In particular those telephony devices allowing the possibility to carry out an easy transportation and maintenance of the transceiver device in proximity of the user for an immediate availability of the same device, in such a way to allow to maintain the possibility of communication also during the movements from a place to another in this way freeing the user from the need to move, for performing a remote communication, to a determined place not close to the place in which the same user stays are known. This concerns mobile telephony devices conventionally known as mobile telephones or cellular telephones. The present fast evolution of the mobile telephony fittings has made possible already since a long time to implement the functionalities of the mobile telephones allowing to widen their use also for the exchange of data in digital form with remote servers. At present the most evolved mobile communication devices are those commonly re-i ncluded under the name of smartphone which themselves combine in a single apparatus the functionalities of the cellular phone and of the data management devices also with multimedial content, furthermore allowing that the functionalities of said com mu nication devices themselves may be widened through the prearrangement of specially developed applicative programs. The specific realization needs of said devices determine that thei r use by the user must occur by direct interaction. One among the problems fou nd i n the solutions of remote commun ication fittings of the portable type, the commonly known cellu lar phones, was that concerning the impossibility to detect the incoming calls in the case in which incidental needs would determi ne the suitability to keep the apparatus with silent ringtone, particularly i n the case in which the apparatus itself was not in a condition visible to the user. The su pposed solution to the detected disadvantage determined some companies of the sector to find solutions able to create through a remote device the possi bility to be interconnected i n commun ication with the mobile telephony apparatus (50), particularly in order to detect its calls, however remaining the present lack of known devices able to allow the receiving and the transmitting of the calls and to ensure an active interaction with interchange of data, also with multimedial content, between different devices.

[0006] In D l synthetically a solution of wireless device is described preferably integrated in a watch support chain, wh ich device itself is able to recognize the signals of the mobile phone when the latter receives a call, so that the user can receive an information signal of the same incoming call, providing that said signal may be of the vibration or bright type is described.
[0007] In D2 synthetically a solution of watch is described provided with a portable terminal and an operating method of the same in which the watch is made able to act as portable term inal i n the case in which an event is generated in a mobile phone, being provided that the watch is arranged in a way to com mu nicate in wireless way with the same mobile phone is described.
[0008] In D3 synthetically a watch is described with signal function of incoming call warning on cellular phone or wireless telephone, having the peculiarity to comprise receiving means intended to receive one carrier sent by the telephone exchange to said cellular phone due to an incoming call for said cellular phone, detecting and rectifying means able to detect and rectify the carrier received from the receiving means, amplification means, connected in cascade to the detecting and rectifying means and able to amplify the rectified carrier and to send it to operating means which are able to drive a motor. The motor in turn sets in rotation a weig ht connected to it so to create a vibration intended to make up a signalling of a waiting incoming call.
Drawbacks
[0009] All the known solutions of wrist watches able to be interconnected wirelessly to a mobile telephony apparatus (50) as in the known prior art have defects and/or limitations even at a different extent.
