Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of watchmaking, and in particular to watch complications.
  • the invention relates to a watch adapted to generate a sequential animation.
  • Animations are part of the answers provided in response to this need. In addition, they often contribute to the notoriety of a watch. These animations are for example formed by watch complications, such as a tourbillon, a moon phase, a chronograph, etc. or by an oscillating weight.
  • the document EP 3 839 647 A1 shows a moiré effect winding assembly for an automatic timepiece movement.
  • the present invention falls within this problem of providing a user with a watch whose visual appearance is unique and particularly attractive.
  • the invention relates to a watch comprising a case comprising a middle part to which a crystal and a transparent back are fixed so as to form an internal volume.
  • Said watch comprises a watch movement housed in the internal volume of the case, comprising a structure carrier through which extends a shaft adapted to be rotated by said watch movement and carrying, at one of its ends opening beyond said carrier structure, opposite the glass, an indicator of a time value, and at the other end opening beyond said carrier structure, opposite the back, a disc on which extends a pattern opposite a graphic representation.
  • the pattern and the graphic representation are shaped so that, when the shaft rotates, they cooperate with each other in order to generate a sequential animation by moiré effect formed by a sequence of at least two distinct images.
  • an animation is generated by taking advantage of the energy provided by the watch movement.
  • the rotation of the disc makes it possible to generate an animation whose speed is relatively high.
  • the invention advantageously makes it possible, in particular, to generate an animation from an existing conventional watch movement, without requiring significant modifications to the latter.
  • the invention may further comprise one or more of the following features, taken individually or in any technically possible combination.
  • the graphic representation is formed on a background glass.
  • the pattern and the graphic representation are shaped such that, upon rotation of the shaft, they cooperate with each other to generate a sequential animation formed by a sequence of four distinct images.
  • the indicator of a time value is a second hand, the shaft being rotated so as to complete one revolution in one minute.
  • the pattern and graphic representation are shaped such that between two successive generated images, the disk rotates six degrees.
  • the base is formed by a fixing ring onto which a crystal is driven, the graphic representation extending over one face of said crystal.
  • the fixing ring is screwed against the caseband by a plurality of screws distributed around its periphery, each engaged in a tapped hole extending into the caseband.
  • the graphic representation is produced by depositing a thin layer on a face of the bottom arranged opposite the watch movement and forming a set of opaque zones.
  • the pattern is formed by a plurality of identical spirals extending from the center of the disc to its periphery, and being distributed regularly around the center of the disc, said pattern being produced by the deposition of a thin layer on one face of the disc arranged opposite the bottom.
  • the disc and the ice are separated by a distance of less than 0.5 mm.
  • the disc advantageously has a diameter of approximately 10 mm.
  • the pattern and graphical representation are configured such that the sequential animation involves moving an element in a rectilinear direction.
  • the invention relates to a watch 10 adapted to generate a sequential animation, in particular visible through a transparent background 14.
  • the watch 10 comprises a case 11 comprising a caseband 12 to which a crystal 13 and the transparent back 14 are fixed.
  • the caseband 12, the crystal 13 and the back 14 form an internal volume in which is housed a watch movement 15 shown schematically on the Figure 1 .
  • the bottom 14 is formed, in particular in the preferred embodiment of the invention, by a fixing ring 140 onto which a crystal 141 is driven, as shown in Figure 1 .
  • this fixing ring 140 is screwed against the caseband 12 by a plurality of screws 120 distributed around its periphery, each of the screws 120 being engaged in a tapped hole extending into the caseband 12. This characteristic, visible on the figures 4 to 7 , allows the bottom 14 to be fixed to the middle 12 according to a very precise relative angular position.
  • the watch movement 15 comprises a supporting structure through which extends a shaft 16 kinematically connected to a driving member of the watch movement 15 so as to be driven in rotation.
  • the supporting structure is known per se to those skilled in the art and consists of bridges and/or a plate.
  • the driving member of the watch movement 15 is known per se to those skilled in the art and may be formed by a barrel spring, an electric motor, etc.
  • the shaft 16 extends between two ends, one of which, called the “upper end”, opens beyond said supporting structure, opposite the glass 13, and the other of which, called the “lower end”, opens beyond said supporting structure, opposite the bottom 14.
  • the shaft 16 carries, at its upper end, an indicator of a time value 17, preferably formed by a second hand, as shown in the Figure 1 in an exemplary embodiment of the invention, and at its lower end, a disc 18.
