A watch (100, 200, 300) is disclosed as including a case and a rotation module (106, 206, 306) with a longitudinal axis (L-L, N-N, P-P), in which the rotation module (106, 206, 306) is contained within the case and freely rotatable relative to the case about the longitudinal axis (L-L, N-N, P-P), the rotation module (106, 206, 306) including a number of movement parts (134, 234, 334), and, upon rotation of the rotation module (106, 206, 306) relative to the case, the movement parts (134, 234, 334) are each movable relative to the rotation module (106, 206, 306) and to-and-fro along a respective path (Lm1-Lm1, Lm2-Lm2, Lm3-Lm3, Lm4-Lm4, Nm1-Nm1, Nm2-Nm2, Nm3-Nm3, Nm4-Nm4, Pm1-Pm1, Pm2-Pm2, Pm3-Pm3, Pm4-Pm4).

Provided is a device case including a case main body; a plurality of first exterior members arranged on a lateral part of the case main body; a plurality of second exterior members arranged on a lateral part of the case main body and fixed to the case main body; and a top face member that presses the plurality of first exterior members and the plurality of second exterior members from above. The top face member is fitted to the plurality of first exterior members. The case main body and each of the plurality of first exterior members are fixed to each other with a screw.

A time-indicating method includes at least of a time-indicating device for the hours and an additional time-indicating device for the minutes, wherein the time-indicating devices are indicating elements with a bearing point, and the bearing point of each time-indicating device is arranged on a common axis. An additional display element is rotatably arranged on the common virtual axis, and each display element has a slot extending from the outer circumference to the bearing point such that the slots rotate one below the other and independently of one another, wherein one, two, or three display elements are moved in an alternating manner via a setting device.

A mechanism for displaying lunar and solar eclipses for a mechanical or electromechanical horological movement configured to be able to operate the mechanism. The mechanism (1) includes a first moving indicator (2) corresponding to a first luminary and a second moving indicator (3) corresponding to a second luminary. Provided is a first zone (6) in which the first indicator (2) and second indicator (3) are visible, and a second zone (7) allowing the one or more indicators (2, 3, 4, 5) to be concealed behind a cover (8). Also, a third moving indicator (4) corresponding to the second luminary in a configuration that is different from that of the second indicator (3), the third moving indicator (4) having at least one visible feature that is different from the second moving indicator (3), wherein the third indicator (4) is visible in the first zone (6) instead of the second indicator (3).

To provide an index, a dial plate, and a timepiece which are excellent in aesthetics.SOLUTION: An index 30 fixed on a dial plate 3 includes: a first member 31 having a protrusion 34 and legs 35 for fixation on a dial plate, which protrude from the protrusion 34; and a second member 32 which has a fitting hole 37 so as to be engaged with the first member 31 by inserting the protrusion 34 into the fitting hole 37. Both of the first member 31 and the second member 32 can be visually recognized in planer view.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

A case including a case main body, a first exterior member which is arranged on an upper part of the case main body, and positioning members which are connected to the first exterior member, and positionally fix the first exterior member on the case main body, in which the first exterior member has connection portions provided in an undersurface thereof, and the positioning members have first positioning portions which are arranged in the connection portions, positionally fixed in the first exterior member, and positionally fixed on the case main body, and second positioning portions which are arranged and positionally fixed on the case main body.

The purpose of the present invention is to improve the durability of parts in a timepiece provided with an operation unit that causes an inner swivel to rotate only in one direction while generating a click feeling. The timepiece is provided with: a rotation operation unit (7) having a second gear (45) that rotates synchronously with the inner swivel; and a rotation restricting member (8) that restricts the operation of the rotation operation unit (7). The rotation restricting member (8) is provided with: an engagement section (53) that engages with engagement teeth (46) of the second gear (45) so as to move to a first side in the movement direction by rotation of the second gear (45) in the left-handed direction and to move to a second side in the movement direction by rotation of the second gear (45) in the right-handed direction; a restricting wall section (55) that restricts the movement of the rotation restricting member (8) at the restricting position on the first side and allows the movement of the rotation restricting member (8) on the second side; and an urging part (60) that urges the engagement part (53) toward the first side in a state where the rotation restricting member (8) is in an urging position at which the rotation restricting member (8) moves from the restricting position toward the second side. The engagement section (53) is disengageable from the engagement teeth (46) of the second gear (45) that rotates to the right when the rotation restricting member (8) is in the urging position.

The invention relates to a method of assembling at least a first element and a second element to form, when assembled, a casing component for a portable device, comprising at least the steps of: a) manufacturing the first element; b) manufacturing the second element; c) providing at least one first groove in the first element and at least one second groove in the second element; d) joining and holding the first element and the second element together by means of at least one third connecting element which is inserted in a locking manner into the first and second grooves.
