Definitions
- the present invention relates to an indicator hand for a timepiece and a timepiece, in particular a mechanical timepiece, provided with such a needle.
- the hour and minute hands turn above a dial with indications.
- the dial includes areas dedicated to the display of auxiliary information such as the date, the month, the day of the week, the moon phases, the hours and minutes of chronograph, etc.
- the dial can thus include one or more apertures through each of which is visible an indication carried by a disc rotating under the dial.
- the dial can also bear indications with which small hands cooperate located at a height lower than that of the hour and minute hands.
- indicator needles comprising a transparent section and an opaque end section, as described in the documents FR 2867285, DE 29604580 U and DE 822293.
- the transparent section constitutes the part of the needle passing over useful information and the opaque end section constitutes the indicator part of the needle which cooperates with a scale.
- the transparent section remains visible to the user, which can hinder and / or affect the aesthetics of the display.
- the present invention aims to make invisible or almost invisible a section of an indicator needle.
- an indicator hand for a timepiece comprising a fixing part intended to be mounted on an axis and a body extending from the fixing part, the body comprising a first section made entirely of a material transparent and a second opaque section or less transparent than the first section at least when the needle is viewed from above, this second section constituting an indicator part, characterized in that the first section carries, at least on its upper surface and / or lower, an anti-reflective coating and in that the upper surface of the first section is without edge and has, in cross section, a domed or semi-oblong shape.
- FIG. 1 is a top view of a needle for a timepiece according to a first embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a partial longitudinal sectional view of the needle according to the first embodiment, taken along the line A-A of Figure 1;
- - Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the needle according to the first embodiment, taken along the line BB in Figure 1;
- - Figure 4 is a top view of a hand for a timepiece according to a second embodiment of the invention;
- FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the needle according to the second embodiment, taken along line C-C of Figure 4;
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the needle according to the second embodiment, taken along line D-D of Figure 4;
- FIG. 7 schematically shows a dial comprising a window and above which rotates a needle according to the invention
- FIG. 8 shows schematically a dial comprising an area dedicated to a chronograph counter and above which turns a hand according to the invention
- Figures 1 to 3 on the one hand and 4 to 6 on the other hand show two examples of indicator needle for a timepiece, in particular for a wristwatch, pocket watch or pendulum clock, according to the invention.
- the hand 1 a illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 is for example an hour or minute indicator hand or a chronograph hand.
- the hand 1b illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 6 is for example a hand indicating the number of the week in the year (weekly).
- the timepiece is typically mechanical.
- Each of these needles 1a, 1b comprises a fixing part 10a, 10b pierced with a hole 11a, 11b allowing the mounting of the needle by driving, gluing, brazing or the like on an axis. From the fixing part 10a, 10b extends radially a body 12a, 12b.
- the body 12a, 12b consists of a first section 13a, 13b and a distal end section 14a, 14b, the latter constituting the indicator portion of the needle intended to cooperate with numbers and / or index of a graduation.
- the body 12a of the needle 1 a has a shape tapered from one end to the other and its distal end section 14a is therefore the thinnest part of the body 12a.
- the body 12b of the needle 1b has a T shape with a first straight section 13b terminated by the distal end section 14b having the shape of an arc of a circle transverse to the first section 13b.
- the needle 1 a further comprises a counterweight 15a extending from the fixing part 10a in the opposite direction to the body 12a.
- the first section 13a, 13b is made entirely of a transparent material, preferably mineral or organic glass, in particular tempered mineral glass, or sapphire.
- this first section 13a, 13b carries an anti-reflective coating 16a, 16b at least on its upper surface 17a, 17b and / or on its lower surface 18a, 18b, and preferably over its entire surface, the upper surface 17a, 17b being the surface seen by the user when he looks at the dial of the timepiece from above (or from the front).
- the anti-reflective coating 16a, 16b can be of the same type as those used for watch glass.
- the first section 13b of the body 12b of the needle 1b illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 6 is a half-cylinder.
