The middle part 22 is intended to receive the watch movement 25 by means of at least one shoulder 28 formed in its inner wall. As illustrated in figure 2 it can also be seen that the middle part 22 has holes 29, 33, 31 intended to receive respectively the rods of the pushers 30, 34 and the crown 32.

Préférentiellement, la carrure 22 est réalisée en matière plastique, cependant, toute autre type de matière est envisageable comme, par exemple, un métal ou une céramique.Preferably, the middle part 22 is made of plastic, however, any other type of material is conceivable, such as, for example, a metal or a ceramic.

Selon l'invention, la lunette 24 et le fond 26 sont en métal et comportent chacun une glace 35, 36. De manière préférée, la lunette 24 et le fond 26 sont montés chassés sur la carrure 22 au moyens de bagues 37, 39, préférentiellement, en métal. Chaque bague 37, 39 coopère respectivement par rapport à la lunette 24 et au fond 26 à l'aide d'un joint 38, 40 améliorant leur étanchéité mais également leur fixation. Bien entendu, si la carrure 22 n'est pas en plastique mais, par exemple, en métal ces bagues 37 et 39 ne sont plus nécessaires.According to the invention, the telescope 24 and the bottom 26 are made of metal and each comprise an ice 35, 36. Preferably, the bezel 24 and the bottom 26 are mounted driven on the middle part 22 by means of rings 37, 39, preferentially, metal. Each ring 37, 39 cooperates respectively with respect to the bezel 24 and the bottom 26 with a gasket 38, 40 improving their sealing but also their attachment. Of course, if the middle part 22 is not plastic but, for example, metal these rings 37 and 39 are no longer necessary.

Le mouvement 25 est préférentiellement du type mécanique et comporte les fonctions de quantième et de chronographe à trois temps, cette dernière fonction étant commandée à l'aide des poussoirs 30, 34. Comme illustré aux figures 2 et 3, le dessus du mouvement 25 comporte des aiguilles 41 et un cadran multiniveaux 43 muni d'un guichet 42 de quantième. Dans l'exemple illustré aux figures 2 et 3, le mouvement horloger 25 comporte six aiguilles 41 pouvant représenter, par exemple, les secondes, les minutes et les heures de la mesure du temps par le chronographe et de l'heure.The movement 25 is preferably of the mechanical type and comprises the functions of calendar and three-stroke chronograph, the latter function being controlled by means of the pushers 30, 34. As illustrated in FIGS. Figures 2 and 3 the top of the movement 25 comprises needles 41 and a multilevel dial 43 provided with a date window 42. In the example shown in Figures 2 and 3 , the watch movement 25 comprises six needles 41 which can represent, for example, the seconds, minutes and hours of the time measurement by the chronograph and the time.

Comme visible aux figures 1, 2, 3 et 5, le mouvement 25 est monté sur l'épaulement 28 de la carrure 22 par l'intermédiaire d'un cercle d'emboîtage 45. De fait, le cercle d'emboîtage 45 est destiné à adapter le mouvement 25 contre la paroi interne de la carrure 22. Le cercle d'emboîtage 45 comporte un corps globalement annulaire dont la paroi externe comprend au moins un épaulement 44 et un ergot de positionnement 46 et dont la paroi interne comprend au moins un épaulement 48 et au moins un crochet de fixation 47.As visible to figures 1 , 2 , 3 and 5 , the movement 25 is mounted on the shoulder 28 of the middle part 22 by means of a casing ring 45.

The casing ring 45 comprises a generally annular body whose outer wall comprises at least one shoulder 44 and a positioning pin 46 and whose inner wall comprises at least one shoulder 48 and at least one attachment hook 47.

Comme illustré aux figures 2, 3 et 5, le cercle d'emboîtage 45 est attaché contre le mouvement 25 par interaction de chaque crochet 47 contre la partie inférieure du filet 49 du mouvement 25 et de chaque épaulement 48 contre la partie supérieure du même filet 49.As illustrated in Figures 2, 3 and 5 , the casing ring 45 is attached against the movement 25 by interaction of each hook 47 against the lower part of the thread 49 of the movement 25 and each shoulder 48 against the upper part of the same thread 49.

