A timepiece case, including a seat which guides inside it a push-piece for supplying energy, including a control member which can be operated with pressure against resilient return device and which is integral with driving device, the push-piece or the case including a flat cam track, the case or the push-piece including a pivot about which an arm carrying a pin following the profile of this track pivots, which track includes elbows directed towards the pivot and defining stable positions of the pin and ramps arranged so that any pressure applied on the control member when it is in the rest position causes the pin to come out of its stable position and to travel, under the action of the resilient return device, towards another stable position.

Timepiece case with push-piece

The invention relates to an escape valve for a timepiece including an outlet channel arranged to be capable of being in fluid communication with the interior of a case of the timepiece when the valve is in an open configuration to evacuate an excess of fluid. The valve includes a tube to be fixed in the case of the timepiece and a valve head provided with a cover and an axial skirt adapted to be placed in different axial positions, a pressure control module separate from the valve head arranged in the interior of a fluid conduit provided in the tube and axial guide elements by screwing defined in the valve head and the tube playing a part in the control of the displacement of the valve head relative to tube in the different axial positions, blocking elements preventing a disassociation between the valve head and the tube.

Escape valve for a watch

An automatic safety valve for a timepiece, especially for a diving watch. The valve includes a valve head, a tube designed to be secured in a case of the timepiece, and an evacuation channel arranged so as to be in fluidic communication with the inside of the case when the safety valve is in an open configuration so as to evacuate an excess of fluid. The safety valve further includes a pressure regulator arranged inside the evacuation channel to maintain the outlet speed of the fluid.

Safety valve for a timepiece

A crown head for a timepiece includes a cap, a tube secured in a timepiece case, a central pipe engaged with the tube, and a safety valve with a discharge channel in fluid communication with the inside of the case when the valve is in an open configuration, to discharge excess fluid. The safety valve also includes a piston fitted inside the central pipe and an elastic member to cooperate with the piston, which can be displaced axially according to the pressure variations inside the case. The crown head also includes a blockage which prevents separation of the cap and the tube. The blockage includes a shoulder arranged on the inner wall of the tube, and includes a support surface against which part of the piston can abut, and a rim provided at the base of the central pipe to abut against a shoulder on the piston.

A safety valve for a timepiece, particularly for a diving watch, including a discharge channel arranged to be able to be in fluid communication with the inside of a case of the timepiece when the valve is in an open configuration, in order to discharge excess fluid, particularly a gaseous fluid, the valve having a tube and a valve head provided with a cover and an axial skirt placed in various axial positions relative to the tube, and a pressure control module arranged inside a fluid duct provided in the tube and sliding axial guiding elements participating in controlling the movement of the valve head relative to the tube in the various axial positions, the safety valve including blocking elements preventing disconnection between the valve head and the tube and included in an outer or inner wall of the tube and in the valve head.

Watch safety valve

A timepiece including a case middle, a bezel, rotatably mounted on the case middle, and an actuation member including a cover capable of adopting a retracted position and a deployed position relative to the case middle, the cover being provided with a bearing surface actuatable by the user's finger, wherein the cover includes a shoulder distinct from the bearing surface, the shoulder being intended to cooperate with the bezel when the cover is in the retracted position.

Timepiece with retractable pusher

The invention relates to a screw-down orientable crown comprising a cover integral with a tube and receiving a distinctive sign, a fixed body pressed into a watch case middle and intended to receive the tube, and means for adjusting the angular orientation of the cover with respect to the case middle. According to the invention, the means for adjusting the angular orientation of the cover comprise a ring arranged to be screwed onto the tube, said ring comprising first indexing means arranged to cooperate with second indexing means formed in the body, the ring being pressed in and positioned on the body via the first and second indexing means.

Screw-down orientable crown

A crown for timepieces which has improved sealing regardless of its position. To achieve this, the crown includes a tube; a cap including a cover and an axial skirt; a sealing gasket disposed between the screwed or pressed-in tube and the axial skirt of the cap; a pipe fixed to the cap, the pipe and the cap forming an assembly able to be placed in different axial positions relative to the screwed or pressed-in tube; wherein the crown further includes a guide ring integral with one end of the screwed or pressed-in tube, the guide ring including a bearing surface arranged to exert an axial pressure on the sealing gasket in one of the axial positions of the cap.
