Abstract
A timepiece to be worn on the person which provides a silent mechanism alarm in the form of a tactile stimulus to the wearer when the chosen alarm time is reached. The tactile stimulus is provided by a motor attached to or integral with the timepiece and which may be driven by the same battery. The motor may actuate an element which creates the tactile stimulus in the form of vibrations, oscillations, a thumping sensation or a tightening of the wristband, among others.
