A movable decorative element, intended to be freely rotated and translated between two walls (5, 6) whose inner faces are parallel to each other, at least one of which is transparent, includes a precious or semi-precious stone (2) mounted in a socket (1). The socket (1) includes a closed bottom (4) whose outer face is bulged to promote the rotation of the decorative element when this bulged outer face (7) is applied against the inner face of one of said walls, and an open outer (7) opposite to the bottom (4) which is flush with or which protrudes relative to the stone (2) to form a bearing surface against the other of said walls (5, 6) when the decorative element is disposed between the two walls. The precious or semi-precious stone (2) is held in its socket (1) by a plurality of arms (3) which extend above a body (8) of the socket (1) and which crimp the stone (2), these arms (3) leaving, therebetween and above the body (8) of the socket (1), lateral openings (9) letting appear the flanks of the stone (2) between the arms (3), and said bearing surface is constituted by the free ends of said arms (3) in the form of separate contact areas spaced from each other around the periphery of the open outer face (7) of the socket (1).

Watch or item of jewellery comprising a case or setting comprising main and secondary slots that enable the fixture of interchangeable removable wristbands comprising an end link with an end piece with studs arranged to cooperate in a complementary manner with these secondary slots, wherein this link comprises a lock with a slide catch arranged to cooperate in a complementary manner and with minimal play with the main slot in a locking position, towards which the slide catch is moved by elastic restoring means, wherein said lock comprises intrinsic unlocking means with a pushbutton operable by a user to move this slide catch away from the main slot and control an unlocking of the lock by retraction of the slide catch by an application of pressure to the pushbutton.

The invention relates to a timepiece comprising a watch case formed by a middle closed by a back and a crystal, the middle being equipped with horns defining a space for receiving a bracelet strand, said timepiece comprising a sole arranged to rest against the back, the sole, the bracelet strand and the space between the horns comprising shaped elements arranged to cooperate by interlocking when the middle, the sole and the strand are assembled.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first surface oriented in a first direction, a second surface oriented in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a side surface at least partially surrounding the space between the first surface and the second surface, a base ring located adjacent to an edge area of the first surface and rotatably mounted on the housing, a first ornamental ring detachably mounted on the base ring and configured to rotate relative to the housing together with the base ring, and an interference member configured to perform a linearly reciprocating motion between a first position and a second position closer to the second surface than the first position, the interference member being located adjacent to the base ring and the first ornamental ring. At the second position, the interference member may be configured to maintain or fix the base ring in a stationary state relative to the housing by being at least in partial contact with the base ring. Various other embodiments are possible.

A watch case including a middle and a hollow bezel provided with a near-field communication device including at least one microcircuit connected to an antenna, the bezel being removably mounted on the middle and formed by an assembly of two lining elements that could define a housing within which the near-field communication device is arranged, the first and second lining elements of the bezel being assembled together with a reversible fastening device.

The watch bezel system includes a bezel that is removable and replaceable with another bezel. The bezel is removed by pushing a button on the side of the watch case that retracts a pin residing in the case of the watch. At the same time, the user grasps the bezel with their other hand and twists the bezel clockwise and pulls the bezel away from the case of the watch. The replacement of the bezel is done by aligning the interlocking mechanism of the bezel with the interlocking mechanism of the case of the watch, then pushing the bezel against the case, and twisting counterclockwise. The bezel will self-lock in place with the pin attached to the case. When the button is released, the pin will automatically enter a recess in a slot in the bezel, locking the bezel in place, and keep the bezel from rotating or coming off the watch case. Additionally, the interlocking mechanisms on the case and bezel also keep the bezel from coming off the watch case. The pin is engaged and disengaged with the push button on the side of the case of the watch.

A timepiece includes a watch case formed by a middle closed by a back and a crystal, the middle being equipped with horns defining a space for receiving a bracelet strand, the timepiece including a sole arranged to rest against the back, the sole, the bracelet strand and the space between the horns having shaped elements arranged to cooperate by interlocking when the middle, the sole and the strand are assembled.

A watch cover that covers the face of a watch. The watch cover has a plurality of receivers around the circumference of the watch cover. The plurality of receivers receive either a plastic or a glass capsule that snaps into the plurality of receivers. The plastic or the glass capsules have removable caps that allow the plastic or glass capsules to be filled with either a liquid or solid material prior to the plastic or the glass capsules being snapped into the plurality of receivers. The watch cover can have two wrist bands that attach to the watch cover. The wrist bands will have a plurality of wrist receivers throughout the length of the wrist bands. The wrist receivers will receive either the plastic or the glass capsules after they are filled with the liquid or the solid materials.

A watch case including a middle defining a peripheral track; a rotating bezel; a toothed crown; a structure for detachably fastening the bezel on the middle with the possibility of axial clearance, the fastening structure includes a band supporting radially projecting fins, each capable of engaging with a bayonet formed in the middle; a coupling system including a male part and a female part, one of which is integral with the bezel and the other one of which is integral with the fastening structure, with this coupling system being able to adopt a decoupling configuration, in which the male part and the female part are decoupled, and a coupling configuration, in which the male part and the female part are coupled.

The present invention relates to a timepiece comprising: a housing (104) formed of a back plate (126), a side wall extending around the periphery of said back plate to form a rim (105), and a substantially transparent cover (102) extending across said rim (105) to form an enclosure; a horological mechanism mounted within said housing (104) adjacent to said back plate (126) and a time display means coupled to said horological mechanism by means of a shaft (116) and visible through said transparent cover (102); a face assembly including a tray (132) and a faceplate (136), the tray (132) comprising a substantially rigid base and having an elongate slot (136a) therein that extends from an open end at a peripheral edge of the base to a generally central location thereof, the slot (136a) having a width substantially equal to, or greater than, the diameter of said shaft (116), the faceplate (138) having a corresponding elongate slot (136b) therein and being configured to be received on said base such that their respective elongate slots (136a, 136b) are aligned; wherein the rim (105) of said housing includes an opening (130) therein configured to slidably receive into and remove from the housing (104), said tray (132) including a said faceplate (138), such that said shaft (116) is accommodated within said aligned slots (136a, 136b) and said faceplate (138) is substantially parallel to said cover (102); the time piece further comprising means for releasably fixing said face assembly within said housing.