  • the time value indicator 17 and the disc 18 may each be attached to the shaft 16 by means of a barrel, as illustrated in FIG. Figure 1 .
  • the shaft 16 is therefore preferably driven in rotation so as to complete a complete revolution in one minute.
  • the shaft 16 is therefore driven in a rotation of six degrees every second.
  • the disc 18 comprises a body 180 on which an opaque pattern 181 extends, preferably on a face arranged opposite the base 14.
  • the pattern 181 has, in the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures 2 And 4 to 7 , an overall shape of several spirals all starting from the same central point of the disc 18 and extending from said center to the periphery of the disc 18. Said spirals are identical to each other and each represents a portion of an Archimedean spiral. These spirals are distributed regularly around the center of the disc 18, preferably extend over an angle of twenty-four degrees and are preferably separated from each other by an angle of six degrees.
  • each spiral is defined between two curves conforming to Archimedean spirals, said curves delimiting the contours of said spiral, the distance between said curves is representative of a rotation of the disc 18 over an angle of twenty-four degrees.
  • the distance between these two curves is representative of a rotation of the disk 18 through an angle of six degrees.
  • the pattern 181 is produced by depositing a thin layer, for example metallic.
  • the body 180 of the disc 18 can be made of a transparent material, for example glass or sapphire, or opaque, such as a metal or a polymer.
  • the bottom 14 comprises, on one face of the glass 141 opposite the watch movement 15, a graphic representation 142 as shown in the Figure 3 in an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
  • the graphic representation 142 is formed by a set of opaque zones contrasting with the transparency of the rest of the glass 141 of the bottom 14.
  • the graphic representation 142 is produced by a deposit of a thin layer, for example metallic.
  • the pattern 181 and the graphic representation 142 can be produced by screen printing, decalcomania, surface treatment, painting, enameling, etc.
  • the graphic representation 142 and the pattern 181 are arranged to be opposite each other. More precisely, they are arranged so that the pattern 181 is opposite at least a part of the graphic representation 142. Furthermore, the graphic representation 142, and in particular the opaque areas, has a shape such that its alignment with the disc 18 generates an image, depending on the angular position of said disc 18, as visible on the figures 4 to 7 .
  • the image is generated by cooperation between the graphic representation 142 and the pattern 181.
  • the pattern 181 and the graphic representation 142 are shaped so that, during the rotation of the shaft 16, they cooperate with each other in order to generate a sequential animation by moiré effect formed by a sequence of at least two distinct images appearing through the background 14, a new image being generated with each successive rotation of the disc 18.
  • the rotation of the shaft 16 thus makes it possible to generate a visual effect of homogeneous fading of the colors of the pattern 181 and of the body of the disc 18.
  • the rotation of the shaft 16, and therefore of the disc 18, makes it possible to generate a sequential animation by moiré effect formed by four successive images, as visible in the figures 4 to 7
  • This sequential animation consists, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, of moving an element 19, in this case a character, in a rectilinear direction, as successively shown in the aforementioned figures.
  • the disc 18 can be arranged at a very short distance from the bottom 14, and from the crystal 141 in particular, so that a user cannot distinguish any offset between the pattern 181 and the graphic representation 142.
  • the distance separating the disc 18 and the crystal 141 is of the order of a few tenths of a millimeter, preferably less than 0.5 mm, for example 0.2 mm.
  • the disc 18 must have dimensions large enough for the pattern 181 to be easily visible, while being narrow enough to limit inertia and the risk of imbalance.
  • the disc 18 advantageously has a diameter of several millimeters, for example, approximately 10 mm.
  • the watch 10 comprises, on a first face, the display of at least one watch function, such as the display of the current time, and on a second face, the sequential animation.
  • the animation is intended to be active, continuously, under the drive of the clock movement 15.
  • the invention is advantageously suitable for any existing watch movement for the creation of sequential animations, with a reasonable cost. Furthermore, it may possibly generate an increase in the thickness of the watch case 11, but this is negligible insofar as the additional thickness is limited to the thickness of the disc 18 and the safety clearances between said disc 18 and the watch movement 15 on the one hand, and the glass 141 of the back 14 on the other hand.
  • the graphic representation 142 may be formed on a structural element of the watch movement 15, for example on a bridge or a plate of the latter, instead of being formed on the crystal 141 of the back 14.
  • the graphic representation 142 may be arranged on one side or the other of the pattern 181.
  • the invention can be implemented both for watches comprising mechanical watch movements and for watches comprising electric or electromechanical watch movements.