- the upper surface 17a, 17b of the first section 13a, 13b of the body 12a, 12b of these needles is thus curved, without any edge. Thanks to its transparent material, to the anti-reflective coating 16a, 16b and to the convex shape of its upper surface 17a, 17b, the first section 13a, 13b is invisible or almost invisible to the user and therefore does not hide the information carried by the dial.
- the curved shape prevents edges from being seen by the user when looking at the timepiece at an angle.
- the hand can therefore move over the information areas of the dial, such as a window 2 ( Figure 7) or a zone 3 dedicated to a chronograph counter ( Figure 8) and cooperating with a small hand (not shown).
- the hand according to the invention designated by 4
- the transparency of the needle 4 can also be useful to avoid hiding other (large) needles pivoting in the center of the dial 5.
- the body 12a of the needle 1a and the first section 13b of the body 12b of the needle 1b may have a cross section of circular shape (FIG. 9), oblong (FIG. 10) or semi-oblong (Figure 11), giving the upper surface 17a, 17b of the first section 13a, 13b of the body 12a, 12b of these needles a convex shape ( Figure 9) or semi-oblong (straight segment with curved ends; Figures 10 and 11) in cross section.
- At least the surface or surfaces of the first section 13a, 13b which carry the anti-reflective coating 16a, 16b are polished. More preferably, the entire surface of the first section 13a, 13b is polished before the application of the anti-reflective coating 16a, 16b.
- its distal end section 14a, 14b is opaque or less transparent than the first section 13a, 13b, at least when the needle 1 a, 1 b, 4 and the dial 5 are seen from above (or from the front), so as to be visible to the user.
- the needle 1 a, 1 b is in one piece, made of glass or sapphire, and carries the anti-reflective coating 16a, 16b over its entire surface, and its distal end section 14a, 14b is further surface treated to be opaque or less transparent than the first section 13a, 13b.
- the surface treatment of the distal end section 14a, 14b may consist in depositing on the latter an opaque layer 19a, 19b, for example a layer of paint or a metallic layer. This opaque layer 19a, 19b can be deposited only on the upper surface and / or on the lower surface, or over the entire surface of the distal end section 14a, 14b.
- This opaque layer 19a, 19b can be deposited in different ways, for example by physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in the case of a metallic coating.
- the surface treatment of the distal end section 14a, 14b may consist of a frosting or a laser texturing of all or part of the surface of the section 14a, 14b.
- an intermediate piece for example of brass, can be brazed or fixed elastically in the hole 11 a, 11 b and then driven out on the axis.
- first section 13a, 13b and the distal end section 14a, 14b of the body 12a, 12b can be made even more obvious by giving different shapes to the respective upper surfaces of these two sections, as in the example of embodiment of FIGS. 4 to 6 where the upper surface of the distal end section 14b is planar.
- the transparent material chosen in the present invention in particular glass
- the needle 1 a, 1 b can be obtained by an engraving technique.
- the preferred manufacturing methods in the present invention are 3D printing or the technique known under the name of FEMTOPRINT (registered trademark) which consists in locally changing the properties of a transparent material using a femtosecond laser and then subjecting the transparent material to a chemical etching operation aimed at removing the parts treated by laser.
- FEMTOPRINT registered trademark
- the convex or semi-oblong shape of the upper surface 17a, 17b of the first section 13a, 13b lightens the needle 1a, 1b.
- the needle body can further be lightened for example by a groove 20a formed in its lower surface (cf. FIGS. 2 and 3) or a recess produced essentially inside the needle with no outlet, or almost, towards the outside, as allows the FEMTOPRINT process.
- the width e of the body 12a, 12b can be variable, as shown in FIG. 1 for the body 12a, in order to better distribute the stresses and in particular increase its stiffness where the forces are greatest, namely near the part of fixing 10a, 10b.
- the height h of the body 12a, 12b can be variable for a better distribution of the stresses.
- the needle according to the invention can also have a non-rectilinear profile, of curved shape or with recesses, for example to follow a curvature of the dial or to pass over the barrel of another needle or of another three-dimensional member. while keeping the indicator part of the needle close to the dial.
- the body of the needle according to the invention could have several opaque parts serving as indicator parts and several first transparent sections carrying an anti-reflective coating.
