  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a timepiece using a timepiece hand according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view and a cross-sectional view of a main part as a second hand in FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG. 2B shows a cross-sectional view of the main part. 3 is a plan view and a principal part sectional view of a pointer as a minute hand in FIG. 1, FIG. 3A is a plan view, and FIG. 3B is a principal part sectional view. 4 is a plan view and a principal part sectional view of the pointer as an hour hand in FIG. 1, FIG. 4A is a plan view, and FIG. 4B is a principal part sectional view. FIG. 5 is a perspective view for explaining a state at the time of assembling the second hand, the minute hand, and the hour hand according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the timepiece according to the present embodiment includes a second hand 13, a minute hand 16, and an hour hand 19 on a timepiece display plate 21 to form a timepiece. A timepiece hand 20 is composed of three types of hands: the second hand 13, the minute hand 16, and the hour hand 19. Some timepieces having a multi-function among the timepieces are provided with a pointer as a multi-function hand that displays a function according to the function of the timepiece. Although there is a timepiece without a second hand, in this embodiment, a pointer 20 constituted by three types of hands, that is, a second hand 13, a minute hand 16, and an hour hand 19, will be described.

As shown in FIG. 2, the pointer as the second hand 13 is configured by fixing a hook 12 to a second hand body 11. The second hand 11 is formed by cutting a metal plate into an elongated shape. The convex portion of the hook 12 is inserted into a ring-shaped small hole provided in the rotation center axis region, and a crimp 12b is applied to the hook 12 and the second hand. 11 is integrated. Hakama 12 has a small hole 12a at its center,
A second indicator shaft for a second hand of a movement (not shown) is inserted into the small hole 12a, and the second hand 13 is fixed to the indicator shaft. The second hand body 11 is formed into a required shape by press working using a brass plate or the like and is subjected to surface finishing. In the present embodiment, the surface 11a (the surface that hits the viewing side) is diamond cut to finish it as a mirror-like glossy surface, then nickel plating is applied as the base plating, and gold plating is applied as the finishing plating. The hakama 12 is made of brass or the like, and has a gold plating finish on the nickel base plating.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the pointer as the minute hand 16 is provided with a protruding boss 16 d having a small hole 16 c around the rotation center axis, and is formed by pressing a brass plate material. The surface 16a of this minute hand 16 (the surface that contacts the viewing side, hereinafter, the surface that contacts the viewing side of the second hand, minute hand, and hour hand is expressed as the surface, and the surface opposite to the surface is expressed as the back surface) is subjected to diamond cutting. Finished with a specular glossy decorative surface. Further, the back surface 16b is buffed to remove burrs on the fractured surface of the press, and the surface of the material is polished to give a polished decorative surface with a polished specification. Then, the entire minute hand 16 is nickel-plated as a base plating and finished to a decorative surface with gold plating as a finish plating. Therefore, the decorative surface of the front surface 16a is a mirror-like decorative surface having a golden color tone, and the decorative surface of the back surface 16b is a glossy decorative surface having a golden color tone. The minute hand 16 is fixed by inserting a small hole 16c provided in the minute hand 16 into a pointer shaft for a minute hand of a movement (not shown).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the pointer as the hour hand 19 is provided with a protruding boss 19d having a small hole 19c around the rotation center axis, and is formed by pressing a brass plate material. The surface 19a is subjected to diamond cutting to form a glossy decorative surface that is a mirror surface of diamond cutting specifications. The entire hour hand 19 is nickel-plated as a base plating and gold-plated as a finish plating. Therefore, the surface 19a of the hour hand 19 is a decorative surface having a specular gloss with a golden color tone. The hour hand 19 is fixed by inserting a small hole 19c provided in the hour hand 19 into a pointer shaft for an hour hand of a movement (not shown).

  When the second hand 13, the minute hand 16, and the hour hand 19 configured as described above are attached to the respective pointer shafts of the movement, the attached state shown in FIG. 5 is obtained. FIG. 5 shows a state in which a part of the overlap between the minute hand 16 and the hour hand 19 occurs. The hour hand 19 and the minute hand 1 overlap each other for several minutes once an hour.

  Since the front surface 19a of the hour hand 19 has a diamond-cut specular glossy surface, the surface 19a of the hour hand 19 overlaps with the minute hand 16, that is, the portion indicated by the oblique lines in FIG. An image 19e in which the decorative surface is projected appears. Then, the projected image 19e is visually recognized through a gap of 0.3 to 0.4 mm between the hour hand 19 and the minute hand 16. In the present embodiment, the image 19e of the back surface 16b of the minute hand 16 projected on the front surface 19a of the hour hand 19 is a glossy surface without burrs of the polishing specification, so there is a noticeable difference in appearance from the diamond cut specification surface. Furthermore, it is hardly noticeable because it has the same gold-plated color tone. Then, the second hand 13, the minute hand 16, and the hour hand 19 have a specular glossiness and a gold-colored noble metal feeling, and a high-class feeling appears on the watch.

