Definitions

  • the invention relates to an analog timepiece provided with rotating needles between a dial and a first crystal and a decorative pattern integral with a needle axis and rotating with it, said axis emerging from said dial under said first crystal, said pattern having a substantially circular periphery situated in a plane parallel to the dial.
  • the document CH-A-658 969 already describes a watch with mobile ornament and its method of assembly.
  • This watch is adorned with a set stone attached to the axis of a hand.
  • the stone is set by folding claws forming part of a kitten secured to the axis of the needle.
  • Figure 1 shows a first embodiment which is also the preferred mode.
  • the timepiece which is here a wristwatch, is provided with minute hands 9 and hours 10 driven in rotation between a dial 5 and a first crystal 1.
  • the hour hand 10 is fitted on the barrel wheel 7 on which the hour wheel 15 is driven and the minute hand is fitted onto the carriageway 6 as is the case with a conventional assembly.
  • a decorative pattern 30 is integral with a needle axis, here the seconds axis 8, and rotates with this axis.
  • the axis 8 emerges from the dial 5 through its end 12 under the first crystal 1.
  • the decorative pattern 30 has a substantially circular periphery 31 situated in a plane parallel to the dial 5.
  • the invention consists in arrange with a set x a fixed protective wall 11 around the periphery 31 to limit the movement of the pattern when a shock is applied to the watch.
  • the protective wall 11 is a drilling made in a second glass 2 arranged between the dial 5 and the first glass 1.
  • This figure shows an example of securing the first 1 and second 2 glass on the middle part 3 of the watch.
  • This middle part has a shoulder 17 on which the dial 5 rests.
  • the glass 2 is placed on the dial, which is held in place once the glass 1 is welded to the middle part 3.
  • the decorative pattern 30 is here a faceted stone 14 embedded in a kitten 13, the latter being fitted on the end 12 of the seconds axis 8.
  • the stone can be a diamond or any other precious stone. It could also be a precious metal, gold for example.
  • the clearance x existing between the wall 11 and the periphery 31 of the decoration must be large enough to ensure easy assembly of the watch but limited however in size so that, during an impact exerted on the watch, the periphery 31 of the decoration 30 come and touch the wall 11 before the elastic limit of the seconds axis 8, 12 is exceeded (a few tenths of a millimeter).
  • Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of the invention where the protective wall 11 is formed by a tube 21 disposed under the first glass 20 and preferably made in one piece with it.
  • FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of the invention where the protective wall 11 is produced by means of a bubble 26 lifted in the glass 25.
  • the windows 20, respectively 25 can be fixed to the middle part in the same way as that described above with reference to FIG. 1.
  • the seconds axis can carry, in addition to the decorative pattern, a seconds hand as shown in the document CH-B-658 969 previously cited.
