Definitions

  • the present invention relates to watches intended to be worn on the wrist or in the pocket.
  • These watches generally include a box defining a housing, a movement arranged in the housing and fixed in the box, a dial and hands arranged at the front of the dial and carried by movement of the mobiles.
  • Some of them for example the one described in the document EP 0965071 , comprise a second housing in which are arranged decorative stones likely to move. These stones, mounted on kittens, give the watch a particular aesthetic, due to the movement of the stones at the front of the hands and the dial.
  • the object of the present invention is to give the watch an even more surprising character, while allowing an improvement in its sealing.
  • a tablet is called a structure similar to a watch case, but does not include fixing means.
  • the watch according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises, in addition, a hollow pellet, in which said movement is mounted, the means display and correction means disposed in said housing and dimensioned so that it can move freely.
  • the pellet is provided with a bottom and the correction means comprise a pusher disposed in the bottom of the pellet.
  • pellets are surrounded by a ring of elastic material, preferably elastomer.
  • the housing contains a liquid whose specific mass is substantially equal to that of the pellets, while the center of gravity of the pellets is between its geometric center and six hours of the display means, so that when the watch is inclined, the pellets are oriented with the south facing upwards.
  • the watch shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a box 10 provided with an ice 12, a middle part 14 and a bottom 16, together defining a housing 18 whose walls form a cylinder.
  • Pellets 20 are arranged in the housing 18. They have a thickness slightly smaller than the distance separating the bottom 16 from the ice 12, and a diameter close to one-third of the diameter of the cylinder, so that they can be to move freely.
  • Each pellet 20 is formed of a shell 22 in which is arranged a movement 24, which is surmounted by a dial 26 and carries needles 28.
  • the shell 22 comprises, like a watch case, a middle part 30, a bottom 32 and an ice 34.
  • the caseband 30 carries, at its periphery and substantially in the middle of its height, a rubber ring 35 protruding and acting as a shock absorber.
  • the movement can be of the type marketed by ETA (Switzerland) under the reference 201.001. It is very small. Its setting is performed by means of a pusher 36 disposed at the center of the bottom 32 of the pellet 20. This pusher is advantageously provided with a seal, so that the shell 22 can be sealed.
  • Each of the tablets 20 is associated with the display of a different time, one indicating the time of the place of residence, the others of other time zones, the names of these being indicated on the corresponding dials 26. .
  • the bottom 16 may, for example, be transparent, provided with a mirror or may carry a decoration.
  • a grid not shown in the drawing could be interposed between the bottom 16 and the pellets 20 and fixed to the middle part 14, so that there is no risk of losing one or the other. pellets 20 when the bottom 16 is removed.
  • This grid makes it possible to access the push-buttons 36 but prevents the pellets 20 from leaving the housing 18.
  • the bottom 16 of the box 10 includes a pusher 38 which, when pushed by the user, actuates the plate 36a of the pellet lying in alignment. In order to correct the hours displayed by the various tablets, it suffices to scroll them one after the other in the zone of the box 10 comprising the pusher 38.
  • the middle 14 has a cell 40 in which a tablet is positioned when inclining the watch along the axis midday-six o'clock, the part of the box in the neighborhood of which is usually displayed midday lying at the top.
  • the seal of the watch can be provided both at the box 10 and pellets 20. This therefore provides a high degree of operational safety.
  • the watch could display a fixed local time, while the hours of other time zones, each associated with a pellet 20, would be mobile in the housing 18.
  • pellets with devices capable of displaying anything other than the hour, for example temperature, or simply to have a decorative or commemorative function.
  • the very mark of the watch could also be associated with the bottom of the box or be the subject of a pellet in itself.
  • the pellets are cylindrical in shape. It is obvious that it is also possible to have other shapes, for example polygonal section or oval.
