Abstract
An electro-acoustic device for an alarm watch includes a lever moved by an oscillating electromagnetic field created by an electromagnet to vibrate a moving element or glass of the watch and produce a sound. The glass is elastically mounted on a sealing ring of the watch. The lever is mounted by one end to the watch and includes a tapered part adjacent the one end which is elastically deformable thereat so that a free end of the lever opposite the one end may vibrate and its fundamental frequency in response to the oscillating electromagnetic field. The free end of the lever carries a stem coupling the lever to the glass and transmitting the oscillating motion of the lever to the glass, which vibrates on the elastic ring to produce the sound.
