[0005] Further features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments (with reference to the attached drawings). BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0007] Figure 2 is shown along Figure 1 An enlarged sectional view of the main parts of the watch shown in the view of arrow AA.

[0008] Figure 3 It is an enlarged front view showing a second embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a wristwatch.

[0009] Figure 4 is shown along Figure 3 An enlarged sectional view of the main parts of the watch shown in the arrow BB view. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] (First Embodiment)

[0011] Refer to the following Figure 1 and Figure 2 A first embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a wristwatch will be described.

[0012] like Figure 1 As shown, the wristwatch W1 includes a case 1. Band attachment portions 3 to which a watch band 2 is attached are provided at the 12 o'clock side and the 6 o'clock side of the case 1, respectively.

[0013] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, switch devices 4 to 6 are provided on the 2 o'clock side, the 3 o'clock side and the 4 o'clock side of the housing 1, respectively. Among these switch devices 4 to 6, for example, the switch device 4 on the 2 o'clock side is a switch for starting timing when the operation mode of the watch W1 is the tachymeter mode. The switch device 5 on the 3 o'clock side is a crown for modifying the time. The switch device 6 on the 4 o'clock side is a switch for switching the operation mode of the watch W1. In addition to the tachymeter mode, the operation mode of the watch W1 can also include a stopwatch mode, a world time mode, a timer mode, etc.

[0014] On the other hand, Figure 2 As shown, the case 1 includes a first case 7 and a second case 8 as a display component (a display component for a clock). The first case 7 is formed of a highly rigid synthetic resin or metal. The second case 8 is a bezel mounted on the upper part of the first case 7 via a first waterproof seal 9. The second case 8 can be formed of a synthetic resin, but is preferably formed of a metal such as a titanium alloy.

[0015] like Figure 2 As shown, the watch glass 10 is mounted to the upper opening of the case 1, i.e., the upper opening of the second case 8, via a glass seal 11. The back cover 12 is mounted to the lower part of the case 1, i.e., the lower part of the first case 7, via a second waterproof seal 13. In addition, a clock module 14 is provided inside the case 1 via a middle frame 14a.

[0016] In this case, if Figure 2 As shown, a dial 15 is provided on the upper part of the clock module 14, and a dial ring 16 as an annular partition member is arranged between the upper surface of the outer periphery of the dial 15 and the lower surface of the outer periphery of the watch glass 10. That is, the dial ring 16 is arranged on the inner periphery of the second housing 8 in a state where the lower surface is arranged on the upper surface of the outer periphery of the dial 15. The cross-sectional shape of the dial ring 16 is substantially triangular, and the inner periphery is formed as an inclined surface 16a.

[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the clock module 14 has various devices required for clock functions, such as a clock movement (not shown) for moving the hands 17 such as the second hand 17a, the minute hand 17b, and the hour hand 17c above the dial 15, a display unit 18 for displaying information such as the date or day of the week, and a circuit unit (not shown) for driving and controlling the clock movement or the display unit 18.

[0018] In this case, if Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , the display portion 18 is provided in the area between the center portion and the 3 o'clock side of the dial 15. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, hour characters 20 are provided at equal intervals from 1 o'clock to 12 o'clock on the outer periphery of the dial 15 . Parts of the outer periphery ends of the plurality of hour characters 20 are arranged on the inclined surface 16 a of the dial ring 16 .

[0019] By the way, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , an outer peripheral side surface 24 as a first surface having different inclination angles and an inner peripheral side surface 25 as a second surface are provided on the upper surface of the second housing 8 as a display part of the housing 1. A first mark 26 and a second mark 27 of a speedometer are respectively displayed on the outer peripheral side surface 24 and the inner peripheral side surface 25. The speedometer measures the average speed of a traveling body based on the rotation angle of a needle that moves the needle during the time taken for a traveling body such as a vehicle to travel a predetermined distance, for example, 1 km.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer peripheral side surface 24 and the inner peripheral side surface 25 are respectively formed into circular rings, and the outer peripheral side surface 24 is concentrically arranged outside the inner peripheral side surface 25. The outer peripheral side surface 24 is inclined at a visually recognizable angle relative to the visual recognition direction. That is, the outer peripheral side surface 24 is formed as an inclined surface whose height gradually decreases from the inner periphery to the outer periphery. In contrast, the inner peripheral side surface 25 is formed as a plane orthogonal to the visual recognition direction.

