Description

  The present invention relates to a kind of modular ceramic watch case. In particular, the present invention relates to a modular ceramic watch case which is a watch case sandwiched between at least two watch belt housings of one kind and fixedly connected to opposite sides of the movement housing.

Since most watch cases currently applied to watches are integrally molded from metal materials, the appearance and color of watch cases are completely derived from metal. For this reason, known wristwatches have little change in appearance and color.
On the other hand, in recent years, there has been a movement in the industry to produce watch cases for watches using ceramic materials and to enrich the appearance of watch cases by using various colors of ceramics to appeal to consumers.
However, in a watch case molded from a ceramic material, the curved position, depression position, or grooved portion of the watch case can be easily ruptured due to the tensile stress generated by material shrinkage when molded at high temperatures. Good products are easy to make. In the actual manufacturing process, the manufacturing yield is less than 50%, and the manufacturing cost is extremely high. However, since the appearance of ceramic watch cases is varied and the colors are varied, it is highly popular among consumers, and it is an urgent issue to improve the yield of products while retaining the advantages of ceramic watch cases.
