    摘要: To prevent an erroneous operation and improve operability, a button device and a timepiece including the button device are provided. The button device includes: a cylindrical first guide protector 11 protruding from the lateral face of a wristwatch case 1; and a first button 12 disposed in the first guide protector 11 to be slidable inward and outward of the wristwatch case 1. The first button 12 includes a first button head 13 disposed in the first guide protector 11, and a first button shaft 15 passing through a first through hole 14 of the wristwatch case 1. The first button head 13 is inclined obliquely upward relative to the lateral face of the wristwatch case 1. The first guide protector 11 protects the outer periphery of the first button head 13, and this prevents accidental and erroneous operation of the first button 12. The first button head 13 is inclined obliquely upward relative to the lateral face of the wristwatch case 1, and this allows the user to easily place a fingertip on the outer end face of the first button head 13, and so improves the operability of the first button 12.

    摘要: A control device (1) for a timepiece has: - a body (4) intended to be mounted to be able to rotate about an axis of rotation (X) in a case middle (2) of a timepiece in order to drive a mechanism of the timepiece,
    and: - a crown head (5) movable in translation with respect to the body, parallel to the axis of rotation, between a first position and a second position. The body has a first coupling means (46) and the crown head has a second coupling means (53), arranged so that when the crown head is in its first position, the body and the crown head are uncoupled, and when the crown head is in its second position, the body and the crown head are
    coupled, the control device further comprising a locking element (6), a first formation (47A) and a second formation (47B), the locking element being able to cooperate with the first formation to stabilize the crown head in its first position, and with the second formation to stabilize the crown head in its second
    position, the locking element being integral with or fixed to the crown head and the first and second formations being integral with or fixed to the body, or the locking element being integral with or fixed to the body and the first and second formations being integral with or fixed to the crown head.

    摘要: An electronic watch may include a housing defining a side wall having a through-hole and a crown assembly including an actuation member. The actuation member may include a crown shaft extending through the through-hole and having an exterior portion defining an input surface and a crown ring coupled to the exterior portion of the crown shaft and electrically isolated from the crown shaft. The crown assembly may further include an optical encoder component attached to the actuation member and defining a group of optical features. The electronic watch may further include an optical detector configured to detect rotation of the crown assembly by detecting motion of the group of optical features and an electrocardiograph sensor comprising a sensing component. The sensing component may be conductively coupled to the actuation member via a conductive path at least partially defined by the crown shaft.

    摘要: A stem-crown of a water-resistant watch case includes a stem inserted into a tubular opening of a middle part of the watch case, and a crown including a first portion connected to the stem and a second handling portion. The first portion of the crown includes an annular contact surface, which is inclined at a determined angle less than 90° relative to a longitudinal central axis of the stem-crown, extending from the link between the stem and the first portion of the crown towards the outside of the second portion of the crown. In a rest position, the first portion of the crown comes into contact or bears against an annular receiving surface of the middle part, the shape thereof complements that of an end of the tubular opening to the outside.