[0021] Therefore, in the second shell 8 of the case 1 of the watch W1, the outer peripheral side surface 24 as the first surface is an inclined surface, and the inner peripheral side surface 25 as the second surface is a horizontal plane. Therefore, when the watch W1 is observed from the front of the case 1, both the first mark 26 on the outer peripheral side surface 24 and the second mark 27 on the inner peripheral side surface 25 can be visually identified, thereby improving the visual recognizability of the first mark 26 and the second mark 27.

[0022] like Figure 1As shown, a first mark 26 of a speedometer is displayed on the outer peripheral side surface 24 as the first surface. In addition, a second mark 27 of a speedometer is displayed on the inner peripheral side surface 25 as the second surface. In this case, each of the first mark 26 and the second mark 27 is engraved and displayed with a number used in the speedometer mode.

[0023] That is, the first mark 26 and the second mark 27 are marks indicating values ​​determined based on a predetermined reference, and the first mark 26 and the second mark 27 include a plurality of values ​​different from each other, which are arranged in descending order clockwise on the outer peripheral side surface 24 and the inner peripheral side surface 25. Thus, the first mark 26 and the second mark 27 are configured to display a plurality of values ​​determined based on a predetermined reference by complementing each other, and the plurality of values ​​determined based on a predetermined reference can be accurately displayed by the first mark 26 and the second mark 27.

[0024] That is, Figure 1 As shown, the first mark 26 displays a number indicating time in a predetermined scale unit. In addition, the second mark 27 is a number indicating time that is a number in the middle between the plurality of numbers of the first mark 26, and is displayed corresponding to each of the middle between the plurality of numbers of the first mark 26. In this case, the size of the number of the first mark 26 is displayed larger than the size of the number of the second mark 27. In addition, the thickness of the number of the first mark 26 is displayed thicker than the thickness of the number of the second mark 27.

[0025] In addition, different surface treatments are applied to the outer peripheral side surface 24 and the inner peripheral side surface 25. For example, the outer peripheral side surface 24 may be subjected to radial wire drawing, and the inner peripheral side surface 25 may be subjected to circular wire drawing orthogonal to the radial direction. In addition, for example, the outer peripheral side surface 24 may be subjected to wire drawing, and the inner peripheral side surface 25 may be subjected to mirror finishing or pear skin finishing. That is, the outer peripheral side surface 24 and the inner peripheral side surface 25 may be subjected to different surface treatments by combining the above-mentioned various surface treatments.

[0026] In other words, a ridgeline is formed and interposed between the outer peripheral side surface 24 and the inner peripheral side surface 25 on the surface of the second housing 8. The ridgeline is visually recognized as a boundary line between the first mark 26 and the second mark 27, thereby making it easy to mutually recognize the first mark 26 displayed on the outer peripheral side surface 24 and the second mark 27 displayed on the inner peripheral side surface 25, making each easy to see and improving visual recognition.

[0027] Next, the operation of such a wristwatch W1 will be described.

[0028] When using the watch W1, first, the housing 1 is worn on the wrist using the strap 2. In this state, the hands 17 such as the second hand 17a, the minute hand 17b, and the hour hand 17c move above the dial 15 and indicate the hour characters 20 on the dial 15 and the scale on the dial ring 16, thereby indicating and displaying the current time.

[0029] In this state, for example, when the average speed of a moving object such as a car is measured using a speedometer, first, the switch device 6 is operated a necessary number of times to select the speedometer mode. Then, the second hand 17a stops at the 12 o'clock position in the initial state. Thereafter, when the switch device 4 is operated once, the second hand 17a starts to move from the 12 o'clock position at a predetermined rotation speed (for example, a speed of one revolution per minute).

[0030] Then, when the vehicle or other moving body has traveled a predetermined distance, for example, 1 km, the switch device 4 is operated again, and the second hand 17a stops. Then, the movement of the second hand 17a stops, and the first mark 26 on the outer peripheral side 24 and the second mark 27 on the inner peripheral side 25 displayed on the upper surface of the second housing 8 as the display member are indicated.