Comme visible à la figure 1, chaque épaulement 44 est destiné à entrer en contact avec l'épaulement 28 de la carrure 22. Ce contact permet de régler la hauteur du cercle d'emboîtage 45 et donc du mouvement 25 par rapport à la carrure 22. De plus, le cercle d'emboîtage 45 est préférentiellement échancré afin de libérer l'espace autour respectivement des commandes mécaniques 53, 55 du chronographe et du trou 54 de commande du dispositif de mise à l'heure et, éventuellement, du dispositif de quantième.As visible at figure 1 each shoulder 44 is intended to come into contact with the shoulder 28 of the middle part 22. This contact makes it possible to adjust the height of the casing ring 45 and thus of the movement 25 with respect to the middle part 22. Moreover, the circle casing 45 is preferably notched in order to release the space around respectively the mechanical controls 53, 55 of the chronograph and the hole 54 for controlling the time setting device and, possibly, the date device.

Comme visible aux figures 2 et 5, les poussoirs 30 et 34 sont destinés à déplacer respectivement les commandes mécaniques 53 et 55. Chaque poussoir 30, 34 comporte une tête 56 reliée à une tige 57. Préférentiellement, chaque poussoir 30, 34 est monté élastiquement sur la carrure 22 à l'aide d'un ressort 74 monté concentriquement entre chaque trou 29, 33 de la carrure 22 et l'arrière de chaque tête 56. De manière préférée, la tige comporte un premier évidement annulaire destiné à recevoir un joint d'étanchéité 58 et un deuxième évidement annulaire 59 destiné à coopérer avec une pièce 61 comme expliqué ci-dessous. Comme illustré aux figures 2 et 5, le deuxième évidement 56 forme une extrémité 75 de la tige 57 qui est évasée.As visible to figures 2 and 5 , the pushers 30 and 34 are intended to move respectively the mechanical controls 53 and 55. Each pusher 30, 34 comprises a head 56 connected to a rod 57. Preferably, each pusher 30, 34 is resiliently mounted on the middle part 22 to the using a spring 74 mounted concentrically between each hole 29, 33 of the middle part 22 and the rear of each head 56. Preferably, the rod comprises a first annular recess for receiving a seal 58 and a second annular recess 59 for cooperating with a part 61 as explained below. As illustrated in figures 2 and 5 the second recess 56 forms an end 75 of the rod 57 which is flared.

Enfin, en prolongement de la base dudit au moins un épaulement 44, est présent l'ergot de positionnement 46. Comme illustré aux figures 1 à 3, l'ergot 46 est destiné à coopérer avec un évidement 50 de forme correspondante réalisée dans la paroi interne de la carrure 22. Cette configuration permet d'orienter fiablement l'angle α selon l'axe vertical A1 du cercle d'emboîtage 45 et donc du mouvement 25 par rapport à la carrure 22.Finally, in extension of the base of said at least one shoulder 44, is present the positioning pin 46. As shown in FIGS. Figures 1 to 3 , the lug 46 is intended to cooperate with a recess 50 of corresponding shape formed in the inner wall of the middle part 22. This configuration makes it possible to reliably orient the angle α along the vertical axis A1 of the casing ring 45 and therefore movement 25 relative to the middle part 22.

Avantageusement selon l'invention, la pièce d'horlogerie 21 comporte également un dispositif de blocage 27 permettant de plaquer l'ensemble mouvement horloger 25 - cercle d'emboîtage 45 contre la carrure 22 lors de la fermeture du fond 26 de la boîte 23. Le dispositif de blocage 27 comporte une pièce annulaire 61 comme illustrée aux figures 1 à 5. La pièce annulaire 61 comporte des faces 63, 65, 67, 69 faisant respectivement vis-à-vis avec l'ensemble cercle d'emboîtage 45 - filet 49, l'ensemble paroi interne de la carrure 22 - bague 39, le mouvement horloger 25 et le fond 26.Advantageously according to the invention, the timepiece 21 also comprises a blocking device 27 making it possible to press the watch movement assembly 25 - casing ring 45 against the middle part 22 during the closure of the bottom 26 of the box 23. The device blocking 27 comprises an annular piece 61 as illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1 to 5 . The annular piece 61 has faces 63, 65, 67, 69 respectively facing the casing assembly 45 - thread 49, the inner wall assembly of the middle part 22 - ring 39, the watch movement. 25 and the bottom 26.

