Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wristwatch with a housing made of faceted glass.
  • Wristwatches usually have a metal case.
  • a wristwatch is not only to be regarded as a timepiece, but also acts as a decorative and decorative item, there is a need for differently designed wristwatches.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a wristwatch that sets itself apart from all known wristwatches in its aesthetic effect.
  • the invention relates to a wristwatch with a housing made of faceted glass, which has a recess for receiving a clockwork, characterized in that the recess is provided on the top of the housing made of faceted glass, the underside of the housing and the walls and bottom of the Wear recess a reflection layer so that the incident light rays on the top are reflected, and that a bottom part includes the bottom of the housing and with this is connected.
  • the watch case is preferably made of faceted lead crystal glass.
  • the shape of the glass housing can in itself be chosen as desired and is preferably round, oval or more or less angular, such as rectangular or octagonal, in plan view.
  • the glass can be colored or steamed to achieve special aesthetic effects.
  • the faceting of the glass housing can be done in a variety of ways, the faceting being based both on the geometry of the watch and on the laws of light reflection.
  • the glass case should form a sufficient edge around the clockwork, so that the effect of the faceted glass with its brilliance comes into its own.
  • the glass housing is preferably ground optically.
  • the glass housing has a recess for receiving a clockwork.
  • the recess can be designed so that the clockwork is easily removable, but on the other hand is sufficiently held.
  • the seat of the clockwork is preferably accomplished by an elastic ring, preferably a ring made of silicone rubber, lying in a circumferential groove around the clockwork.
  • the clockwork itself can be a conventional clockwork of any shape, in particular round, oval or octagonal.
  • the time setting can be mechanical or electronic are done.
  • An embodiment is preferred in which a synchronous motor that changes the pointer position is started by pressing a switch.
  • the switch is preferably located on the bottom of the clockwork or on the bottom of the recess or inside the clockwork and is actuated by pressing on the top of the clock.
  • the clockwork is movably mounted in the recess or movably in an outer housing. It is not advantageous to set the time by means of a conventional crown provided on the edge, since the necessary hole would be visible through the glass and would also be reflected on the reflective underside.
  • the glass housing is designed to be reflective, so that light rays incident on the upper side are reflected on the lower side and exit again at the upper side, so that the optical effects known in the case of ground glass parts occur.
  • the underside of the glass housing is preferably provided with a reflective layer, such as a similization layer, in particular a silver layer, for example with a thickness of 0.001 mm.
  • a reflective layer such as a similization layer, in particular a silver layer, for example with a thickness of 0.001 mm.
  • This silver layer can carry a protective layer, preferably a vapor-deposited metal protective layer, for example likewise with a thickness of 0.001 mm.
  • the bottom part encompasses the underside of the glass housing. It is connected to the glass housing, which can be accomplished by reaching around, clamping or gluing.
  • the base part preferably consists of metal, in particular rustproof and acid-resistant steel or noble metal. However, other suitable materials can also be considered.
  • the metal base is preferably glued to the glass housing.
  • Silicone adhesives are particularly well suited for this purpose, since on the one hand, when cured, due to their elasticity, they dampen small impacts that hit the crystal housing and, on the other hand, they are able to compensate for the different expansion coefficients between the metal base and the glass housing and thus cause the glass housing to pop out to avoid from the metal floor.
  • the attachments that is to say the connection between the watch and the watch strap, are preferably designed to be movable, as a result of which the bracelet with the attachments can adapt better to the wrist.
  • the fastening devices for the watch band are provided on the bottom part.
  • the inside of the recess, both its bottom and its walls, is provided with a reflective layer, which can be achieved, for example, by sputtering or in the same manner as the application of the reflective layer to the underside of the glass housing .
  • the wristwatch 1 essentially consists of a glass housing 2 which has facets 3 in order to achieve special optical effects.
  • a recess 4 is provided, in which a clockwork 5 is inserted removably.
  • the clockwork 5 comprises a clockwork housing 14 with cover glass 6.
  • the pointers 7 are indicated, while the actual clockwork is not shown.
  • a reflective layer 8 is provided on the underside 13 to improve the reflection.
  • the walls 15 and the bottom 16 of the recess 4 are also provided with a reflection layer 19, in particular a silver layer, in order to increase the reflection.
  • the bottom part 9 comprises the lower part of the glass housing 2 and is connected to this.
  • the bottom part 9 has fastening devices 10 for the watch band 11.
  • a switch 18 is arranged on the bottom 16 of the recess 4 or on the bottom 17 of the clockwork 5 or between them or in the clockwork (5). By actuating this switch 18, a synchronous motor (not shown) is started, which changes the pointer position for the purpose of setting the time.
  • the switch is operated by pressing the top of the watch, usually the area under which the switch is located. In order to pass on the pressure on the top of the watch on the switch 18, the movement is movable, in particular spring-mounted.
  • the wristwatches according to the invention are characterized by a special aesthetic effect.
