  • the invention also relates to a measurement method using the device of the invention. The device is easy to use and allows the wearer to test their own watch.
  • Device 1 shown in figures 1a and 1b has the external shape and dimensions of a watchmaker's loupe, comprising a cylindrical portion 2 and a portion with a conical or curved section 3 which widens from the cylindrical portion 2 towards a section 4 which is wider than the cylindrical section 2.
  • the invention is not limited to this form, since the functionality of the device is very different from that of a watchmaker's loupe.
  • a curved surface 5 is provided at the end of the cylindrical portion 2.
  • Surface 5 serves as a contact surface between the device and the case of a watch to be tested.
  • the curvature of the contact surface 5 and the hardness of the surface material are such that the contact area between the surface 5 and the case is essentially limited to one point, measured relative to the average dimensions of the watch.
  • a digital screen 6, preferably a touch screen, is integrated in section 4, to display the measured data and to receive commands from the user.
  • the contact surface 5 is the outer surface of a round part 10, hereinafter called the contact part.
  • the contact piece 10 is preferably made from a hard metal or a hard synthetic material, for example having a hardness of at least 100 Vickers.
  • the contact piece 10 comprises a cylindrical cavity 11 surrounded by a hollow, cylindrical elevation 12, having a diameter less than the diameter of the contact surface 5.
  • the contact piece 10 is attached. to an internal rim 13 of a cylindrical frame 14, preferably of metal, the cylindrical elevation 12 passing through the opening defined by the rim 13.
  • a washer 15 of compressible material, for example shock-absorbing foam, is mounted between the contact piece 10 and the flange 13.
  • the piece 10, the washer 15 and the flange 13 are joined together, for example by the use of an adhesive foam for the washer 15.
  • the top of the curved surface 5 exceeds the lower plane of the reinforcement 14, by an offset 'a' indicated at figure 3 .
  • a piezoelectric element 20 is fixed to the bottom of the cavity 11 of the contact piece 10, so that the assembly of the piece 10 and the piezoelectric element 20 constitutes a contact microphone.
  • the piezoelectric element 20 is connected by an electric wire 21 to a PCB (printed circuit board) 22 attached to a second internal flange 23 of the frame 14.
  • the PCB 22 is provided with electronic components, configured to process and analyze the data. signals generated by the microphone, and described in more detail later.
  • a plastic battery holder 25 is fixedly inserted into the frame 14, above the PCB 22.
  • the battery holder 25 comprises a housing suitable for receiving a replaceable battery 26, for example a standard battery of the CR1632 type.
  • the device is provided with a rechargeable battery.
  • Conductors (not shown) are integrated in the battery holder 25, to connect the battery 26 to the PCB 22, so as to supply the components of the PCB.
  • the battery holder 25 is provided with a number of openings 27 for the passage of spring pins 28 which will establish a connection between the PCB 22 and the screen. digital 6 of the device.
  • the screen 6 is provided with a connector 30 which will be in contact with the spring pins 28.
  • An outer case 31 in the form of a magnifying glass is mounted around the frame 14, and clipped onto said frame by means of a rib 32 on the outer surface of the frame 14.
  • the rib 32 enters a recess 33 at the bottom. interior of the outer casing 31 when the latter is put around the frame 14 and pushed downwards.
  • the outer housing 31 is made from a synthetic material, for example silicone, which allows enough deformation to achieve the clip connection. Instead of this type of connection, other means for reversibly attaching the housing 31 to the frame 14 are possible within the scope of the invention.
  • the upper section of the housing 31 comprises a protective glass 34 for the screen 6, making it possible to communicate the commands of the user in the case of a touch screen. On the other side, the housing 31 comes into contact with an outer rim 35 of the frame 14.
  • a user takes the device in hand and positions it with the contact surface 5 in physical contact with a watch case in reassembled state, by pressing lightly on the device.
  • the offset 'a' allows this pressure to compress the resilient washer 15, so as to ensure an adequate contact force between the device 1 and the watch case.
  • the device is held in this position using a fixing system for a measurement period of around ten seconds, for example.
  • the user can activate the device via the touch screen 6 or the device can be configured to be activated automatically as soon as it is positioned and pressed against a surface of the watch. A measurement period is then triggered during which the microphone measures the acoustic noises generated by the mechanical movement of the watch.
  • these noises consist of an alternating sequence of two types of pulses of different character, often called 'tic' and 'tac'.
  • the analysis of the pulses allows the calculation of parameters related to the operation of the movement, such as the operating state and the mark.
  • These analyzes and calculations are carried out by the components mounted on the PCB. Several configurations of these components are possible within the framework of the invention. An example of a configuration is shown in figure 4 .
  • the signal generated by the piezoelectric element 20 passes through an amplification stage 40 to a processing unit 41 which comprises an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 42, a microprocessor 43 clocked by a precise oscillator 44 (preferably of the TCXO type - Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator) and a memory 45.
  • ADC analog-to-digital converter
  • the processing unit 41 is connected to an energy management unit 46 connected to the battery, and to the digital screen 6.
  • the microprocessor 43 is configured to calculate the values. parameters, save the values in memory 45, and display the values on the screen 6.
  • the figure 5 shows a schematic illustration of the signal measured by the microphone during a measurement period P.
  • the 'tic' and 'tac' pulses are shown.
  • each pulse consists of a sequence of peaks linked to specific phenomena characterizing the escapement within the movement of the watch.
  • the analysis of the pulses makes it possible to calculate the value of a number of digital parameters which characterize the operation of the movement, such as the frequency of 'ticks' and 'tock'.
  • the operating state (advance or delay of the movement with respect to a reference oscillation obtained by oscillator 44), the reference mark (offset between the tic and tac frequencies), the amplitude of the movements (the angle between the equilibrium position and the point of return of the balance) and the type of escapement (Swiss lever escapement or coaxial escapement).
  • the values of one or more of these parameters are recorded at the end of each measurement period, for example the values of the five parameters identified above (frequency, state walking, etc.).
  • the values can be identified instantly at the end of the measurement period P.
  • a specific mode of operation includes the calculation of the value of the amplitude of the movement, on the basis of the sum 50 of the 'tic' pulses and the sum 51 of the 'tac' pulses picked up by the microphone during the complete duration of the period P. It It has been observed that the sum of the pulses makes it possible to better identify the individual peaks forming part of each of the pulses, and thus to improve the precision of the calculation of the amplitude of the movement.
  • the device is portable and compact, preferably having dimensions of the same order of magnitude as the case of a wristwatch.
  • the device is easy to use and targeted for use by the wearer of the watch, who can use it to periodically check the operation of their watch.
  • the device is therefore useful as a diagnostic device that can be used by the wearer of a watch, so as to collect data relating to the operation and which will enable a specialist to find faults.
