An electronic device including a case includes a glass and a back cover, the electronic device including at least one electronic module configured to calculate a current time, to execute plural functions and to provide information relating to the current time and to the functions to a display disposed underneath the glass. The electronic device further including a controller including at least one contact area allowing a user to act on the at least one electronic module, the at least one contact area being monitored by the electronic module at a scanning frequency.

Method for managing operations on an electronic device

A portable object including a case in which at least one electronic module is placed, the at least one electronic module configured to execute plural functions and to provide information relating to the functions to a display, the electronic device further including a controller including at least one contact area allowing a user to act on the at least one electronic module, each function being associated with a predetermined time threshold.

Method of operating an electronic device

A watch and a method of ultrasonic welding a bezel to the watch at a middle part. The watch includes: a middle part which, with a crystal, delimits a watch case, the crystal being bonded to a shoulder arranged in the watch middle part; and a bezel ultrasonically welded both to the crystal and to the watch middle part.

Watch including a bezel and method of attaching such bezel

A wristwatch with capacitive touch zones including a case made of a non electrically conductive material, the case including a housing in which a battery is housed and which is closed by an electrically conductive battery cover. The electrically conductive battery cover is mounted on the watch case with interposition of an electrically conductive sealing gasket between the battery cover and the battery.

Method of ultrasonic welding a watch crystal, the watch including a middle part which, with the crystal, delimits a watch case, the crystal including a top face oriented towards the user and an opposite bottom face oriented towards the watch cases, a digital display device being fixed to the bottom face of the crystal, a printed circuit board being disposed inside the watch case, underneath and remote from the digital display device, the digital display device being electrically connected to the printed circuit board by means of a zebra electrical connector, wherein, as the crystal is abutting on a shoulder arranged in the middle part, the ultrasounds are directed onto the shoulder to melt the shoulder and to lower the level of the crystal in the direction of the printed circuit board, so that the zebra connector is compressed between the digital display device and the printed circuit board.
