  • the portable object is made in the form of a portable electronic instrument in the form of a wristwatch.
  • This wristwatch may comprise means for receiving and / or transmitting radio frequency signals if the conductive track of the bracelet defines an antenna.
  • the electronic circuit for processing electrical signals makes it possible to manage the transmission or reception of information signals by the antenna.
