED WITH A ZIRCONIA PORTION
Provided is a timepiece including, in addition to a crystal, the following external elements: a back (2), a middle part (1), a dial (3), and two bracelet strands (30), at least one of these external elements includes a body formed of a first portion made of a first opaque material and of a second portion made of a second partially transparent or translucent material. The first material being integral with the second material and the timepiece also includes at least one light source (10) producing light which passes through the second portion made of a partially transparent or translucent ceramic material comprising zirconia.
Jewellery item
A timepiece includes a representation of a non-rectilinear object, the representation particularly including a movable element kinematically connected to a drive mechanism. The representation also includes at least one second movable element, the drive mechanism being arranged such that the movable elements each move, simultaneously and in synchronization, between a first and a second end position, and vice versa, the movable elements forming the representation at a first size and at a second size greater than the first, respectively, when the movable elements are in the first and second end positions thereof.
DEVICE COMPRISING DECORATIVE OBJECTS HAVING RESTRAINED FREEDOM TO MOVE AND SUSPENDED IN FLUID
A decorative, wearable system includes at least one decorative element mechanically and moveably suspended in a liquid by mechanical fixation elements. The liquid shares a substantially similar refraction index as at least one of mechanical fixation elements.

MECHANISM FOR MOVING AN OBJECT FOR A JEWELLERY OR COSTUME JEWELLERY ITEM
Mechanism (1) for moving an object (11), which is suitable for being integrated into a wearable jewellery or costume jewellery item (3), comprising: —a manual drive source (5) which is capable of being driven directly or indirectly by an action of a user and which is arranged to drive a transmission (9) following an action of a user; —a support system (13) which carries an object (11) which is intended to be moved in rotation about a first rotation axis (A1) under the effect of the manual drive source (5) by means of the transmission (9), characterised in that the support system (13) comprises a first frame (13b) which is mounted so as to pivot on a frame element about the first rotation axis (A1), and an internal frame (13f) which is mounted so as to pivot in the first frame (13b) about a second pivot axis (A2) which is substantially orthogonal to the first pivot axis (A1); and in that the object (11) is arranged to be driven by an eccentric drive element (15b) which is rigidly joined in rotation with a driving wheel (15) which is arranged to be driven by the transmission (9).
Pacing and prompting system and method
A system and method that enables a person to understand the concept of “a timed schedule” and/or a “timed task”, so that they can more efficiently and/or effectively perform vocational and other life tasks and skills.

Device comprising decorative objects having restrained freedom to move and suspended in fluid
A decorative, wearable system includes at least one decorative element mechanically and moveably suspended in a liquid by mechanical fixation elements. The liquid shares a substantially similar refraction index as at least one of mechanical fixation elements.
Timepiece
A timepiece includes a main plate, a rotating plate rotatable relative to the main plate around a predetermined central axis, a second gear rotatably supported on the rotating plate and rotating in synchronization with rotation of the rotating plate with respect to the main plate, and a rear decorative body that is linked with the second gear and displaced along a first direction extending radially with the central axis as a center when viewed from the rotating plate.
MECHANICAL TIMEPIECE WITH AN ANIMATED DISPLAY
Timepiece (1) comprising at least one mechanical movement (10) including at least a main plate (2), a resonator (11) and energy storage and distribution means (3) connected to an escape wheel set (4) by a going train (5), wherein at least one of the wheel sets, comprised in the going train (5) or an escapement mechanism (6) to which the escape wheel set (4) belongs, and which cooperates with the resonator (11), and which moves in a jerky or reciprocating motion during operation of the resonator (11), is a display wheel set (7) which includes at least two distinct pictures or patterns (8), which are arranged to move in succession before a fixed point of the main plate (2), during operation of the resonator (11), and to display thereon a sequence of animated images.
