Embodiment Construction

[0017] The present invention stems from the general inventive idea of ​​integrating a light source and associated energy and control means within the dial of a watch. The light source must be integrated in such a way that it is completely autonomous with respect to the watch movement. It is thus possible to associate one or more electronic functions with a purely mechanical watch in order to expand the range of functions offered by said watch without compromising the emotional factor of the mechanical watch. If the watch dial is removably mounted, it is also possible to change the function provided by the watch. Naturally, it is also possible to mount the dial of the invention on an electromechanical or even a purely electronic watch. The only condition that needs to be met is that the dial forms an electronic module completely autonomous with respect to the watch movement. Various types of electronic devices are contemplated, such as one or more sources of ultraviolet radia...

Abstract

The invention relates to a trimming element for a wristwatch, characterized in that at least one electronic device and a power source for supplying power to the electronic device are built into the trimming element so as to form a self-contained electronic module which is totally separate from the movement of the wristwatch.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an exterior element for a watch having at least one electronic function. More specifically, the invention relates to an external element for a watch having at least one electronic function that is completely autonomous with respect to the watch movement. Background technique [0002] The invention relates in particular to watches with mechanical movements, but is not limited thereto. Users' affection for purely mechanical watches is known. However, the user who wears a mechanical watch cannot enjoy the advantages that electronic functions can provide. Contents of the invention [0003] The object of the present invention is to overcome this problem by providing a watch with at least one electronic function, the operation of which is completely autonomous with respect to the operation of the watch movement. [0004] The invention therefore relates to a watch dial characterized in that at least one light source and a photovo...
