  • the wall lamp that is to say the outer surface 13, 13 'of the wall lamp, is preferably arranged set back from the outer surface 23, 23' (visible ) of the dial.
  • the outer surface 13, 13 'of the applique can come flush with the outer surface 23, 23' (visible) of the dial.
  • the outer surface 13, 13 'of the applique can project relative to the outer surface 23, 23' (visible) of the dial.
  • the dial can comprise at least a first projection 20 'outside the first visible zone Z' of the dial or the applique can comprise at least a second projection 10 outside a second Z zone visible from the wall light.
  • one or more projections can constitute a complementary or alternative positioning element of the applique on the dial.
  • the fixing elements in particular the feet or the openings
  • These protrusions can have a function of blocking the application from rotating relative to the dial.
  • These protrusions can also be made on the applique and interposed between the dial and another element (such as a blank element) to reinforce the strength of the fixing of the applique on the dial, in particular the impact resistance.
  • one or more protrusions may be provided with fasteners (such as feet and / or openings) and one or more protrusions may be without a fastener.
  • solutions according to the invention make it possible to carry out a repeatable and lasting assembly of an applique, in particular of a counter, on a dial implementing mechanical guiding and / or fixing elements arranged, according to the embodiment, on projections shaped at the periphery of the wall lamp or at the periphery of an opening in the dial provided to receive the wall lamp.
  • these guide and / or fixing elements are in the form of openings provided to cooperate with complementary elements, such as feet forming pins or rivets, arranged, according to the embodiment of the solution of assembly, on the dial or on the applique.
  • the first embodiment is particularly advantageous with regard to the impact resistance of the wall lamp.
  • the second embodiment has the advantage of providing a solution for the mechanical assembly of an applique on a paved dial, in particular fully paved.
  • exit surface we mean a surface of a timepiece component intended for an outward orientation of a timepiece, in particular including a surface directly visible to an observer of the timepiece. watchmaking.
  • An outer surface of a component located in the watch case is oriented so that a half-line normal to this surface and starting from this surface without crossing the component, passes through the glass of the timepiece.
  • internal surface we mean a surface of a timepiece component intended for orientation towards the interior of a timepiece, in particular including a surface not visible to an observer of the timepiece. watchmaking.
  • An interior surface of a component located in the watch case is oriented such that a half-line normal to this surface and starting from this surface without crossing the component, passes through the back of the timepiece.
  • lobe or "ear” does not cover a “dial base”. Indeed, a dial base extends perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the main surface of the dial.
  • the surfaces 12, 22; 12 ', 22' of the dial-applique interface are arranged within the thickness of the dial, that is to say between the plane along which the outer surface of the dial extends and the plane along which the inner surface of the dial extends.