Comme illustré à la figure 4, la face 63 comporte des évidements 62, 64 destinés à correspondre avec les reliefs du cercle d'emboîtage 45. Ainsi, préférentiellement, les évidements 62 sont réalisés afin d'éviter le contact entre la pièce annulaire 61 et les crochets 47 du cercle d'emboîtage 45. De plus, de manière préférée, les évidements 64 sont réalisés afin d'éviter le contact de la pièce annulaire 61 avec le filet 49 du mouvement 25 ou chaque partie en saillie du bas du cercle d'emboîtage 45 (notamment présente à la base de l'ergot 46). On comprend donc que la pièce annulaire 61 est montée contre le cercle d'emboîtage 45 au niveau de la partie supérieure de la face 63 et la face 71 s'appuie sur le dessous du filet 49 du mouvement 25.As illustrated in figure 4 , the face 63 has recesses 62, 64 intended to correspond with the reliefs of the casing ring 45. Thus, preferably, the recesses 62 are made in order to avoid contact between the annular piece 61 and the hooks 47 of the casing ring. In addition, preferably, the recesses 64 are made in order to avoid contact of the annular piece 61 with the thread 49 of the movement 25 or each projecting part of the bottom of the casing ring 45 (in particular at the base of the lug 46). It is therefore understood that the annular piece 61 is mounted against the casing ring 45 at the upper part of the face 63 and the face 71 rests on the underside of the thread 49 of the movement 25.

La face 63 comporte également des évidements 68 et 66 destinés à libérer l'espace autour respectivement des commandes mécaniques 53, 55 du chronographe et du trou 54 de commande du dispositif de mise à l'heure et, éventuellement, du dispositif de quantième. On comprend donc que les évidements 68, 66 permettent de recevoir les tiges respectivement des poussoirs 30, 34 et de la couronne 32.The face 63 also has recesses 68 and 66 for releasing the space around respectively the mechanical controls 53, 55 of the chronograph and the hole 54 for controlling the time setting device and, possibly, the date device. It is therefore understood that the recesses 68, 66 make it possible to receive the rods respectively of the pushers 30, 34 and the crown 32.

De plus, avantageusement selon l'invention, chaque évidement 68 est également destiné à former une bride par insertion de chaque tige 57 de poussoir 30, 34 au niveau de son deuxième évidement annulaire 59. A cet effet, la pièce annulaire 61 comporte également deux rainures 70 pratiquées au niveau de sa face interne 67 afin d'offrir un dégagement pour l'extrémité 75 évasée de chaque tige 57.In addition, advantageously according to the invention, each recess 68 is also intended to form a flange by insertion of each push rod 57, 30, 34 at its second annular recess 59. For this purpose, the annular piece 61 also comprises two grooves 70 made at its inner face 67 to provide clearance for the flared end 75 of each rod 57.

La face interne 67 de la pièce annulaire 61 comporte également des épaulements 71 formés pour dégager des zones de déformations 73. Ces dernières, formées d'un surplus de matière en saillie, sont destinées à coopérer avec le cercle d'emboîtage 45 afin de compenser par écrasement les dispersions de fabrication de la pièce d'horlogerie 21.The inner face 67 of the annular piece 61 also has shoulders 71 formed to clear deformation zones 73. latter, formed of a surplus of protruding material, are intended to cooperate with the casing ring 45 to compensate by crushing the manufacturing dispersions of the timepiece 21.

De manière similaire, la face du dessous 69 de la pièce annulaire 61 comporte également des zones de déformations 72. Ces dernières, formées d'un surplus de matière en saillie, sont destinées à coopérer avec l'arrière du fond 26 de la boîte 23 afin également de compenser par écrasement les dispersions de fabrication de la pièce d'horlogerie 21.Similarly, the underside 69 of the annular piece 61 also includes deformation zones 72. The latter, formed of a surplus of protruding material, are intended to cooperate with the rear of the bottom 26 of the box 23 to also compensate by crushing the manufacturing dispersions of the timepiece 21.

A la lecture de l'explication ci-dessus, on comprend donc que la pièce annulaire 61 est montée entre le cercle d'emboîtage 45 et le fond 26 de la boîte 23 et est notamment utile pour sa fonction de bride de l'extrémité évasée 75 de chaque tige 57 de poussoir 30, 34.On reading the explanation above, it is thus clear that the annular piece 61 is mounted between the casing ring 45 and the bottom 26 of the box 23 and is particularly useful for its flange end flange function. 75 of each rod 57 of pusher 30, 34.

En relation avec les figures 2 et 6, le procédé de fabrication 1 de la pièce d'horlogerie 21 va maintenant être expliqué. Dans un première étape 3, les phases 2, 4, 6 et 8 de préassemblage de la pièce d'horlogerie 21 sont réalisées.In relation to figures 2 and 6 , the manufacturing method 1 of the timepiece 21 will now be explained. In a first step 3, the phases 2, 4, 6 and 8 of pre-assembly of the timepiece 21 are made.

