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

A control system for a rotating element of a timepiece including a control element for actuating the rotating element and a transmission device between the control element and the rotating element. In the control system a gearing device includes a hybrid gearing device including a first element, which is movable around a first rotation axis and including a drive runner made from elastomeric material, and a second element, which is movable around a second rotation axis and including a rolling tooth system. The drive runner cooperates with the rolling tooth system by friction.

Control system for a timepiece

An orientable screw-in element including a cap and a device adjusting angular orientation of the cap relative to a watch middle part. The device adjusting angular orientation of the cap includes a first part including a flat friction surface, a second part integral with the cap including a second flat friction surface and a return mechanism configured to rotate the cap integrally with the first part. The cap and first part are axially mobile in relation to each other between a first position in which the first flat friction surface and second flat friction surface are each pressed against each other by the return mechanism such that the cap rotates integrally with the first part, and a second position in which the first flat friction surface and second flat friction surface are not in contact, the cap therefore free to rotate about the rotational axis of the screw-in element.

Crown including a cap formed of a cover integral with a lateral skirt, wherein the crown includes a removable deck ring.

Removable crown

An orientable screwdown crown includes a cover and a device for adjusting the angular orientation of the cover in relation to a watch centerpart. The device for adjusting the angular orientation includes a coupling member and an indexing unit between the cover and the coupling member as well as a restoring unit, which endeavor to rotationally fix the cover and the coupling member. The indexing unit includes a first tooth arrangement arranged on the coupling member.
