Definitions

  • the invention relates to a watch with a variable dial, more precisely, a watch offering its wearer the possibility of partially changing the appearance of the dial.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide a watch whose appearance can be changed by partially modifying the color, material and/or relief of the dial of this watch.
  • this goal is achieved by a watch according to the attached claim 1.
  • variable dial watch An embodiment of the variable dial watch according to the invention is shown in the figures 1 to 7 .
  • the watch according to the invention comprises a dial 1 equipped with at least one bezel, in this case, four bezels 2, 3, 4 and 5 visible on the figure 1 and which removably occupy four corresponding openings, two of which only, numbered 6 and 7, associated respectively with hubcaps 3 and 5, appear on the figure 2 .
  • the wheel trims can all be the same color or have different colors and/or identical or different surface finishes (reliefs, textures). Their precise shape is not important, provided that their upper face can completely fill an opening, except for a functional gap necessary to allow the trim to be inserted and removed from that opening.
  • the bezels are generally rectangular. However, they could also be circular, oval, triangular, etc. Their thickness is not important. They may protrude slightly from the plane of the dial, but only to a limited extent, so as not to obstruct the passage of the watch hands. Naturally, the shape of the opening corresponds to the shape of the bezel.
  • the bezels can be detached from their openings and replaced with other bezels that are invisible to the wearer from the front of the watch dial.
  • These other bezels typically have different colors and/or surface finishes.
  • the watch has a plurality of radially arranged support arms, each end of a support arm located on the circumference bearing a bezel.
  • bezels 3 and 5 of the figure 2 are carried respectively by support arms 9 and 10.
  • All the support arms can pivot from a lowered position, where they are hidden by the dial, to a raised position.
  • all wheel trims can move from a lowered position to a raised position.
  • the free ends 12,13 of the support arms 9,10, visible on the figure 2 are located near the center of the frustoconical piece 11.
  • the support arms 9, 10 have pivot points 14, 15 situated between the free ends 12, 13 and those bearing the trim pieces 3, 5.
  • the pivot points 14, 15 are formed between the upper face of the frustoconical piece 11 and a retaining ring 16, which is more clearly visible on the figure 3 , which is fixed, for example by screwing, on the upper face of the truncated conical piece 11 leaving a space for the support arms 9,10.
  • the truncated conical piece 11 has a bore in its center allowing it to house a spring 19, visible in particular on the figures 2 And 4
  • this spring 19 When this spring 19 is compressed, a situation visible on the figure 4 , the truncated conical piece 11 is close to the dial 1, the pins 17,18 therefore press on the free ends 12,13 of the support arms 9,10 thus causing them to pivot and move into a fully raised position and thus causing the bezels 3,5 to enter the openings 6,7. It follows that these bezels 3,5 become visible to the wearer of the watch.
  • the axial displacement of the frustoconical part 11 is carried out under the action of the spring 19, but it is controlled by two pinching arms 20, 21 visible on the figure 5
  • These clamping arms 20,21 preferably have a straight part extending into a curved part in order to reduce the angular displacement of the clamping arms 20,21 necessary to clamp the cylindrical part 11.
  • the two clamping arms 20,21 cooperate in order to exert a clamping force on the frustoconical part 11.
  • the free ends of the clamping arms 20, 21 are fixed to a mounting piece 22 integral with the watch frame.
  • the straight sections of the clamping arms 20, 21 intersect approximately at their midpoints, and at the point of intersection, each has an oblong hole through which a pin 24 passes.
  • This pin is integral with one end of a lever 25, the other end of this lever 25 being pivotally mounted on the mounting piece 22. A connection is made between these two ends of the lever 25. the winding stem 26 of the watch. Therefore, when this winding stem 26 is pulled, the lever 25 is also pulled, and the end of this lever, carrying the axle 24, moves the axle inside the oblong holes of the arms 20, 21.
  • the winding stem 26 can also rotate around its longitudinal axis.
  • this crown drives the winding stem 26 in rotation.
  • the end of the winding stem 26 opposite the end into which the crown is driven is fitted with a sliding pinion (not shown) that can mesh with a gear train 27 visible on the figure 6 and cooperating with a finger (not shown) driving in rotation a toothed wheel 28 made secure by two pins 29,30 to the truncated conical piece 11.
  • the jumper 31 preferably has sufficient thickness to allow it to remain in contact with the gear 28 when the latter moves up and down as a unit with the frustoconical piece 11.
  • the jumper 31 allows the gear 28 to be in a correct angular position to cooperate with the finger which is intended to drive it in rotation.
  • a locking pin 32 visible on the figure 7 is provided on the upper face of the truncated conical piece 11 to engage in a bore provided correspondingly on the rear side of the dial 1 and prevent the carousel 8 from rotating.
