An assembly (1) for measuring a relative humidity level inside a watch (2), the watch (2) provided with a movement (10) and a device (4) for determining the humidity level present in the enclosure (9) of a case (3) of this watch (2). The determination device (4) includes a receiver module (6a, 6b, 6c) for receiving at least one acoustic signal from a timepiece component (11) of said movement (10), and a control unit (7) connected to said receiver module (6a, 6b, 6c). The control unit (7) is configured to run a model for evaluating a water vapour content of a gaseous fluid contained inside the enclosure (9) based on the at least one acoustic signal received by the receiver module (6a, 6b, 6c).
Computer-implemented method and system for diagnosing mechanical default of a mechanical watch, and mechanical watch for implementing said method
A computer-implemented method for diagnosing mechanical default of a mechanical watch, wherein at least one vibration signal is acquired from the mechanical watch the vibration signal is analyzed by an artificial intelligence trained to detect mechanical default in mechanical watches to determine a diagnosis whether the mechanical watch is working properly or not.
COMPENSATION OF RATE VARIATION IN A WATCH
A method for compensating the rate as a function of the temperature of a watch (1). A water-resistant case (2) contains a movement (3) with an oscillator (4), in an internal volume V occupied by n moles of a gas of constant R, where the pressure coefficient Cp and the humidity coefficient Ch of the movement (3) are determined, an optimal value Cto of the thermal coefficient Ct of the oscillator (4) is calculated defining the relatively linear variation of the rate thereof as a function of the temperature T, compensating the pressure and humidity deviations. The pressure P and/or the constant R and/or the quantity of gas and/or the temperature T are varied in the case. In the factory, the thermal coefficient of elastic return, and/or the quantity and/or the nature of the gas in the watch, and/or the internal volume of the case (2) are modified.