  In the present embodiment, the surface 16a of the minute hand 16 and the surface 19a of the hour hand 19 are made to have a glossy surface that is a mirror surface of diamond cut specifications and have a decorative surface of the same specification. In addition, the back surface 16b of the minute hand 16 is made a glossy decorative surface with a polishing specification, and the external surface specification of the surface 19a of the hour hand 19 and the decorative surface of the back surface 16b of the minute hand 16 have an external appearance specification that is not noticeably different. I have to.

In the present invention, the decorative pattern on the back surface 16b of the minute hand 16 projected on the front surface 19a of the hour hand 19 can be emphasized. For example, a stamping process is performed by pressing, and a concave and convex stamping pattern is added to the back surface 16b of the minute hand 16, and the projected pattern is projected on the surface 19a of the hour hand 19 so that the projected pattern has a three-dimensional effect. A beautiful pattern can appear. Further, when various etching patterns are formed by etching the back surface 16b of the minute hand 16 and the etching pattern is projected on the surface 19a of the hour hand 19, a noticeable and beautiful pattern is displayed. Further, when a decorative surface such as a shell, stone, lame, or Japanese paper is pasted on the back surface 16b of the minute hand 16, and the decorative specifications are projected on the surface 19a of the hour hand 19, the unique color pattern of the decorative member is obtained. Appear. In this way, when various color patterns appear beautifully on the surface 19a of the hour hand 19, the appearance does not feel uncomfortable, but rather, interestingness, unusualness, preciousness, etc. are born. Then, it is possible to obtain an unusual watch having a hidden decoration that is visible only when the minute hand 16 and the hour hand 19 overlap each other, which is not normally visible.

  Also, a metal film specification in which a plated metal film is formed by plating or a paint film specification formed by painting or printing can be used as a decorative surface specification. The metal film can emphasize the anticorrosive effect and the metal color tone, and the paint film can exhibit the anticorrosive effect and various color tones. For example, when it is desired to emphasize the diamond-cut specification surface, the diamond-cut surface can be emphasized by coating a transparent resin film. And the anticorrosion effect is also acquired. In this way, when a decorative surface is formed by combining at least two types of specifications such as diamond cutting specifications, polishing specifications, stamping pattern specifications, etching pattern specifications, plating metal film specifications, paint film specifications, etc., the anticorrosion effect, pattern It is possible to give variations to the video that is displayed with the effect and the color tone effect. In addition, when an aluminum material is used as the material of the pointer, the alumite specification surface-treated with alumite is effective for preventing corrosion and coloring the tone. In addition, since the material is lightweight, a thick material can be used. Therefore, it is possible to form a three-dimensional pattern on the surface by stamping or the like. The plating is not limited to electrolytic plating, and dry plating methods such as vacuum deposition and sputtering may be used.

  In the present embodiment, the surface 16a of the minute hand 16 and the surface 19a of the hour hand 19 are made of a diamond-cut specular glossy decorative surface, and the back surface 16b of the minute hand 16 is a polished specular decorative surface. However, the back surface 16b of the minute hand 16 may be a decorative surface with other specifications. For example, when a diamond-cut decorative surface is used, the surface 16a of the minute hand 16 is the same as the decorative surface of the surface 19a of the hour hand 19, and the image of the back surface 16b of the minute hand 16 projected on the surface 19a of the hour hand 19 has the same color tone. Since it has the same gloss, it is almost unknown. It is also possible to apply an etching pattern to the back surface 16b of the minute hand 16 after applying a diamond cut specification. In this way, the image of the back surface 16b of the minute hand 16 projected on the front surface 19a of the hour hand 19 shows a matte pattern in the glossy surface of the golden color tone, and the variation of the image can be increased. Various images can be displayed by increasing the decoration specifications of the decorative surface to two or three types.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the timepiece hand of the present invention will be described. First, Example 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. The minute hand of Example 1 is a minute hand with a hook, and the minute hand and the hook are fixed by caulking, and the minute hand and the hook are integrated. 6 shows a plan view and a cross-sectional view of the main part of the minute hand according to the first embodiment. FIG. 6 (a) is a plan view of the minute hand body, and FIG. 6 (b) is FIG. 6 (a). FIG. 6C is a sectional view taken along the line DD in FIG. 6A, FIG. 6D is a plan view of the minute hand with a hook, and FIG. 6E. FIG. 6 shows a cross-sectional view of the main part of the minute hand with a hook in FIG. 7 is a plan view and a cross-sectional view of the main part of the hour hand according to the first embodiment. FIG. 7 (a) is a plan view, and FIG. 7 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the main part of the hour hand in FIG. The figure is shown. 8A and 8B are a plan view and a main part sectional view of the second hand according to the first embodiment, in which FIG. 8A is a plan view and FIG. 8B is a main part sectional view. FIG. 9 is a perspective view illustrating a state when the minute hand, the hour hand, and the second hand in the first embodiment are assembled.

