Definitions

  • the invention relates to a watch case comprising a covering element which gives the watch a particular aesthetic appearance.
  • a wristwatch case comprising an upper element, a lower element, a middle part between the upper and lower elements and protruding members for attaching to a bracelet, the first parts of these projecting fasteners being defined by the element upper and second portions of these protruding fasteners being defined by the lower member, the first and second portions respectively comprising first and second retaining members which cooperate to assemble the first and second portions.
  • a watch case comprising a case provided with horns and having two connection zones of a bracelet strand to said middle part, a bezel and a covering element at least partially encased between said caseband and said bezel which comprises at least an indentation configured to reveal the covering element, wherein said covering element comprises two covering elements respectively covering each connecting zone and is fixed directly to said middle, independently of the attachment of said bezel to the middle part.
  • the invention particularly aims to overcome the various disadvantages of these known techniques.
  • the invention aims, at least in a particular embodiment, to provide a cladding element that is simple to implement, easy to assemble and inexpensive.
  • a watch case comprising a middle provided with horns and having two connection zones of a bracelet strand. to said middle part, a bezel and a cladding element arranged at least partially between said middle and said bezel, said bezel comprising at least one notch configured to reveal said cladding element,
  • said covering element comprises two covering elements respectively covering each connection zone and is fixed directly to said middle, independently of the fixing of said telescope to said middle part, and the middle part comprises at each zone of connection, two vertical ribs between the horns, configured to cooperate with two guide grooves formed on the inner face of the cover elements, so as to maintain in place correctly the trim element on the middle part.
  • the object of the present invention by its different functional and structural aspects described above, makes it possible to obtain a watch case that can present different aesthetic aspects in an easy manner.
  • a watch case 100 according to an exemplary embodiment will now be described in the following referring jointly to figures 1 , 2 and 3 .
  • the general principle of the invention is based on the use of a watch case 100 comprising a middle part 1, a bezel 6 and a covering element 5 disposed at least partially between the middle part 1 and the bezel 6 the bezel 6 comprising at least one notch 60 revealing the covering element 5.
  • the covering element 5 and the bezel 6 are fixed to the middle part 1 directly and independently of one another, the shape of the bezel 6 being complementary to the shape of the element of FIG. 5.
  • the covering element 5 is securely fixed to the middle part 1, being clamped between the caseband 1 and the bezel 6.
  • the bezel 6 comprises at least two indentations 60 symmetrically distributed around the bezel 6.
  • the indentation or notches 60 may be semicircular, semi-elliptical or polygonal shape, the shape of the indentations 60 depending on the desired aesthetic appearance.
  • covering element 5 may have different colors depending on the model of the watch.
  • the bezel 6 and the caseband 1 are made of a metallic material such as steel or aluminum.
  • a metallic material such as steel or aluminum.
  • any other material known to those skilled in the art could have been used.
  • the covering element 5 comprises a ring 50 configured to completely or partially cover the outer surface of the middle part 1, so that the ring 50 is substantially flush on all or part of of the peripheral surface of the middle part 1, the ring 50 bearing on a peripheral edge 18 of the middle part 1 and on the collar 16 of the middle part 1.
  • the covering element 5 is guided on the collar 16 of the caseband 1 through the peripheral edge 18.
  • the ring 50 at least partially covers the caseband 1 at the peripheral edge 18, the ring 50 being housed between the caseband 1 and the bezel 6 so as to form a decorative surface at the bottom of the notch 60.
  • the watch case 100 also comprises two zones 12, 13 for connecting a bracelet strand to the caseband 1.
  • the caseband 1 is delimited downwards by a base 19 integral with the caseband 1, and comprises at 6:00 a pair of external horns 10 and a pair of internal horns 11, as in the example shown, for fixing a strand of a bracelet (not shown).
  • the middle part 1 comprises at 12h00 the same number of horns (not visible in the figures) for fixing a second bracelet strand.
  • the ring 50 comprises two overlapping elements 51,52 respectively covering each of the two connection zones 12,13, located at 6:00 and 12:00 on the middle 1.
  • These covering elements 51,52 are arranged to cover the connection zones 12 13, the shape of the bracelet strands attached to the middle part 1 being designed not to tear the cladding element 5 by a lever effect.
  • These overlapping elements 51, 52 also serve to improve the appearance of the watch by masking the connection zones 12, 13 between the middle part 1 and the strands of the bracelet.
  • the ring 50 and the two covering elements 51, 52 of the covering element 5 form a single piece.
  • the covering element 5 is made of plastic material such as polycarbonate, PMMA or MABS, for example by injection molding. It will be understood here that other materials may be contemplated by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention.
  • the covering element 5 may be matte or polished, or transparent or opaque, a combination of these aspects being possible.
  • the caseband 1 comprises, at each connection zone 12, 13, two vertical ribs 14, 15 intended to hold the covering element 5 correctly in position at the level of the covering elements 51, 52 between the horns 10 the elements 51.52 overlap having on their inner face two guide grooves 53,54 configured to cooperate with the vertical ribs 14,15.
  • a single rib and a single groove may be sufficient for the maintenance of the covering element 5.
  • the covering element 5 comprises at each covering element 51, 52 two locking grooves 55, 56 formed under the covering elements 51, 52 and designed to cooperate with the internal horns 11. Thus, the element 5 is clipped on the middle through the cover elements 51,52 at the connection areas 12,13.
  • the ring 50 has a flat outer surface, that is to say that the ring 50 does not have a protruding portion accommodating in said at least one notch 60 of the bezel 6.
  • the trim element 5 thus has a simple geometric shape, which allows easy, fast and inexpensive manufacture.
  • the covering element 5 has protruding portions at the notches 60 of the telescope 6.
  • the pair of covering element 5 / bezel 6 makes it possible to obtain a plurality of aesthetic effects depending on the color and / or the appearance of the covering element 5, and as a function of the number of indentations 60 arranged in the bezel 6, as well as their size and shape.
  • the assembly of the watch is as follows.
  • the operator mounts the cladding element 5 by snapping on the middle part 1 at the connection zones 12, 13. Then, the operator deposits the entire movement 2 / dial 3 on the bottom 19 of the middle 1, then inserts the rod with its crown in the middle part 1 and the movement 2. Finally, the ice 4 is chased on the middle part 1, then the bezel 6 is fixed in turn so as to obtain the desired positioning of the notches 60.