[0031] Thus, the average speed of the traveling body such as a car when it travels a predetermined distance (for example, 1 km) is calculated from the numbers or scales displayed on the first mark 26 on the outer peripheral side 24 and the second mark 27 on the inner peripheral side 25 and indicated by the second hand 17a.

[0032] In this case, the outer side surface 24 and the inner side surface 25 are respectively formed in a circular shape on the upper surface of the second housing 8 as a display member, and the outer side surface 24 is arranged concentrically on the outer side of the inner side surface 25. As a result, the first mark 26 of the outer side surface 24 and the second mark 27 of the inner side surface 25 are doubled, that is, displayed in two rows. Therefore, the time display numbers of the first mark 26 and the time display numbers of the second mark 27 are displayed larger and easier to see.

[0033] Here, in the watch disclosed in the aforementioned Japanese Patent Publication No. 2007-286049, the bezel as a display component is divided into an outer annular area and an inner annular area in the radial direction of the ring on an upper surface of the annular bezel, and the names of various cities are engraved. However, in the portion where the engraving of the outer annular area is adjacent to the engraving of the inner annular area, their engravings look seamless, so that the visual recognition is poor. In contrast, the outer peripheral side surface 24 is inclined relative to the visual recognition direction. That is, the outer peripheral side surface 24 is formed as an inclined surface whose height gradually decreases from the inner periphery toward the outer periphery, while the inner peripheral side surface 25 is formed as a horizontal plane. Thus, due to the difference in physical angles between the outer peripheral side surface 24 and the inner peripheral side surface 25, it is easy to visually recognize the boundary line between them, so even if the first mark 26 of the outer peripheral side surface 24 and the second mark 27 of the inner peripheral side surface 25 are arranged close to each other, it is possible to reduce the possibility of misidentifying the numerical value due to their marks being visually recognized as being seamless, and then, improve the visual recognition of each of the first mark 26 and the second mark 27.

[0034] In addition, the first mark 26 of the outer peripheral side surface 24 displays the displayed number in a predetermined scale unit, and the second mark 27 of the inner peripheral side surface 25 displays the numbers in the middle between the multiple numbers of the first mark 26, and is displayed corresponding to the middle between the numbers of the first mark 26. Therefore, even if the position indicated by the second hand 17a is between the numbers of the marks of one of the first mark 26 or the second mark 27, the accurate number (the average speed of the running body) can be obtained from the number of the other mark, so that the average speed of the running body can be indicated more accurately than in the case of only the number of one of the marks.

[0035] In addition, since the outer side surface 24 and the inner side surface 25 are concentric circles and the outer side surface 24 is arranged outside the inner side surface 25, the circumference is longer. Since the circumference of the outer side surface 24 is longer than the circumference of the inner side surface 25, the numeral of the first mark 26 can have a wider character width in the circumferential direction than the numeral of the second mark 27. By making the first mark 26 of the outer side surface 24 have a wider character width in a limited space, the visual recognition of the first mark 26 can be improved.

[0036] On the contrary, the numerals of the second mark 27 can have a narrower character width in the circumferential direction than the numerals of the first mark 26. By making the second mark 27 on the inner circumferential side surface 25 have a narrower character width within a limited space, more second marks 27 can be displayed while appropriately maintaining the spacing between the second marks 27, thereby improving visual recognition.

[0037] In addition, since different surface treatments are applied to the outer side surface 24 displaying the first mark 26 and the inner side surface 25 displaying the second mark 27, the boundary line between them can be easily visually identified due to the difference in surface treatment of the outer side surface 24 and the inner side surface 25. Therefore, even if the first mark 26 of the outer side surface 24 and the second mark 27 of the inner side surface 25 are arranged close to each other, the possibility of misidentifying the numerical value due to their marks being visually identified as mixed together can be reduced, thereby improving the visual recognizability of each of the first mark 26 and the second mark 27.

