Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. It relates more particularly to a watch case providing an asymmetrical visual appearance.
  • the German patent application DE 202005010109 describes a timepiece having a "false retrograde" type display.
  • Said timepiece is a clock in which the normal round shape is replaced by an hourglass shape or a figure of eight.
  • the clock is essentially composed of two clock mechanisms combined together so that both are needed to indicate the time. Each clock mechanism only shows half the time. The needle of each half of the piece is hidden by a part of the middle part for about half of its rotation.
  • the US patent US 1,989,584 also discloses a timepiece of the clock type having a display type "false retrograde". The time is indicated by means of a double needle formed of two needles extending in opposite directions, one of these needles being hidden by a part of the housing at each moment.
  • the US patent US5,297,121 describes a wristwatch in which the movement is eccentric with respect to the dial and the middle-bezel, a portion of the needles being visible between a central mask and an annular scale. The ends of the needles pass under the dial for a large part of their trajectory.
  • This type of wristwatch nevertheless has, by construction, to off-center the winder with respect to the watch case making the manufacture and handling of the winder more difficult.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a watch case of simple and inexpensive design, presenting an eccentricity of the roadway of the movement relative to the middle-bezel while maintaining a centering of the winder.
  • the invention relates to a watch case including a middle-bezel, an ice and a bottom mounted removably on the middle-bezel, a casing circle ensuring the positioning of a movement in the box said movement comprising at least one hour hand, a minute hand and a second hand and carrying a dial covering the platen of said movement;
  • said watch case is remarkable in that said bezel comprises firstly a first so-called central portion having an upper opening intended to be closed by ice, a lower opening intended to be closed by a bottom and at least one slot made in at least one of the walls the inner portion of the central portion to allow passage of the end of the body of the seconds hand and, secondly, a second so-called U-shaped peripheral portion extending to the periphery of the central portion to which it is fixed, the movement being arranged in the central part so that the roadway of the movement extends in the center of the whole central part / peripheral part.
  • This arrangement provides an asymmetrical visual appearance by allowing an eccentricity of the roadway movement relative to the central part of the middle-bezel while maintaining a central position of the winding.
  • the bottom advantageously comprises two opposite side walls provided with projections arranged so as to ensure attachment to the box ends of the two strands of a bracelet.
  • said projections form horns between which can be mounted the spring bars of the bracelet.
  • said projections form cover-handles on either side of which can project the ends of the spring bars of the bracelet.
  • the bottom is screwed against the lower surface of the peripheral portion and the central portion by means of fixing screws.
  • the central portion has a substantially rectangular shape.
  • one of the longitudinal walls has a hole in its middle part for the passage of the winding tube.
  • the longitudinal wall having the hole for the passage of the winding tube is convex.
  • the slot for the passage of the end of the body of the seconds hand is formed in the inner face of the longitudinal wall opposite to that having the hole for the passage of the winding tube.
  • the peripheral portion has an open rectangle shape.
  • the ice is driven into the upper opening of the middle part of the middle-bezel, with the interposition of an I-section seal and the watch case further comprises a seal disposed between the bottom and the lower portion of the casing ring.
  • the timepiece consists of a wristwatch 1 comprising a watch case 2 which comprises in particular a middle-bezel 3, an ice, not shown in the figures, and a bottom 4 removably mounted on the middle-bezel 3, a casing ring 5 ensuring the positioning of a movement 6 in the box shows 2, said movement 6 comprising at least one hour hand 7, a minute hand 8 and a seconds hand 9 and carrying a dial 10 covering the plate of said movement 6.
  • Said middle-telescope 3 consists of two parts 3a and 3b, a first so-called central part 3a having an upper opening 11 intended to be closed by ice, a lower opening 12 intended to be closed by the bottom 4, as will be detailed further, and a second generally U-shaped peripheral portion 3b extending around the periphery of the central portion 3a to which it is attached.
  • the central portion 3a has a substantially rectangular shape and the peripheral portion 3b has an open rectangle shape.
  • the peripheral portion 3b is fixed to the central portion 3a by means of screws cooperating with threaded holes formed in lugs 13 projecting outwardly from the side and / or longitudinal walls of the central portion 3a.
  • central portion 3a and the peripheral portion 3b may have any shape such as a circular or ovoid shape for example without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the movement 6 is arranged in the central portion 3a so that the dial 10 bears on a shoulder 14, said movement 6 being fixed inside the central portion 3a by means of the casing ring 5 which is secured to the central portion 3a by screws 15, and that the roadway 16 of the movement 6 is eccentric with respect to the center of the central portion 3a while extending to the center of the entire portion central 3a / peripheral portion 3b to provide an asymmetrical visual appearance.
  • the central portion 3a comprises at least one slot 17 formed in one of the inner walls of the central portion 3a to allow the passage of the end of the body of the seconds hand 9 said second hand.
  • Said slot 17 extends parallel to the dial between the window and the shoulder on which the dial 10 bears.
  • one of the longitudinal walls of the central portion 3a has a hole 18 for the passage of the 19 of the winding tube 20.
  • Said longitudinal wall having the hole 18 for the passage of the tube 19 of the winding 20 is convex and said slot 17 for the passage of the end of the body of the second hand 9 is made in the inner face. of the longitudinal wall opposite to that comprising the hole 18 for the passage of the tube 19 of the winding device 20.
  • central portion could include a second slot to allow the passage of the end of the body of the minute hand 8 for example, depending on the selected eccentricity, without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the bottom 4 is fixed on the central portion 3a and the peripheral portion 3b by screws 21 cooperating with tapped holes 22 formed on the bottom wall of the central portions 3a and 3b peripheral.
  • Said bottom 4 comprises, moreover, two opposite side walls provided with projections 23 arranged to ensure attachment to the box ends of the two strands of a bracelet, not shown in the figures.
  • said projections 23 form horns 24 between which can be mounted the spring bars of the bracelet.
  • said projections 23 form cover-handles on either side of which can project the ends of the spring bars of the bracelet.
  • the watch case also includes, and in the usual manner, seals particularly between the bottom 4 and the lower portion of the casing ring and between the ice and the upper opening of the central portion 3a of the casing.
  • middle-telescope 3 said ice being driven into said upper opening with interposition of an I-section seal, said joints are not shown in the figures.
