Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in such a watch face, it is impossible to express a three-dimensional effect exceeding the thickness of the watch face, and it is difficult to increase the thickness of the watch face itself due to the limitation of the thickness, so that the above-mentioned needs cannot be fully met.
Especially in the case of dials applied to portable timepieces such as wristwatches, the overall thickness of the timepiece is heavily restricted, making it extremely difficult to achieve a three-dimensional appearance

Abstract

The invention provides a manufacturing method of a timepiece dial, a timepiece dial, and a timepiece. To provide a timepiece dial that presents a rich stereoscopic effect, and to provide a timepiece comprising the timepiece dial, the timepiece dial of the invention comprises a microlens layer (11) composed of a plurality of microlenses (111) arranged in an orderly fashion as viewed in a planar view, and a decorative layer (12) composed of a repeating design having a plurality of constituent units. As viewed in a planar view, the microlens layer (11) and the decorative layer (12) are superimposed, and the decorative layer (12) has regions where pitches of the constituent units that are adjacent are different from each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a timepiece dial, a timepiece dial, and a timepiece. Background technique [0002] A clock and a clock face need to function as a practical product, and also need to be decorative (beautiful) as an ornament. [0003] At present, as watch faces, parts made of metal materials are generally used in order to obtain a high-end appearance. However, the range of appearances that can be expressed is limited in the existing watch faces, so that it cannot fully meet the needs of customers. demand. [0004] For example, demand for a timepiece having a dial with a three-dimensional appearance has increased, and a watch dial in which a plurality of patterns such as patterns and clear coating films are alternately formed and laminated has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). [0005] However, such a timepiece dial cannot express a three-dimensional effect beyond the thickness of the timepiece dial, and ...