[0038] In addition, in the second shell 8 of the shell 1 of the watch W1, the outer peripheral side surface 24 serving as the first surface and the inner peripheral side surface 25 serving as the second surface are respectively circular in shape. Since the outer peripheral side surface 24 is arranged concentrically on the outside of the inner peripheral side surface 25, the first mark 26 and the second mark 27 can be displayed doubly, that is, in two columns. Therefore, compared with the case where the first mark 26 and the second mark 27 are all displayed in one column, each number can be displayed larger, which can improve visual recognition.

[0039] On the contrary, since it is impossible to display all the numbers in a row while maintaining the size of the first mark 26 and the second mark 27, when the size of the numbers is given priority in order to maintain visual recognition, only a portion of the numbers of the first mark 26 and the second mark 27 can be displayed, which may impair convenience.

[0040] Furthermore, since the outer circumferential side surface 24 on which the first mark 26 is displayed and the inner circumferential side surface 25 on which the second mark 27 is displayed are subjected to different surface treatments, the decorativeness of the case 1 is improved, thereby improving the appearance and design of the entire watch.

[0041] For example, by applying radial wire drawing to the outer peripheral side 24 and applying circular wire drawing orthogonal to the radial direction to the inner peripheral side 25, the decorativeness and design of the housing 1 are improved. Similarly, by applying wire drawing to the outer peripheral side 24 and applying mirror finish or pear skin finish to the inner peripheral side 25, the decorativeness and design of the housing 1 are improved. That is, by applying a combination of the above-mentioned various surface treatments to the outer peripheral side 24 and the inner peripheral side 25, the decorativeness and design of the housing 1 are improved.

[0042] In addition, in the first embodiment, the second surface, i.e., the inner peripheral side surface 25, provided on the upper surface of the second housing 8 as the display component is formed as a horizontal plane, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the inner peripheral side surface may also be formed as an inclined surface. In this case, the inner peripheral side surface as the second surface may be an inclined surface whose height gradually increases from the inner periphery toward the outer periphery, and may also be an inclined surface whose height gradually decreases from the inner periphery toward the outer periphery at an inclined angle gentler than the inclined angle of the outer peripheral side surface 24 of the first surface.

[0043] In addition, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, the first mark 26 displayed on the outer side surface 24 and the second mark 27 displayed on the inner side surface 25 are described as being numbers indicating the speed of the speedometer, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first mark on the outer side surface 24 and the second mark on the inner side surface 25 may also be the names of various cities in the world in world time.

[0044] (Second Embodiment)

[0045] Next, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 A second embodiment of the present invention applied to a wristwatch will be described. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The same parts as those of the first embodiment will be described using the same reference numerals.

[0046] In the watch W2 of the second embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the display member is a dial ring 30 as a partition member provided on the outer periphery of the dial 15 of the case 1. Except for this, the configuration is almost the same as that of the first embodiment.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , the dial ring 30 may be formed of a synthetic resin, but is preferably formed of a metal such as a titanium alloy. In addition, the dial ring 30 includes an outer peripheral side surface 31 as a first surface and an inner peripheral side surface 32 as a second surface, each having a different inclination angle. In this case, the outer peripheral side surface 31 and the inner peripheral side surface 32 are each formed in a circular ring shape, and the outer peripheral side surface 31 is concentrically arranged on the outer side of the inner peripheral side surface 32.

[0048] like Figure 3 and 4As shown, the outer peripheral side surface 31 and the inner peripheral side surface 32 are respectively inclined at visually recognizable angles relative to the visual recognition direction. That is, the outer peripheral side surface 31 is formed as a first inclined surface inclined at a gentle inclination angle in a manner that the height gradually decreases from the outer periphery to the inner periphery. The inner peripheral side surface 32 is formed as a second inclined surface inclined at a steep inclination angle greater than the first inclined surface in a manner that the height suddenly decreases from the outer periphery to the inner periphery. Thus, due to the difference in physical angles between the outer peripheral side surface 31 and the inner peripheral side surface 32, the boundary line between them can be easily visually recognized.

[0049] In addition, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first mark 33 and a second mark 34 are respectively displayed on the outer peripheral side surface 31 as the first surface and the inner peripheral side surface 32 as the second surface. In this case, the first mark 33 and the second mark 34 indicate the time. That is, the second mark 34 on the inner peripheral side surface 32 is a part of the end of each outer peripheral side of a plurality of hour characters 20 indicating 1 o'clock to 12 o'clock.

