Some or all of the movement in it can be seen by making the thing or the back cover a transparent cover glass, or by making a large hole around the bearing of the receiving plate. There is a combination of the above two, etc., and each emphasizes aesthetics.

In the structure of a conventional skeleton watch, a large peep hole is formed in the main plate for peeping parts such as a train wheel, but until now it is hidden behind the dial and cannot be seen, so pins and grinds have not been a problem. Since it is possible to see through the steps and cutouts as they are, the appearance is impaired. In order to solve the problem, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-125289, the main plate is provided with peep holes formed by a plurality of arcs for peeping parts such as a train wheel and the like. Laminate a thin plate with a hole having a shape that substantially matches the shape of the peep hole on the above-mentioned base plate, and hide the screw holes and post holes, grinding steps and cutouts remaining in the base plate with the thin plate. There are some things that look good. Further, there are those in which a decorative pattern is added to the surface of the see-through plate or the ground plate, and those in which these patterns are printed.

The timepiece movement 2 has a skeleton structure that can be seen through by using a transparent cover glass on a back cover (not shown). Reference numerals 3 and 4 are the first support and the main plate of the functional parts constituting the timepiece movement 2. The first bridge 3 is fixed to the main plate 4 with a receiving screw. Reference numeral 5 is a holographic stone for receiving the shaft of the barrel wheel fixed to the first bridge 3. 6 is the center of the combination figure expressing the ammonite. The holographic stone 5 is located at a position corresponding to the center 6.

Reference numeral 7 is a spiral groove that is a part of the combined figure that is processed most to the bridge, and 8 and 9 are arcuate holes and dredges that are also a part of the combined figure. It is most processed along the spiral groove 7 so that the shape gradually becomes smaller from the outside toward the center 6 of the combined figure. Reference numeral 10 is a graphic seal having the same shape as the spiral groove 7, and is formed in a decorated spiral pattern by a method described later. The figure seal 10 is attached so as to match the spiral groove 7 by a method described later. As described above, the holographic stone 5, the spiral groove 7, the arcuate hole 8, the dredging 9 and the graphic seal 10 which are a part of the first bridge 3 which is a functional component are combined with each other to form an ammonite. It is configured to form a combination figure.

Since the beautiful ruby-colored phosporite 5 having the above-mentioned structure is combined so as to be located at the center 6 of the combination figure, which is an ammonia, it works effectively as an accent of the decorative figure, for example, a gold color. The decorated graphic seal 10 is further combined with the spiral groove 7, the arcuate hole 8 and the dredging 9 which are the processing parts forming the combination graphic to further enhance the aesthetic effect of each other. Further, other parts such as a train wheel (not shown) can be seen through the arcuate hole 8 having a shell pattern. The spiral groove 7 absorbs an increase in the thickness direction of the movement 2 caused by sticking the graphic seal 10 having a spiral pattern, and also serves as a positioning guide for the graphic seal 10.

Next, referring to FIGS. 2 to 3, a method of manufacturing and attaching the graphic sticker will be described. The method for manufacturing the graphic sticker is a known technique, for example, the method for manufacturing a timepiece display component disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-260881 may be used.

That is, in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 (a), when the spiral pattern 20 and the positioning guide pattern 21 are integrated and partially electroformed by the photoresist method, a base material 22 such as phosphor bronze is polished. Then, in order to separate from the base material 22 after electroforming, a chromate treatment is performed in advance. After applying a photoresist 23 on the upper surface, the mask 24 is aligned and exposed and developed to form a resist film around the spiral pattern 20 and the positioning guide pattern 21, and then the bright nickel plating or gold plating is used to form a resist film, as shown in FIG. ) Electroformed 25 is molded.

Next, in FIG. 3B, a peelable and adhesive film 26 is pressure-bonded to the surface of the formed spiral pattern 20 or the like, and the spiral pattern 20 or the like is formed from the base material 22 into a film. Transfer to No. 26 and peel. As shown in FIG. 3C, the separated surface becomes the back surface of the spiral pattern 20 and the like, and the pressure sensitive adhesive 27 is applied to the back surface by spraying or the like and pre-dried.

