Abstract:
The invention concerns a timepiece (1), notably a diver's watch, comprising a case (2) provided with a case middle (3), a light source (6), an element (4) movable between several positions relative to the case (2), and movable means for assembling the movable element (4) on the middle part (3) of the case (2). More particularly, the movable element (4) includes a light guide (10) and an upper cover (9) comprising an index (5), the guide (10) being configured to receive a light beam (8) from the light source through an entry face (12), and to guide light rays (18) through an exit face (15) of the light guide (10) in order to illuminate the index (5), whatever the position of the movable element (4) relative to the case (2).
Abstract:
A moving indicator for an analogue display device, in particular for a timepiece. The indicator includes a multi-layer part including an opaque metal layer and a transparent light guide layer and forming a body and a head of the indicator. The head is centred relative to a rotational axis of the indicator and arranged to receive a luminous flux on the bottom face thereof. A fluorescent material is arranged on the transparent light guide layer at the head of the indicator to absorb at least part of said luminous flux and to re-emit a second luminous fluorescence flux in the transparent light guide layer. Other aspects comprise a set of indicators, a display device and a watch comprising one or more moving indicators.
Abstract:
A display device for a portable object wherein the portable object includes a dial and at least one movable hand, at least one movable hand includes a light source or is coupled to a light source, the dial includes at least one secondary light waveguide, the light source and the secondary waveguide being arranged such that the light source is coupled to the proximal end of the secondary waveguide when the movable hand moves into a predetermined sector of the dial, and the distal end of the secondary waveguide being coupled to a display element of the dial.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a holographic display device incorporated in a timepiece device comprising at least one movable hand, having a light source at its peripheral end, and a watch glass comprising at least one hologram at its periphery, said light source being arranged on the hand so that it reconstructs said hologram when it moves into a predetermined angular sector.
Abstract:
A display hand for a portable object including an indication by the display hand, inside which is housed a rechargeable electrical energy source. The display hand includes at least one solar cell, the electrical energy source being connected to the display hand to be recharged.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electronic strap for a timepiece, comprising: a printed circuit board an insert disposed on the printed circuit board, comprising a guide element provided to be placed between and fixed to a pair of horns of a watch case (BM), the guide element comprising a lightwave guide comprising: an input disposed on an interface between the guide element and the printed circuit board a first output disposed so as to be opposite a first zone of the watch case (BM) between the two horns when the guide element is placed between and fixed to the pair of horns a first portion connecting the input to the first output a lightwave emitter installed on the printed circuit board, at the level of the input of the wave guide.
Abstract:
A set of luminous display hands is for a portable object including a frame housing an electrical energy supply source that includes a first and a second terminal. The set includes at least first and second luminous display hands made of an electrically non-conductive material. A drive arbor of the second display hand is arranged concentrically inside a drive arbor of the first display hand. Each of the first and second display hands carries a first, respectively a second light source which emits light. The first and second light sources each include a first and a second pole. Depending on whether the light sources are mounted in parallel or in series, the first pole or the second pole of the second light source is connected to the first pole of the first light source by contact between the first and second hands.
