A watch case includes a case middle, a bezel, and an external element at least partially disposed between the case middle and the bezel. The bezel includes at least one hollow revealing the external element. The external element is attached directly to the case middle, independently of an attachment of the bezel to the case middle.

Watch case provided with an external element

A device for attachment of a timepiece movement to a watch case, including a peripheral attachment element of the movement positioned in abutment on an axial bearing surface of the case. The device includes thermoformed studs integral with the case having a mushroom shape at an end thereof providing an axial retaining surface acting as a rivet to hold the peripheral attachment element of the movement against the axial bearing surface of the case.

Method and device for assembling a movement to a watch case

A display module for a timepiece, including a dial, on a lower face of which is secured a digital information display device, a solar cell, and a plate. The solar cell is accommodated in the plate such that the solar cell is underneath and at a small distance from the dial. The assembly formed by the dial and the digital information display device is disposed atop the solar cell.

The wristwatch () is provided with an electrical connector (), which is connected via a connection element () to at least one electronic circuit and/or to a rechargeable battery which are disposed inside the watch case. The electrical connector () is a female USB electrical connector, which is disposed on an inner surface of the bracelet (), and where the bracelet is fixed to the middle part () of the watch case. The inner surface of the bracelet comes into contact with the user's wrist when the watch is worn. The connection element () passes through the middle part to connect a contact area of the electrical connector to the electronic circuit and/or the rechargeable battery inside the case.

Wristwatch provided with an electrical connector

A timepiece assembly including centring pins integral with a bottom plate, each arranged to cooperate with radial and tangential play with an oblong groove in a dial, for the relative positioning of the dial with respect to the bottom plate, and a holding means integral with the bottom plate, arranged to cooperate with a complementary holding device integral with the dial, the holding device and/or complementary holding device including an elastic return device for pressing the dial resting onto the bottom plate. The elastic return device has tangential mobility in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the bottom plate and to a radial line connecting the center of the bottom plate to the elastic return device.
