Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. It relates more precisely to a watch having a middle part on which is mounted a polygonal bezel in soft material, or fragile.
  • soft material a material having a hardness Vickers less than 30HV, for example, wood, some plastics, or even leather.
  • fragile material is meant a material having no plastic deformation domain, such as a ceramic, stone or mother-of-pearl. More generally, all the soft or fragile materials consist substantially of non-metallic materials.
  • Watches with a covering of soft material, such as wood, are known to those skilled in the art for their particularly decorative appearance.
  • the box is either entirely formed of wood, or formed of a metal body covered with a wooden cover.
  • EP 233 309 and CH 667,177 please refer to EP 233 309 and CH 667,177 .
  • the document CH120032 further described a middle part comprising an upper face provided with corners arranged to receive interchangeable decorative rods.
  • a disadvantage of the soft material coating is its lack of resistance to wear.
  • the angular parts, such as corners, being particularly exposed to wear, existing constructions do not have any, but have rounded shapes.
  • Such watches are therefore limited to circular and oval geometries.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these limitations by providing a watch with a polygonal bezel soft or fragile material, the corners are resistant to wear and shock.
  • the invention relates to a watch comprising a middle part comprising an upper face arranged to receive a polygonal bezel in a first material, characterized in that the corners of the bezel are truncated and in that the middle part is provided with angular elements. in a second material secured to its upper face and arranged to replace the truncated corners of the bezel-when it is mounted on the middle, the second material being more resistant to impact or wear than the first.
  • the watch represented in Figures 1, 2 and 3 typically comprises a box 10 formed of a middle part 12, a bottom 14 and a bezel 16.
  • the middle part 12 defines with the bottom 14, a housing 18 in which takes place a movement 20.
  • the movement 20 may be of mechanical or electromechanical type powered by a battery not shown.
  • the watch further includes a window 22 mounted on the middle part 12, a dial 24 interposed between the movement 20 and the window 22, and a time indication display means, such as needles 26 and 28, connected kinematically to the movement 20.
  • a ring 30, secured to a winding stem, located on the side of the middle part 12, is intended for reassembly and correction of the time indication.
  • the middle part 12, the bottom 14 and the bezel 16 are of substantially square geometry.
  • the middle part 12, the bottom 14 and the bezel 16 could be of any polygonal shape, for example, rectangular, hexagonal, triangular, etc.
  • the middle 12 and the bottom 14 are formed of a material resistant to wear and impact, typically a metal, such as steel.
  • the bezel is formed of a soft or fragile material, such as wood, ceramic, mother-of-pearl, or any other non-metallic material that may have a decorative effect.
  • the middle part 12 comprises an upper face 32 formed of a substantially flat surface 34 delimited by an inner rim 36 forming a shoulder 38 on which the ice-cream 22 is mounted.
  • the skilled person may choose to mount the ice-cream 22 in a sealed manner, by interposing a seal between the glass 22 and the middle part 12.
  • the upper face 32 further comprises four angular elements 40a, b, c and d, protruding from the surface 34, and disposed in its four corners .
  • the four elements 40a, b, c and d form with the middle part 12, a monobloc assembly. They are obtained by machining the upper face 32, or by stamping the middle part 12.
  • the elements 40a, bc and d can be attached to the middle part 12, by soldering, soldering, gluing or screwing.
  • the bezel 16 is positioned on the upper face 32, thanks to the rim 36, and screwed to the middle part 12 with the aid of four screws so as to be plated on the surface 34.
  • the bezel 16 can be glued to the surface 34. Its four corners are truncated, so that when positioned on the upper face 32 of the middle part 12, the angular elements 40a, b, c and d take the place of its four corners. This arrangement makes it possible to prevent the corners of the bezel 16 from being damaged either by wear or by impact.
