Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watch with analog display comprising at least two annular indicator discs, coaxial, driven in rotation around their common axis by a clockwork movement, these discs and this clock movement being housed in a case having at least one opening which crosses it right through in the direction of said axis.
  • opening is understood to pass through the housing, an opening or hole through the watch visually, independently any transparent elements that could cover, or be inserted into, the space of the opening which thus remains open to view and contains no functional element of the watch.
  • a watch of the aforementioned type has been described for example in the patent Swiss N ° 680 486.
  • the watch according to this patent has the disadvantage, however major necessarily lead to a relatively elongated shape, which considerably affects the aesthetics of the watch and makes it difficult portable for people with a small wrist.
  • this watch has superimposed indicator discs so that the upper disc must be at least partially transparent for an index on the disc lower is readable.
  • the present invention aims in particular to remedy these drawbacks by providing a watch which, while presenting said opening of the case, can be realized in a form such that the largest dimension of the shows in a plane perpendicular to the mentioned axis is substantially reduced, so as to make the watch more aesthetic and better suited to wrist.
  • the invention aims to improve the readability and the aesthetics of display allowing a finishing of discs and indexes that is not limited by the constraints of the watch proposed according to the aforementioned patent.
  • the watch according to the invention has the features indicated in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • Claims 2 and 3 describe preferred embodiments of the watch according to the invention. These embodiments allow in particular to manufacture the watch case by the usual means of manufacturing watch cases shows, and make the support of the moving parts according to the rules and tolerances used in the manufacture of watch plates. This leads to a significant reduction in manufacturing costs and in particular allows test the gear train separately, it no longer depends on the gearbox of watch.
  • the watch shown somewhat schematically in Figures 1 and 2 has a characteristic aesthetic element in the form of an opening 1 crossing the watch right through.
  • the case of this watch has essentially three parts surrounding this opening, namely a part outer annular 2, an inner part 3 and an annular lens 4 bringing together these exterior and interior parts.
  • This glass 4 is inserted between two annular surfaces, namely an outer annular surface 5 formed by a ring 6 secured to the outer annular part 2, and a surface annular 7 formed on the outer periphery of the inner part 3.
  • the housing thus produced has a compartment 8 closed by a part of bottom 9 fixed to this housing by screws 10.
  • the display device of this watch has two indicator discs annulars arranged essentially in the same plane, namely a disc inside 11 and an outside coaxial disc 12.
  • the inner disc 11 carries a mark 13 used for the indication of the hours and is driven by a pinion 14 cooperating with an internal toothing of this disk.
  • the outer disc 12 carries a mark 15 used for the indication of the minutes and is driven by a pinion 16 cooperating with an external toothing of the disc 12.
  • the pinion 16 is integral with a coaxial pinion 17 driven by a wheel 18, the latter being mounted, like the pinion 14, on the main axis 19 of a usual clockwork movement 20.
  • the pinions 16 and 17 are mounted on a deck part 21 which is integral with an annular support piece 27 fixed in the outer annular part 2 of the housing.
  • Exhibit 27 has support parts such as 22, 23 and guide parts such as 22 ', 23' for discs 11 and 12 rotatably arranged in the upper part of the housing 8 formed by the parts 2 and 3.
  • the part 27 also serves to support for the clockwork movement 20 so as to form, with the moving parts 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, one unit capable of operating regardless of the housing.
  • the figures also show a winding part 24 accessible by the opening 1 of the case, and two parts for attaching a bracelet 25 and 26.
  • the marks 13 and 15 are visible through the glass 4 and display, hours and minutes respectively with respect to markings correspondents trained for example, on the one hand, on the visible surfaces of a portion 2 'of part 2 and, on the other hand, on the outer surface of the ring 6.
  • the watch according to the invention has a maximum dimension, in the plane of the display discs, which is significantly reduced, while allowing a very aesthetic realization characteristic based on the opening passing through the watch. Thanks to the structure of this case and the fact that the whole movement including all the moving parts is independent of this case in which it is simply asked, the cost of manufacturing such a watch can be considerably reduced.
