- the present invention relates particularly but not exclusively to mechanical movement wristwatches.
- the users' attachment to purely mechanical watches is well known. Nevertheless, the mechanical watch wearers deprive themselves of the advantages that the electronic functions can bring them.
- the present invention aims to overcome this problem by providing a wristwatch with at least one electronic function whose operation is completely independent from that of the movement of the watch.
- the present invention relates to a dial for a wristwatch, characterized in that at least one light source and a photovoltaic cell for supplying the light source with electrical energy are housed in the thickness of the dial so as to to form an autonomous electronic module totally independent of the movement of the wristwatch.
- the photovoltaic cell supplies the electronic device via a rechargeable battery which stores the energy produced by the photovoltaic cell and restores it. when the electronic device is activated.
- the present invention provides a wristwatch comprising one or more electronic devices whose operation is completely independent from that of the watch. This is particularly advantageous in the case of a mechanical wristwatch. Indeed, the watch retains the emotional aspect that gives it its purely mechanical operation while being joined one or more electronic devices that enrich the range of functions it can offer to its wearer.
- the present invention may equally well apply to an electromechanical or purely electronic watch provided that the electronic device or devices integrated in the trim element are independent of the movement of the watch.
- the invention also relates to a wristwatch bezel, characterized in that the bezel defines an interior volume in which are housed one or more photovoltaic cells mounted in series and at least one rechargeable battery as well as the least an electronic device.

- FIG. 10 is a plan view of another embodiment of a watch dial according to the invention.
- the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea of integrating into a wristwatch dial a light source as well as its power supply and control means.
- the integration of the light source must be done in such a way that the light source is completely autonomous with respect to the movement of the watch. It is thus possible to associate with a purely mechanical watch one or more electronic functions that expand the range of functions offered by the watch without harming the emotional nature of a mechanical watch. If the dial of the wristwatch is mounted removably, it is also possible to vary the functions offered by the watch. Of course, it is also possible to mount the dial according to the invention on an electromechanical watch, or even purely electronic. The only condition to be respected is that the dial forms an electronic module completely autonomous with respect to the movement of the watch. Different types of electronic devices such as one or more sources of ultraviolet radiation, a compass, an accelerometer or the like can be envisaged.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a watch case according to the invention.

- the movement 2 conventionally causes a switch 8 comprising an hour hand 10, a minute hand 12 and a seconds hand 14.
- the dial 4 has in its center a through hole 1 6 for the passage of the hour cannon 17.
- the electrical energy supplied by the photovoltaic cell 18 through the conversion of the incident natural light serves to supply one or more light sources 20 also housed in the thickness of the dial 4.
- These light sources 20 may For example, they are ultraviolet sources of the light-emitting diode type.
- the ultraviolet light produced by these diodes is reflected by the ice 6 and illuminates the hour hands 10, minutes 12 and seconds 14 which, for this purpose, will advantageously be covered with a layer of fluorescent or phosphorescent pigments.
- the face of the ice 6 turned towards the dial 4 may be covered with one or several thin layers 22 reflecting the ultraviolet light and letting pass the largest amount of visible light spectrum.
- the ultraviolet light produced by the light sources 20 is reflected by the lens 6 and is returned to the needles 10, 12, 14 to illuminate these needles.

- the light source (s) 20 are fed directly or, preferably, via a rechargeable battery 24 by the photovoltaic cell 18.
- the rechargeable battery 24 may be formed by a button-cell, a film accumulator, super-capacitors or other .
- the rechargeable battery 24 is mounted on the rear face of the dial 4. It accumulates the electrical energy produced by the photovoltaic cell 18 and restores it to the light sources 20 on the user's command as explained in detail below.
- the photovoltaic cell 18 can be replaced by a non-rechargeable battery.
- the dial 4 forms, with its associated components, namely the photovoltaic cell 18, the rechargeable battery 24 and the light sources 20, a complete electronic module ensuring the illumination of the index hours and needles 10, 12 and 14 and which is completely autonomous with respect to the basic mechanical movement 2 of the watch according to the invention.
- the watch according to the invention therefore retains its purely mechanical aspect which confers its emotional character while being added an electronic function that offers its user a possibility of additional use.
- the addition to the watch of an electronic function does not require any modification or adaptation of any kind of mechanical movement.
- FIG. 2 is a view similar to that of Figure 1 on which we see that an additional electronic function for example of the compass type has been added.
- the photovoltaic cell 18 has been pierced with a hole to allow passage to a barrel 26 of a needle 28.

- This micromotor 30 may be a microsystem better known by its Anglo-Saxon Micro Electronic Mechanical System or MEMS. It can also be a Lavet ultra flat motor, a piezoelectric motor or other.
- additional electronic function can be envisaged such as an altimeter, a temperature sensor and more generally a sensor of a physical quantity.
- FIG 3 is a schematic representation of another embodiment of the invention.
- the photovoltaic cell 18 is arranged annularly on the outer periphery of the dial 4 and is hidden from the viewpoint of the user by a semi-transparent flange 32 disposed obliquely, for example at 45.degree. to the normal dial 4. More specifically, the flange 4 lets the ambient light through its front face 32a turned on the side of the user so that the photoelectric effect can take place, but masks the photovoltaic cell 18 that the flare 32 covers by its rear face 32b.
- the light source or sources 20 are integrated in the inclined plane 34 of the flange 32.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of an alternative embodiment of the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 3.

- the inclined plane 34 of the flange 32 is arranged obliquely, for example at 45 ° compared to the normal dial 4.
- the flange 32 is semi-transparent: it lets the ambient light pass so that the photovoltaic effect can occur, but mask by diffusion the photovoltaic cell 18 so that it is invisible to the user.
- the light source or sources 20 which emit ultraviolet radiation are housed in the thickness of the dial 4, arranged near the base 36 of the flange 32.
- the ultraviolet light emitted by the light sources 20 is reflected by the ice 6 and is reflected back to the 10, minute 12 and second 14 hour hands.
- the phosphor and fluorine pigments emit light radiation in the wavelength range of the visible light passing through the ice cream 6.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic representation of yet another embodiment of the invention.
- the dial of the watch is constituted by the photovoltaic cell 18 itself which is structured on a printed circuit 38 which can be made of a ceramic or epoxy material for reasons of strength and rigidity.