Ainsi dans une phase 2, la lunette 24 va être fabriquée en montant notamment la glace 35 avec l'aide, par exemple, d'un joint. Dans une phase 4, le mouvement 25 va être fabriquée en montant notamment le cercle d'emboîtage 45, le cadran 43 et les aiguilles 41. Dans une phase 6, le fond 26 va être fabriqué en montant notamment le joint 40 et la glace 36 avec l'aide, par exemple, d'un autre joint. Dans une phase 8, la carrure 22 va être fabriquée en montant notamment les bagues 37, 39 avec l'aide, par exemple, d'un joint et les trous 29, 31, 33.Thus in a phase 2, the bezel 24 will be manufactured by mounting the ice 35 with the help of, for example, a seal. In a phase 4, the movement 25 will be manufactured by mounting in particular the casing ring 45, the dial 43 and the needles 41. In a phase 6, the bottom 26 will be manufactured including mounting the seal 40 and the ice 36 with the help, for example, of another seal. In a phase 8, the middle part 22 will be manufactured by mounting in particular the rings 37, 39 with the help of, for example, a seal and the holes 29, 31, 33.

Dans une deuxième étape 5 du procédé 1, le mouvement 25 préparé lors de la phase 4 est glissé dans la carrure 22 préparée lors de la phase 8 jusqu'à ce que les épaulements respectifs 44 et 28 entrent en contact. Avantageusement selon l'invention, le guidage de l'étape 5 est amélioré par l'interaction de l'ergot de positionnement 46 présent sur le cercle d'emboîtage 45 dans l'évidement 50 de la paroi interne de la carrure 22. Comme expliqué précédemment, à la fin de l'étape 5, le cercle d'emboîtage 45 et donc le mouvement 25 est positionné dans la carrure 22 selon un angle α par rapport à l'axe A1 et une profondeur prédéterminés.In a second step 5 of the method 1, the movement 25 prepared in phase 4 is slid into the middle part 22 prepared during phase 8 until the respective shoulders 44 and 28 come into contact. Advantageously according to the invention, the guidance of step 5 is improved by the interaction of the positioning pin 46 present on the casing ring 45 in the recess 50 of the inner wall of the middle part 22. As explained above, at the end of step 5, the casing ring 45 and therefore the movement 25 is positioned in the middle part 22 at an angle α with respect to the axis A1 and a predetermined depth.

Dans une troisième étape 7, la couronne 32 est montée sur le mouvement 25 en passant successivement par le trou 31 de la carrure 22, l'échancrure du cercle d'emboîtage 45 et le trou 54 du mouvement 25 pour y être attachée.In a third step 7, the ring 32 is mounted on the movement 25 by passing successively through the hole 31 of the middle part 22, the notch of the casing ring 45 and the hole 54 of the movement 25 to be attached thereto.

Dans une quatrième étape 9, la lunette 24 préparée lors de la phase 2 est montée sur la carrure 22 afin d'en fermer la partie supérieure. L'étape 9 comporte ainsi un première phase 10 destinée à rapporter le réhaut 51 contre carrure 22 en recouvrement partiel du cadran 53. Avantageusement selon l'invention, le guidage de la phase 10 est amélioré par l'interaction de l'ergot de positionnement 46 présent sur le cercle d'emboîtage 45 dans la rainure 52 réalisée sur la base du réhaut 51. A la fin de la phase 10, le réhaut 51 est positionné dans la carrure 22 selon un angle α par rapport à l'axe A1 et une profondeur prédéterminés.In a fourth step 9, the bezel 24 prepared during phase 2 is mounted on the middle part 22 in order to close the upper part. Step 9 thus comprises a first phase 10 intended to bring the flange 51 against middle part 22 in partial overlap of the dial 53. Advantageously according to the invention, the guidance of the phase 10 is improved by the interaction of the positioning pin 46 present on the casing ring 45 in the groove 52 made on the base of the flange 51. At the end of the phase 10, the flange 51 is positioned in the middle part 22 at an angle α with respect to the axis A1 and a predetermined depth.

La quatrième étape 9 se poursuit par la deuxième phase 12 destinée à rapporter le joint 38 contre la bague 37 de la carrure 22 puis par une troisième phase 14 destinée à chasser la lunette 24 contre la bague 37 à l'aide du joint 38.The fourth step 9 continues with the second phase 12 intended to bring the seal 38 against the ring 37 of the middle part 22 and then by a third phase 14 intended to drive the telescope 24 against the ring 37 by means of the seal 38.

