[0040] According to a first embodiment, the first part 10 takes the form of a one-piece part. It comprises an outer surface 11 facing the exterior of the watch and visible or partially visible to the observer. It also includes an inner surface 12 on the opposite side of the outer surface and parallel or substantially parallel to the outer surface. Its thickness may be less than or equal to 2 mm, or the average thickness may be between 0.5 nm and 2 mm inclusive.

[0041] The first part 10 comprises at least one transparent portion. The first part or said portion of the first part may be formed from one or more materials selected from the following non-exhaustive list: certain mother-of-pearl, especially black; certain fossil materials; tortoise shell; manganese calcite ; lepidolite; fossil wood; coral; amber; pearls; ivory; metals or metal alloys such as platinum or ferrite or meteorites; colored or uncolored engineered ceramics based on zirconia and / or aluminum oxide; gemsto...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a horology component (1) for a timepiece. The horology component (1) includes a first portion (10) and a second portion (20), the first portion (10) comprising one part that is at least partially transparent and at least partially superposed on top of the second portion (20), this second portion (20) taking the form of a massive portion comprising a material capable of emitting at least one emission light wave if excited by at least one excitation light wave, and the at least partially transparent part of the first portion allowing an emission light wave emitted by the second portion (20) to be transmitted at least partially toward the outside of the horology component so that the horology component exhibits at least a first appearance by day and at least one different second appearance by night where the first portion (10) is backlit by an emission light wave emitted by the second portion (20).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a variable timepiece component. The horological component may be a dial, a dial counter, symbols (hour markers, numeral markers or any marker), a bezel disc or more generally a decorative plate. The invention also relates to a timepiece, such as a watch, comprising such a variable horological member. Background technique [0002] There are horological components, especially dials, whose aesthetics produce decorative effects according to changes in light intensity. Such timepiece components traditionally include a coating of luminous lacquer. These existing timepiece components all exhibit disadvantages, including: [0003] - complex structures, resulting in complex manufacturing processes, difficult handling, limited use and / or high overall cost; and / or [0004] - Aesthetically limited reproduction. [0005] The general object of the present invention is to provide a variable timepiece member solution which does not have a...
