Description

Es ist bekannt, Uhren mit verschiedenen technischen Funktionen auszustatten, um dem Träger der Uhr nicht nur die Zeit anzuzeigen, sondern z. B. auch das Datum, Mondphasen, Wochen­ tage, Stopfunktionen usw . .
Es wird dadurch die Eigenschaft der Uhr, als technisches Instrument untermauert.It is known to equip watches with various technical functions in order not only to display the time to the wearer of the watch, but also e.g. B. also the date, moon phases, days of the week, stop functions, etc. .
It underpins the property of the watch as a technical instrument.

Dabei ist allerdings festzustellen, daß die Uhr mit zunehmender Zahl von Anzeigeinstru­ menten, immer unübersichtlicher wird, und gleichzeitig an schlichter Schönheit verliert.It should be noted, however, that the Clock with increasing number of display instru ment is becoming increasingly confusing, and at the same time loses its simple beauty.

Der im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Vielzahl von Anzeigeinstrumenten in der Uhr zu zeigen, ohne die Übersichtlichkeit und die schlichte Schönheit der Uhr zu verlieren, und eine weitere technische Raffinesse hinzuzufügen.The invention specified in claim 1 the problem is based on a multitude of display instruments in the watch to show without the clarity and the simple Losing beauty of the watch, and a add more technical sophistication.

Dieses Problem wird durch den im Patentanspruch 1 aufgeführten Einbau einer manuell focussier­ baren Blende gelöst. This problem is solved by the in claim 1 listed installation of a manually focused removable aperture.

B. nur die Stunde, Minute und Sekunde in der Anzeige sichtbar ist (siehe Fig. 1). Die Uhr wirkt schlicht, und erhält durch die Blende einen neuen technischen und ästhetischen Anspruch.The advantages achieved by the invention consist in particular in the fact that z. B. only the hour, minute and second is visible in the display (see Fig. 1). The watch looks simple, and the bezel gives it a new technical and aesthetic appeal.

Erst durch das Öffnen der Blende (siehe Fig. 2), werden dann die zusätzlichen Funktionen der Uhr sichtbar.Only by opening the bezel (see Fig. 2) will the additional functions of the watch become visible.

Die vollständig geöffnete Blende verschwindet unsichtbar im Ringgehäuse der Uhr.The completely open aperture disappears invisible in the ring case of the watch.

Weitere Verwendungen der Blende sind im Patent­ anspruch 2 angegeben und lassen sich wie folgt ausgestalten:Other uses of the bezel are in the patent Claim 2 indicated and can be as follows design:

  • 1. Die Blende kann im Design unterschiedlich gestaltet werden.1. The bezel can vary in design be designed.
  • 2. Durch den Einbau der Blende oberhalb sämtlicher Zeiger, kann die Uhr ganz verschlossen werden.2. By installing the panel above all Hands, the watch can be completely locked.
  • 3. Durch den Einbau der Blende anstatt eines Zifferblattes, kann wahlweise eine Skelett­ uhr erzeugt werden.3. By installing the bezel instead of one Dial, can optionally be a skeleton clock are generated.
  • 4. Durch den Einbau der Blende im Bodenbereich eines durchsichtigen Bodens, kann rückwärtig eine Skelettuhr erzeugt werden.4. By installing the cover in the floor area of a transparent floor, can backwards a skeleton clock can be generated.
  • 5. Durch den Einbau mehrerer Blenden können die Punkte 2-4 dieser Ausführungen gleich­ zeitig erreicht werden.5. By installing several panels points 2-4 of these explanations are the same can be reached in time.
