no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0037] figure 1 It is a perspective view showing the first embodiment when the timepiece of the present invention including the dial assembly of the present invention is applied to a wristwatch, figure 2 yes figure 1 A cutaway view of the watch shown, image 3 is viewed from the side figure 1 The exploded perspective view of the dial assembly in Figure 4 is viewed from the dorsal side figure 1 An exploded perspective view of the dial assembly in . In addition, for the convenience of explanation below, the Figure 1 ~ Figure 4 middle( Figure 5 The same is true) the upper side is called "upper", "upper" or "front", and the lower side is called "lower", "lower" or "back".

[0038] figure 1 The illustrated wristwatch (hereinafter, simply referred to as “timepiece”) 1 includes a watch body (casing) 2 , a back cover 3 , a protective glass (windshield glass) 5 , and a band 20 . Additionally, if figure 2 As shown, in the internal space 50 of the timepiece 1 (the space su...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0090] Figure 5 It is an exploded perspective view showing a second embodiment when the timepiece of the present invention including the dial assembly of the present invention is applied to a wristwatch. In addition, in Figure 5 In the dial assembly of , the first dial, the second dial, and the spacer are omitted.

[0091] Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the dial assembly and the timepiece of the present invention will be described with reference to this figure, and the description will focus on the differences from the above-mentioned embodiment, and the description of the same matters will be omitted.

Abstract

A dial assembly held within a timepiece case together with a movement for which the hour hand and minute hand are supported to be able to rotate is provided. The movement supports at least one miniature hand to be able to rotate at a position different from the hour hand and minute hand. The dial assembly comprising includes a first dial that is light transmissive, a second dial arranged on the back surface side of the first dial, and at last one spacer forming a ring shape arranged between the first dial and the second dial. The miniature hand rotates within a space enclosed by the first dial, the second dial, and the spacer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a dial assembly and a timepiece. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a wristwatch is known that includes two dials arranged with a gap therebetween, and a movement that rotatably supports an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). In the wristwatch described in Patent Document 1, a positioning pin that regulates the positional relationship (height relationship) between two dials is fixed to the movement. That is, in the wristwatch described in Patent Document 1, the mutual positional relationship between the two dials is restricted by the positioning pins fixed to the movement. Therefore, the size of the gap (gap length) between the two dials is constant (unchanged). [0003] In order to apply the watch described in Patent Document 1 to, for example, a chronograph having small hands in addition to hour, minute, and second hands, the small hands may be placed in ...
