Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of watchmaking, and in particular a watch comprising trim parts.
  • the invention relates to a watch comprising a dial comprising a fixed part and a mobile part.
  • timepieces in particular watches, which comprise movable elements on their dial for decorative use, for example kinematically connected to a watch movement which said timepieces comprise.
  • the watch movement is adapted to move the moving elements according to the current time in order to generate a decor that changes over time.
  • the invention solves the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a watch whose appearance can be modified according to the wishes of the user.
  • the present invention relates to a watch comprising a dial comprising a fixed part superimposed on a movable part in rotation comprising a surface on which are arranged areas of visual appearance different from each other.
  • the fixed part comprises at least one through-opening opening onto at least one of the zones, the movable part being kinematically connected to a control member so as to be driven in rotation by actuation of said control member and being configured so that when it is driven in rotation, the areas of different visual aspect appear successively through the opening.
  • the user can thus, on the one hand, modify the appearance of the dial of the watch by choosing the orientation of the mobile part so that the openings reveal areas with the desired visual aspects, and on the other hand obtain a attractive visual effect and an interactive decor during the rotation of the mobile part.
  • the invention may also include one or more of the following characteristics, taken separately or in all technically possible combinations.
  • the zones having the same visual appearance have an identical shape and dimensions
  • the fixed part comprising at least two openings separated from each other by a bridge of material.
  • Said openings and said bridge of material each substantially have a shape and dimensions corresponding to those of a zone, and are distributed so that each of the openings can reveal only one zone.
  • the zones are arranged in the form of circular sectors adjacent to each other so that two successive circular sectors have a different visual appearance.
  • two successive zones have the same visual appearance, a bridge of material having a shape and dimensions corresponding to those of the pair formed by said two successive zones.
  • the movable part comprises a circular crown provided with a central orifice comprising internal toothing in meshing relationship with a toothed wheel adapted to be driven in rotation by the control member.
  • the movable part comprises a circular crown provided with a central orifice, and comprises a disk arranged in the central orifice of the circular crown.

  • the mobile part is kinematically connected to the control member so that the transmission ratios are such that the rotation of the mobile part is able to produce motion blurring of the areas visible through the openings. .
  • control member is formed by a crown stem connected to a crown.
  • the transmission ratios are chosen so that when the crown is pivoted by one revolution, the movable part is rotated by at least one revolution.
  • the disk and the circular crown are meshed alternately by a sliding pinion, depending on the direction of rotation of the crown.
  • the watch comprises a system for maintaining the movable part in position allowing it to be indexed according to at least one predefined position.
  • the present invention relates to a watch comprising a dial 100 and a control member 200 as represented in isolation on the figures 1 to 3 .
  • the watch comprises, in a manner known per se, a case composed of a middle part, a bezel and a back, said case forming an internal volume in which is housed a horological movement intended to rotate the hour hands, the minutes, and possibly seconds.
  • a case composed of a middle part, a bezel and a back said case forming an internal volume in which is housed a horological movement intended to rotate the hour hands, the minutes, and possibly seconds.
  • the aforementioned constituent elements of the watch are not shown in the figures because they are known as such to those skilled in the art and do not pertain as such to the present invention.
  • the dial 100 is arranged so as to be interposed between a crystal and the watch movement, in a manner known to those skilled in the art.
  • the dial 100 comprises a fixed part 110 integral with the middle part, the bezel or the watch movement, and superimposed on a mobile part 120 in rotation connected kinematically to the control member 200, as shown by the figures 1 to 3 , so as to be driven in rotation by the actuation of said control member 200 by a user.
  • the fixed 110 and mobile 120 parts are in the form of flat thin parts and have central orifices 111 and 121 concentric, through which barrels of the needles are provided to be engaged.
  • the mobile part 120 is capable of pivoting about an axis of rotation orthogonal to a plane defined by the fixed part 110.
  • the axis of rotation of the movable part 120 is intended to coincide with the axis of rotation of the needles.
  • the movable part 120 is, in the preferred embodiment shown in the figures, made in the form of a circular crown and comprises a surface on which are arranged areas 122 and 123 of different visual appearance from each other.
  • the zones 122 and 123 are distributed over the surface of the circular crown so as to divide it into a plurality of circular sectors adjacent to each other, two successive circular sectors having a different visual appearance.
  • areas 122 and 123 may have other geometric shapes.
  • the visual aspect can in particular be defined by the color, the surface condition, for example the roughness of the surface, the presence of reliefs, the reflection of light, etc., and can be obtained by any means of decoration or machining within the reach of those skilled in the art, such as depositing a coating, setting stones, surface finishing, such as polishing, etc.
  • Zones 122 and 123 can present, by way of example, two different aspects, represented on the exploded view of the picture 3 by the presence or absence of radial grooves. Alternatively, it is conceivable to provide advantages of zones of different appearance from each other.
  • the fixed part 110 is, in the preferred embodiment shown in the figures, made in the form of a disc and comprises at least one through-opening 112 leading to at least one of the zones 122 or 123 so that the latter are visible to a user, and so that when the movable part 120 is rotated, the zones 122 and 123 appear successively opposite the opening 112.
  • the openings 112 reveal the areas 123 comprising radial grooves.
  • the movable part 120 is kinematically connected to the control member 200 so as to promote the rotation of the movable part 120 at a substantially high speed, which allows, by the successive appearances of zones 122 and 123 of different visual aspects, through the openings 112, so as to generate a particular optical effect characterized by motion blur.