Dans une cinquième étape 11, les poussoirs 30, 34 sont montés contre le mouvement 25 en passant successivement par les trous 29, 33 de la carrure 22, l'échancrure du cercle d'emboîtage 45 afin de faire vis-à-vis avec les commandes 53 et 55 du mouvement 25.In a fifth step 11, the pushers 30, 34 are mounted against the movement 25 by passing successively through the holes 29, 33 of the middle part 22, the notch of the casing ring 45 so as to face with the controls 53 and 55 of the movement 25.

La sixième étape 13 du procédé 1 est destinée à monter la pièce annulaire 61 contre le cercle d'emboîtage 45. La sixième étape 13 est réalisée en contrant la force de détente des ressorts 74 afin de maintenir les poussoirs 30, 34 contre les commandes 53, 55 puis en glissant la pièce 61 contre la paroi interne de la carrure 22 jusqu'à faire correspondre les évidements 62, 64, 66, 68, 70 avec les reliefs du cercle d'emboîtage 45 et les tiges des poussoirs 30, 34 et de la couronne 32.The sixth step 13 of the method 1 is intended to mount the annular piece 61 against the casing ring 45. The sixth step 13 is performed by counteracting the expansion force of the springs 74 to maintain the pushers 30, 34 against the controls 53 , 55 then sliding the piece 61 against the inner wall of the middle part 22 to match the recesses 62, 64, 66, 68, 70 with the reliefs of the casing ring 45 and the rods of the pushers 30, 34 and the crown 32.

A la fin de la sixième étape 13, on comprend que les poussoirs 30, 34 sont montés élastiquement contre la carrure 22. En effet, leur tige 57 est retenue par contact de la bride formée par l'évidement 68 de la pièce 61 avec son extrémité évasée 75. De plus, la pièce 61 est positionnée dans la carrure 22 selon respectivement un angle α par rapport à l'axe A1 et une profondeur minimum prédéterminés.At the end of the sixth step 13, it is understood that the pushers 30, 34 are mounted elastically against the middle part 22. In fact, their rod 57 is retained by contact with the flange formed by the recess 68 of the part 61 with its flare end 75. In addition, the piece 61 is positioned in the middle part 22 respectively at an angle α with respect to the axis A1 and a predetermined minimum depth.

La septième et dernière étape 15 est destinée à fermer la partie inférieure de la boîte 23 afin de plaquer l'ensemble mouvement horloger 25 - cercle d'emboîtage 45 contre la carrure 22. Cela est réalisé en chassant le fond 24 préparé lors de la phase 6 contre la bague 39. Avantageusement selon l'invention, cette étape 15 permet également de compenser les dispersions de fabrication de différents constituants. En effet, comme expliqué ci-dessus, les moyens de déformation 72, 73 vont permettre lors du chassage du fond 24 contre la bague 39 de sélectivement s'écraser par rapproche dudit fond 24 pour adapter le montage final aux cotes réelles de la pièce d'horlogerie qui varient en raison des dispersions de fabrication. A la fin de l'étape 15, la fabrication de la pièce d'horlogerie est donc terminée.The seventh and last step 15 is intended to close the lower part of the box 23 in order to press the watch movement assembly 25 - casing ring 45 against the middle part 22. This is achieved by driving the bottom 24 prepared during the phase 6 against the ring 39. Advantageously according to the invention, this step 15 also makes it possible to compensate for the manufacturing dispersions of different constituents. Indeed, as explained above, the deformation means 72, 73 will allow when driving the bottom 24 against the ring 39 to selectively crash by approaching said bottom 24 to adapt the final assembly to the actual dimensions of the room d watches that vary due to manufacturing dispersions. At the end of step 15, the manufacture of the timepiece is thus complete.

Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple illustré mais est susceptible de diverses variantes et modifications qui apparaîtront à l'homme de l'art. En particulier, le mouvement ne limite pas à un mouvement automatique chronographe, d'autres types de mouvement comportant un filet 49 sont possibles.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example but is susceptible of various variations and modifications that will occur to those skilled in the art. In particular, the movement does not limit to an automatic chronograph movement, other types of movement including a net 49 are possible.

Il est également envisageable que la boîte 23 soit partiellement fermée, c'est-à-dire qu'elle comporte un fond ou une lunette monobloc avec la carrure. Ainsi, dans le premier cas, la carrure pourrait être remplacée par une boite maintenue fermée par la lunette uniquement. Enfin, dans le deuxième cas, la carrure pourrait être remplacée par une boite maintenue fermée par le fond uniquement.It is also conceivable that the box 23 is partially closed, that is to say it has a bottom or a single-piece bezel with the middle part. Thus, in the first case, the case could be replaced by a box kept closed by the telescope only. Finally, in the second case, the case could be replaced by a box kept closed by the bottom only.
