Description
L'invention se rapporte à un cadran pour pièce d'horlogerie comprenant un support et une feuille de nacre, la feuille de nacre présentant une face avant et une face arrière en regard dudit support et sur laquelle un motif a été imprimé. L'invention se rapporte également à un procédé de fabrication d'un tel cadran, ainsi qu'à une pièce d'horlogerie comprenant un tel cadran.The invention relates to a dial for a timepiece comprising a support and a mother-of-pearl sheet, the mother-of-pearl sheet having a front face and a rear face opposite said support and on which a pattern has been printed. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a dial, as well as to a timepiece comprising such a dial.
Un tel cadran est par exemple décrit dans le brevet CH 697 210. Dans ce document, le motif est formé par des éléments lumineux phosphorescents, fluorescents ou luminescents afin de former une image visible dans l'obscurité mais invisible en condition d'illumination normale. Pour ce faire, les éléments lumineux peuvent être appliqués sur la face arrière de la nacre ou sur le substrat ou être déposés dans des cavités borgnes creusées dans la nacre ou dans le substrat. L'épaisseur recommandée pour la feuille de nacre est de 0.4 mm. Cette épaisseur est nécessaire pour permettre de creuser les cavités borgnes. En outre, la feuille de nacre doit avoir une épaisseur suffisante pour que la couche de pigments phosphorescents n'apparaisse pas par transparence au travers de la nacre à la lumière du jour, en condition d'illumination normale. Cette épaisseur de nacre confère au cadran une épaisseur importante de sorte qu'il n'est pas possible de réaliser des cadrans ultra minces pour la fabrication de montres ultra fines.Such a dial is for example described in patent CH 697 210. In this document, the pattern is formed by phosphorescent, fluorescent or luminescent light elements in order to form a visible image in the dark but invisible under normal illumination conditions. To do this, the light elements can be applied to the rear face of the mother-of-pearl or on the substrate or be deposited in blind cavities dug in the nacre or in the substrate. The recommended thickness for the mother-of-pearl leaf is 0.4 mm. This thickness is necessary to allow to dig the blind cavities. In addition, the mother-of-pearl sheet must be of sufficient thickness so that the layer of phosphorescent pigments does not appear transparently through the mother-of-pearl in the light of day, in a condition of normal illumination. This thickness of mother of pearl gives the dial a significant thickness so that it is not possible to make ultra-thin dials for the manufacture of ultra-thin watches.
Le but de la présente invention est de pallier les inconvénients cités précédemment en proposant un cadran en nacre et son procédé de fabrication permettant de réaliser un cadran ultra mince et une pièce d'horlogerie, notamment une montre, ultra fine, comprenant un tel cadran, sans nuire à l'aspect caractéristique de la nacre.The object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above by proposing a mother-of-pearl dial and its manufacturing method making it possible to produce an ultra-thin dial and a timepiece, in particular an ultra-thin watch, comprising such a dial, without harming the characteristic appearance of mother-of-pearl.
A cet effet, l'invention se rapporte à un cadran pour pièce d'horlogerie comprenant un support et une feuille de nacre, la feuille de nacre présentant une face avant et une face arrière en regard dudit support et sur laquelle un motif a été imprimé.For this purpose, the invention relates to a dial for a timepiece comprising a support and a mother-of-pearl sheet, the mother-of-pearl sheet having a front face and a rear face facing said support and on which a pattern has been printed. .
Selon l'invention, la feuille de nacre présente une épaisseur comprise entre 50 µm et 300 µm pour que le motif imprimé sur la face arrière de la feuille de nacre apparaisse par transparence au travers de la nacre dans des conditions normales d'illumination.According to the invention, the mother-of-pearl sheet has a thickness of between 50 μm and 300 μm so that the pattern printed on the rear face of the mother-of-pearl sheet appears transparently through the mother-of-pearl under normal conditions of illumination.
Ainsi, on obtient un cadran en nacre décorée d'un motif ultra mince tout en préservant le caractère irisé de la nacre et l'aspect lisse de la nacre en face avant, visible par un utilisateur.Thus, we obtain a mother of pearl dial decorated with an ultra thin pattern while preserving the iridescent nature of mother-of-pearl and the smooth appearance of mother-of-pearl on the front face, visible by a user.
D'autres particularités et avantages ressortiront clairement de la description qui en est faite ci-après, à titre indicatif et nullement limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

Une bague métallique 6, de préférence en laiton, est prévue sur le bord périphérique de la feuille de nacre 3 pour définir les contours du cadran 1. Cette bague métallique 6 peut présenter par exemple une épaisseur de l'ordre de 700 µm à 900 µm, par exemple 800 µm.A
Conformément à la présente invention, la feuille de nacre présente une épaisseur comprise entre 50 µm et 300 µm pour que le motif imprimé sur la face arrière de la nacre apparaisse par transparence au travers de la nacre dans des conditions normales d'illumination, notamment en lumière rasante. De préférence, la feuille de nacre présente une épaisseur comprise entre 50 µm et 250 µm, de préférence entre 100 µm et 200 µm, de préférence entre 120 µm et 180 µm, plus préférentiellement entre 130 µm et 170 µm, et encore plus préférentiellement entre 140 µm et 160 µm. Par exemple, l'épaisseur de la feuille de nacre est d'environ 150 µm. Une telle épaisseur de la feuille de nacre est un compromis trouvé par la déposante permettant d'une part de conserver la transparence nécessaire pour que le motif imprimé sur la face arrière de la nacre apparaisse par transparence au travers de la nacre dans des conditions normales d'illumination, et d'autre part d'éviter de casser la feuille de nacre, notamment lors de l'impression du motif, en raison d'une trop grande fragilité.According to the present invention, the mother-of-pearl sheet has a thickness of between 50 μm and 300 μm so that the pattern printed on the rear face of the nacre appears transparently through the mother-of-pearl under normal conditions of illumination, especially in grazing light. Preferably, the nacre sheet has a thickness of between 50 μm and 250 μm, preferably between 100 μm and 200 μm, preferably between 120 μm and 180 μm, more preferably between 130 μm and 170 μm, and even more preferably between 140 μm and 160 μm. For example, the thickness of the mother-of-pearl sheet is about 150 μm. Such a thickness of the mother-of-pearl sheet is a compromise found by the applicant, on the one hand to preserve the transparency necessary for the pattern printed on the back side of the mother-of-pearl to appear transparently through the mother-of-pearl under normal conditions. illumination, and secondly to avoid breaking the mother-of-pearl sheet, especially when printing the pattern, because of too great fragility.