  • This motion blur due to a phenomenon of retinal persistence, makes it possible to generate an attractive interactive decoration on the dial 100, visible through the openings 112.
  • the invention allows customization of the dial 100 insofar as the user can choose which zones 122 or 123 to leave visible through the openings 112. In other words, the user can, by stopping the rotation of the mobile part 120, choose what visual aspect to give to the 100 dial.
  • the present invention has a double aesthetic interest. Indeed, the invention allows on the one hand the generation of an interactive decoration during the displacement of the mobile part 120, and on the other hand, the maintenance in position, in a certain angular position, of the said mobile part 120 , in order to display, through the openings 112, areas 122 or 123 having a visual aspect chosen by the user, to personalize the appearance of the watch.
  • the fixed part 110 comprises a plurality of openings 112, the latter being separated from one another or from each other by a bridge of material 113.
  • Each opening 112 and the or each bridge of material 113 have preferably respectively substantially a shape and dimensions corresponding to those of a zone 122 or 123, and are distributed so that the openings 112 can reveal only the zones 122 or 123 having the same visual appearance.
  • This arrangement advantageously allows the user to further personalize the aesthetic appearance of the watch.
  • the fixed part 110 has as many openings 112 as there are zones 122 or 123 having the same visual appearance.
  • two successive zones 122 or 123 have the same visual appearance, and that a bridge of material 113 has a shape and dimensions corresponding to those of the pair formed by said two successive zones 122 or 123.
  • the mobile part 120 and the fixed part 110 have an odd number respectively of zone 122 and 123 and of openings 112.
  • This characteristic allows the user, by choosing the angular position of the mobile part 120, to be able to display through the openings 112 zones 122 and 123 presenting different visual aspects, each opening 112 showing only a single zone 122 or 123.
  • the central orifice 121 of the circular crown comprises an internal toothing (not shown) in meshing relationship with a wheel drive 210 adapted to be driven in rotation by the control member 200.
  • the drive wheel 210 meshes with an intermediate wheel 211 engaged with a transmission pinion 212 connected to the control member 200.
  • control member 200 is formed by a crown rod 220 to which the transmission pinion 212 is fixed and comprising a crown 221 at one of its ends.
  • the pivoting of the crown 221 causes, through the transmission pinion 212, the rotation of the intermediate wheel 211, which causes the rotation of the drive wheel 210 and therefore the rotation of the movable part 120.
  • the transmission ratios can be chosen so that when the crown 221 is pivoted by one turn by the user, the mobile part 120 is pivoted by at least one turn.
  • the tangential speed of the moving part 120 for example at a point on its periphery, is always considerably higher than that of the crown 221, due to the significant difference between the values of their respective radii. This characteristic makes it possible to promote and facilitate the appearance of motion blur.
  • the present invention also makes it possible to easily control the angular positioning of the mobile part 120 in order to to be able to select a visual aspect to be displayed by moving the mobile part 120 so as to make the desired zones 122 or 123 appear opposite the openings 112.
  • the watch may comprise a system for maintaining the mobile part 120 in position (not shown) allowing it to be indexed according to one or more predefined angular positions.
  • the position-maintaining system can be formed by a jumper fixed by one of its ends to the middle part, to the bezel or to the watch movement.
  • the jumper has at its other end a tooth intended to be engaged in a notch made on the periphery of the movable part 120.
  • the mobile part 120 comprises several notches regularly distributed over its periphery, and separated from each other by an angle corresponding to the angle separating two successive zones 122 and 123, so that in each predefined angular position likely to be occupied by the mobile part 120, the openings 112 each reveal a single zone 122 or 123.
  • the movable part 120 comprises two movable elements, including a circular crown provided with a central orifice and a disk with a diameter less than the diameter of the central orifice, arranged inside said central orifice, said disc and said circular crown being concentric and both connected kinematically to the control member 200.
  • the disc and the circular crown can be meshed alternately by a sliding pinion, depending on the direction of rotation of the crown 221.
  • the disc may include a toothing, for example external, in meshing relationship with a first drive wheel and the crown 221 may include a toothing, for example internal, in meshing relationship with a second drive wheel. coaching.
  • the first and second drive wheels can be arranged so as to be alternately engaged with the sliding pinion, which is for example mounted on a rocker, said sliding pinion being moreover meshed with the transmission pinion 212.
  • the sliding pinion meshes with the first drive wheel and transmits the rotational movement of crown 221 to the disc so that the latter pivots
  • the sliding pinion engages with the second drive wheel and transmits the rotational movement of crown 221 to the circular crown so that the latter pivots
  • this arrangement with sliding pinion makes it possible to act as a clutch mechanism in the kinematic chain connecting the control member 200 and the movable part 120 when the latter is driven in rotation.
  • the sliding pinion makes it possible to separate the control member 200 and the movable part 120 so that when it is in motion, the movable part 120 does not drive the control member 200.
  • control member 200 being always driving and not being able to be driven, the risk of damage to the parts transmitting forces between the moving part 120 and the control member 200 is avoided. For example, such a risk may arise if the control member 200 is blocked while the mobile part 120 is still moving.
  • first and second drive wheels prefferably be kinematically connected to each other. the other, either by meshing directly with each other, or via one or more toothed wheels.
  • control member 200 may be a pusher connected to the drive wheel 210 by a mechanism for converting a translational movement into a rotational movement.