  The pointer of the minute hand 26 of the first embodiment is attached with a hook, and as shown in FIGS. 6D and 6E, the hook 25 is caulked and fixed to the minute needle body 24. Accordingly, the surface of the minute hand 26 is composed of the surface 24 a of the minute hand body 24, and the back surface of the minute hand 26 is composed of the back surface 24 b of the minute hand body 24. Here, the minute hand body 24 is formed by press working using a brass plate. The surface 24a of the minute hand 26 has a mountain shape and is formed of a surface having two inclined surfaces, an inclined surface 24a1 and an inclined surface 24a2. The two inclined surfaces 24a1 and 24a2 have a diamond-cut specification by diamond-cut processing, and form a glossy surface that is a mirror surface. The back surface 24b is also a glossy surface that is a mirror surface of diamond cut specifications. Then, nickel plating is applied as the base plating, and rhodium plating is applied as the finish plating to finish the decorative surface in a white metal color tone. Therefore, the decorative surface of the front surface 24a and the decorative surface of the back surface 24b of the minute hand 26 are both finished to be a decorative surface having a specular glossy surface in white metal color tone.

  The minute hand 26 forming the decorative surface is formed as follows. First, the shape of the minute hand body 24 is pressed by pressing the band material, and the minute needle body 24 that has been punched out by the push back method is returned to the trace of the band material and flattened to flatten the minute hand body 24 and the band material. Arrange sex. Next, the diamond shape is cut into a slope shape. This diamond cutting is performed by rotating an approximately cup-shaped rotating jig (attached to and fixed to the rotating shaft at the tip of the spindle) with a diamond cutting tool attached to the outer periphery, and tilting either the inclined surface 24a1 or the inclined surface 24a2. After the surface is cut and the diamond cut of one inclined surface is finished, the procedure of cutting the other inclined surface is taken. Next, when the diamond-shaped diamond cut is completed, the minute hand 24 is dropped from the band material, and the single minute hand 24 is attached to the processing jig to cut the back surface 24b. As a result, all burrs and the like by the press are removed, and the surface is also finished to a mirror surface. Next, the convex portion of the hook body 25 is inserted into the small hole 24c of the minute needle body 24, and the small hole 25c at the center of the convex portion is tapped lightly to fix the minute needle body 24 and the hook member 25 by caulking. Next, nickel plating by electrolytic plating is performed as the base plating, and finally, rhodium plating is performed as the finish plating to cover the plated metal film. The minute hand 26 is formed through the above steps.

  Next, the hour hand 29 of Example 1 is made of a brass material, and the surface 29a of the hour hand 29 has a mountain shape as shown in FIG. It has surfaces 29a1 and 29a2. A boss 29d provided with a small hole 29c is provided around the rotating shaft. The two inclined surfaces 29a1 and 29a2 of the surface 29a are both decorated with a diamond-cut specular gloss surface. At this time, the needle 29 is nickel-plated as a base plating and rhodium-plated as a finish plating. The surface 29a of the hour hand 29 formed in such a specification has a white metallic color tone and forms a glossy decorative surface that is a mirror surface. The diamond-cut specification surfaces of the two inclined surfaces 29a1 and 29a2 are formed by the same processing method as the inclined surface of the minute hand 26 described above.

As shown in FIG. 8, the pointer which is the second hand 23 in the first embodiment is configured by fixing a hook 22 to a second hand body 21. The second hand body 21 is formed by cutting a brass plate into an elongated shape, and the region of the center axis of rotation has a ring shape, and the convex portion of the hook 22 is inserted into the ring-shaped small hole, and the caulking 22b is inserted. As a result, the hook 22 and the second hand 21 are integrated. The hook 22 has a small hole 22a at its center, and a pointer shaft for a second hand of a movement (not shown) is inserted into the small hole 22a so that the second hand 23 is fixed to the pointer shaft. The second hand body 21 is formed into a required shape by press working using a brass plate and surface-finished. In Example 1, the surface 21a is diamond cut to finish it as a mirror-like glossy surface, then nickel plating is applied as the base plating, and rhodium plating is applied as the finishing plating. The hack 22 is made of a brass material or the like, and has a rhodium plating finish plating on a nickel base plating. Accordingly, the surface 21a of the second hand 23 forms a decorative surface having a specular gloss with a white metal color tone by rhodium plating. The surface and side surfaces of the hakama 22 are subjected to diamond cutting to form a specular gloss surface. Needless to say, the front surface, the back surface, and the side surface of the hack 22 may be finished by grinding, grinding, or the like in addition to diamond cutting.

  The state when the second hand 23, the minute hand 26, and the hour hand 29 having the above-described configuration are assembled into a timepiece is as shown in FIG. In FIG. 9, the specification of the decorative surface of the lower surface 24b of the minute hand 26 indicated by hatching on the mirror-finished surface 29a of the hour hand 29 where the minute hand 26 and hour hand 29 overlap is displayed as an image 29e. However, the image 29e projected from the gap between the minute hand 26 and the hour hand 29 is hardly understood because the surface 29a of the hour hand 29 and the lower surface 24b of the minute hand 26 have the same specification surface, and thus have the same appearance specifications.
