Definitions

  • the information which the known devices, in accordance with the preamble of claim 1, are intended to protect, consists of advertisements which it is intended to appear on sheets of paper and each of which is placed in a recess in the bottom of a watch case protected by a one-way crystal set in this back (CH-A-29 191).
  • watches equipped with these known protective devices are intended for merchants, for example coffee, who distribute them free of charge, as gifts, to their best customers. These are therefore relatively inexpensive watches, the protective device of which clearly does not aim to prevent fraudulent copies.
  • Similar devices have also been associated with the movement of the watch, essentially with the aim of simplifying the numbering. They include a plate glued into a recess in the plate of the watch movement. If the plate is transparent, the serial number of the movement is applied to its reverse; if it is metallic, it is applied to the obverse (US-A-3,983,386).
  • the device defined by claim 1 puts a brake on counterfeits.
  • the transparent sapphire plate that it includes is not a common product. For those who are not seriously installed in the sector, obtaining it would represent a big investment. Ensuring an indissoluble bonding to a part of the watch case without compromising the transparency does not enter the ropes of those who try, at low cost, to pass their junk for parts of major brands. Thus, the indications of origin, which appear through such a brochure, give the general public a serious guarantee of their authenticity.
  • claim 3 allow the manufacturer or its distributors to individualize each watch produced or sold, thereby making it possible to quickly distinguish them from counterfeits.
  • the authentication plate can, at the discretion of the producer, be glued to practically any of the parts of a watch case.
  • the first four embodiments relate to watches in which the glass completely covers the case, which is designed as described in European patent application No. EP-A-0 064 951 of the applicant (published on 17.11.82).
  • the ornamental, non-transparent elements which constitute the visible face of the box surrounding the dial, therefore form a one-piece assembly with the glass, to which they are permanently attached and this assembly is fixed by screws engaged from the bottom side of the box in sockets integral with said assembly and located under its ornamental elements, these screws serving at the same time for fixing the bottom.
  • the glass 1 itself, made of sapphire, has the general shape of a rectangle. Its angles are cut. Its upper face 2, flat, is framed by bevels 3, 4, 5.
  • the periphery of the glass 1 is opacified by ornamental elements (not shown) permanently fixed to the flat lower face 6 of the glass 1 and extending up to at the edge 7 of the transparent area of the glass, through which the watch face appears.
  • a rectangular plate 8, also made of transparent sapphire, is indissoluble glued to the face 2 of the glass 1 and embossed thereon.
  • the adhesive must however be applied with care, in order to ultimately form a thin film, absolutely compact, that is to say free of air bubbles under the entire surface of the wafer 8, but without overflowing this last.
  • the adhesives which can be used for this purpose are relatively fluid in the latent state. Some take only under the action of ultraviolet rays; others under the effect of heat at a determined temperature, but this then very quickly. When the wafer 8 has thus been glued to the glass 1, no difference in transparency can be discerned between the area of the glass 1 covered by the wafer 8 and the rest of the glass 1.
  • bevels 9 are formed along the upper edges of the plate 8.
  • Fig. 1 shows that indications 10, 11 appear through the plate 8.
  • One of them, 10, is constituted by the trademark of the watch.
  • This can be applied to the face 6 of the glass 1 by vacuum spraying, for example at the same time as such a layer is formed on this face to opacify a peripheral zone.
  • the mark 10 can also be applied in the same way on the face 2 of the glass 1.
  • this mark 10 will however be applied in the manner described on the reverse of the wafer 8. In this way, the mark 10 will always be well centered in the plate 8, even if the latter should not be glued to the glass 1 in the exact desired position.
  • the reverse of the plate 8 can also serve as a receptacle for other indications than the trademark, such as it, to authenticate the origin of the watch.
  • the indication 11 in FIG. 1 composed for example of specific letters and numbers, may constitute, in combination with the analogous indication 12, engraved on the bottom 13 of the watch case (Fig. 3), a code making it possible to individualize each watch produced. To do this, it suffices to modify at least one of the indications 11, 12 from one watch to another. In this way, a determined pair of indications 11, 12 will only be found on one of the watches produced. By listing these pairs of indications for the agencies that represent the brand, they can immediately distinguish a watch whose origin is authentic from a counterfeit.
  • the application of the device according to the invention is not limited to rectangular watches. It can be used with the same advantages, for example in the case of round watches, as shown in the second embodiment (Fig. 4 and 5).
  • it is a plate 14, also circular, which is bonded to the round glass 15 covering the entire upper face of the case of the watch.
  • Indications 16, 17, of the same nature as indications 10, 11 of the first embodiment, are applied to the reverse of the plate 14.
  • the latter is glued in the zone 18 of the glass 15, which is opacified by the ornamental elements 19 glued under the periphery of the glass 15 (Fig. 5).
  • the third embodiment shows in particular a plate 20, the same shape as the glass 1 and which is just a little smaller than the flat upper face 2 of the latter.
  • the plate 20 thus extends above the zone 21 of the glass 1, which is opacified by the ornamental elements (not shown) that the planar lower face 6 of the glass carries at its periphery.
  • the plate 20 not only has the effect of enriching the relief of the glass, by making it appear with a well-worked external face, but also that of enhancing the appearance of the ornamental elements of the area.
  • the round plate 25 of the fourth embodiment (Fig. 8 and 9), glued to the round glass 15, shows that a large plate is also usable in the case where the housing is round and has its upper face entirely covered by glass.
  • the watch glass is not the only support capable of receiving an authentication plate such as those described in the first four embodiments.
  • the plate 8 can be glued to the part of the frame 27 extending beyond the glass 26, as shown in the fifth embodiment (Fig. 10 and 11).
  • the sixth embodiment shows that the same possibility also exists for the round plate 14, which is glued to the ring 28, itself glued under the glass 29.
  • the bottom of the housing can also serve as a support for a plate of the kind described above. If it is rectangular, like the bottom 30 of the seventh embodiment (Figs. 14 and 15), the plate 31 that will be glued to it will have a shape harmonizing with that of the bottom, and we will also glue a circular plate 32 on the bottom 33 of a round housing (Figs. 16 and 17).
  • the reverse of the sapphire plate can naturally serve as a receptacle for indications of a nature to authenticate the origin of the watch, such as the trademark and / or a trade mark.
  • encrypted indication which, in combination with a second indication, also encrypted, but different, applied to another visible part of the watch, will form an identification code of the producer or distributor of these watches, individualizing each of these.
  • the authentication plates described can also be bonded to other materials than sapphire glass, the hard metal of the frame or ring appearing as a bezel or the steel of the back, for example on a bezel or a plated back or chromed or on precious metal parts.
  • the device according to the invention can be applied to any other shape of part, polygonal with straight or curved sides.
  • the shape of the authentication plate used in these cases can, in fact, always be harmonized with that of the watch.
