- the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea which consists in associating with a watch case containing a watch movement preferentially but non-limitatively mechanical a bracelet in the thickness of which are housed the electronic component or components necessary for the execution of at least one electronic function. Thanks to these characteristics, it is possible to keep unchanged the aesthetic appearance, the mechanical properties and the horometric qualities of the watch case while adding one or more additional electronic functions that will make it possible to transform such a watch into a connected watch.
- the present invention is particularly interesting in the case where one is dealing with a mechanical movement because it preserves the emotional aspect of such a mechanical movement while increasing the range of services that such a watch is able to render to his user.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the bracelet according to the invention.
- this bracelet comprises a printed circuit sheet 2 formed of a first printed circuit portion 4 connected to a second printed circuit portion 6 via a middle portion 8 which comprises means for ensuring the electrical continuity between the first printed circuit portion 4 and the second printed circuit portion 6.
- the middle portion 8 could be separated from the first and second printed circuit portions 4 and 6. In this case, however, it would be necessary to provide additional electrical connection means such as electrical son between the first printed circuit portion 4 and the middle portion 8 , and between the middle portion 8 and the second printed circuit portion 6, which is not necessarily very convenient. Therefore, according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the first printed circuit portion 4, the middle portion 8 and the second printed circuit portion 6 are made in one piece.
- the median portion 8 will thus also consist of a printed circuit sheet portion on which will be structured the electrically conductive track or tracks for ensuring electrical continuity between the first and second printed circuit portions 4 and 6.
- the median portion 8 of approximately annular shape, is formed of two arches 8a and 8b which define an outer diameter substantially corresponding to the outside diameter of a middle part of a watch case. which is intended to be disposed above the middle portion 8 with the interposition of an insert 14 between the watch case 1 2 and the middle portion 8.
- This insert 14 comprises a rigid ring 1 6 whose geometry is similar to that of the median part 8 and which is fixed on this median part 8 by any appropriate means such as gluing.