Further, a release paper 28 coated with thin silicon or the like is brought into close contact with the surface coated with the pressure-sensitive adhesive 27, and the spiral pattern 20 forming a part of the combination graphic is drawn. The seal 10 is completed.

To press and stick the graphic seal 10 having the spiral pattern drawn thereon to the spiral groove 7 on the first receptacle 3, first, the positioning guide pattern 21 of the graphic seal 10 is attached. Then, after peeling off the release paper 28 on the lower surface side of the graphic seal 10, the film 26 on the upper surface side is further peeled off from the outer edge portion to leave only the spiral pattern 20 on the film 26. Next, the first support 3 is positioned and placed on a positioning jig (not shown), and the positioning guide pattern is formed so that the spiral pattern 20 of the film 26 and the spiral groove 7 on the first support 3 are aligned with each other. Align using the guide hole processed in 21. After that, the spiral pattern 20 is pressed and adhered, and the film 26 is removed to complete the process. The spiral pattern 20 whose surface is thus decorated with gold plating or the like provides a decorative figure with a feeling of standing that cannot be easily obtained by directly processing the functional component.

The graphic seal 10 may be formed by a method other than the electroforming method described above, for example, by etching a thin metal plate, or a print seal made of plastic, paper, or the like may be used. Good.

The timepiece movement 12 has an automatic winding mechanism, and reference numerals 13 and 14 are the first bridge and the main plate which are the functional parts constituting the timepiece movement 12. The first bridge 3 is a fixed part fixed to the main plate 14 with a receiving screw. Reference numeral 30 is a rotary weight of a movable part which is a functional component that rotates and oscillates between the first bridge 13 and the back cover, 31 is a semi-circular weight hub, and 32 is bonded to the outer peripheral portion of the weight hub 31. A weight made of a metal or metal compound having a large specific gravity such as tungsten, which is fixed by welding, welding, or the like.

Reference numeral 33 is a graphic sticker attached to the first receptacle 13 and in which a graphic of a fish jumping from the sea surface is drawn. Further, the weight hub 31 represents the sea, and 34 is a waveform added to a part of the outer shape of the weight hub 31 which contacts the sea surface so as to be a part of a combination figure. The corrugations 34 are functionally unnecessary shapes, but decoratively effective shapes. Reference numeral 35 denotes a corrugated hole formed on the inner surface of the weight hub 31, which is an unnecessary processed portion functionally, but is an effective processed portion decoratively. Reference numeral 37 is a wave-shaped graphic sticker which is attached to the weight hub 31 in a combined manner along the corrugation 34. Reference numeral 36 is a graphic sticker attached to the weight hub 31 on which an illustration of a fish swimming in the sea is drawn. Needless to say, instead of the corrugated holes 35, corrugated patterning may be applied by printing, dredging, or the like, or a corrugated graphic sticker may be attached.

As described above, in the structure of the skeleton timepiece in which the related figures of the sea and the fish which are deeply related to each other are drawn, the movement of the rotary weight 30 which is the movable part causes the upper part of the first support 13 which is the fixed part to move. The fish depicted in Fig. 1 appears and disappears, and it feels as if the fish jumps from between the oscillating rotary weights 30. The corrugations 34, the corrugated holes 35, and the fish sticker on the rotary weights 30 that are the moving parts. It is interesting that the figure by 37 and the figure of the fish figure seal 33 given to the first part 13 which is a fixed part are related figures, and the corrugation 34 and the figure seal 36 are combined to form a combined figure. The wave pattern is emphasized.

The method of manufacturing the graphic seals 33, 36, and 37 has been described in the first embodiment, and will be omitted. Further, in the above-described second embodiment, the related figures are illustrations of the sea and the fish. However, it is not limited to this, and the figures of the movable part and the fixed part are related to each other, and both have meaning. Alternatively, you can select various related figures that have a deeply related combination.