[0050] Therefore, even if the first mark 33 on the outer side surface 31 and the second mark 34 on the inner side surface 32 are arranged close to each other, due to the difference in physical angles between the outer side surface 31 and the inner side surface 32, it is easy to visually identify the boundary line between them, thereby reducing the possibility of misidentification due to the first mark 33 and the second mark 34 being visually identified as a whole, thereby improving the visual recognizability of each of the first mark 33 and the second mark 34.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the first mark 33 is a scale displayed corresponding to each of the plurality of hour characters 20 from 1 o'clock to 12 o'clock of the second mark 34 on the inner peripheral side surface 32. Thus, the size of the hour characters 20 of the second mark 34 is displayed larger than the size of the scale of the first mark 33. In addition, the thickness of the hour characters 20 of the second mark 34 is displayed thicker than the thickness of the scale of the first mark 33.

[0052] Therefore, even when the positions indicated by the pointers 17 of the second hand 17a, minute hand 17b, and hour hand 17c are between the hour characters 20 of the first mark 33, a more accurate time can be obtained through the scale of the second mark 34, so the current time can be indicated more accurately compared to the case where only one side has a mark.

[0053] In addition, as in the first embodiment, different surface treatments are applied to the outer peripheral side surface 31 as the first surface and the inner peripheral side surface 32 as the second surface. For example, radial wire drawing may be applied to the outer peripheral side surface 31, and circular wire drawing orthogonal to the radial direction may be applied to the inner peripheral side surface 32. In addition, for example, wire drawing may be applied to the outer peripheral side surface 31, and mirror finishing or pear skin finishing may be applied to the inner peripheral side surface 32. That is, by combining the above-mentioned various surface treatments, different surface treatments may be applied to the outer peripheral side surface 31 and the inner peripheral side surface 32.

[0054] According to the dial ring 30 of the display part of the watch W2 as the second embodiment, it has an outer peripheral side surface 31 as the first surface and an inner peripheral side surface 32 as the second surface with different inclination angles. By displaying a first mark 33 on the outer peripheral side surface 31 and a second mark 34 on the inner peripheral side surface 32, as in the first embodiment, the outer peripheral side surface 31 and the inner peripheral side surface 32 are inclined at different inclination angles. Therefore, the first mark 33 displayed on the outer peripheral side surface 31 and the second mark 34 displayed on the inner peripheral side surface 32 are easy to identify from each other, and each can be visually recognized well, thereby improving visual recognition.

[0055] In this case, in the dial ring 30 of the watch W2, the outer side 31 as the first surface and the inner side surface 32 as the second surface are respectively circular. By arranging the outer side surface 31 in a concentric circle on the outside of the inner side surface 32, as in the first embodiment, the first mark 33 and the second mark 34 can be displayed doubly, that is, in two rows, so that they can be displayed larger than the case where the first mark 33 and the second mark 34 are displayed in one row.

[0056] In addition, in the dial ring 30 of the watch W2, by inclining the outer side surface 31 as the first surface and the inner side surface 32 as the second surface at different inclination angles relative to the visual recognition direction, the first mark 33 and the second mark 34 displayed on the outer side surface 31 and the inner side surface 32 are easily distinguishable from each other, making each one easy to see, thereby improving visual recognition.

[0057] That is, in the dial ring 30 of the watch W2, by forming the outer side surface 31 of the first surface as a gently inclined first inclined surface, and the inner side surface 32 of the second surface as a second inclined surface that is steeper than the outer side surface 31, the second mark 34 on the inner side surface 32 and the first mark 33 on the outer side surface 31 can be easily seen, thereby improving the visual recognizability of each of the first mark 33 and the second mark 34.

[0058] In addition, in the dial ring 30 of the watch W2, by making the second mark 34 displayed on the inner side surface 32 serving as the second surface larger and thicker than the first mark 33 displayed on the outer side surface 31 serving as the first surface, the second mark 34 serving as a portion of the end portion of the outer side of the hour characters 20 displayed on the inner side surface 32 and the first mark 33 serving as a scale displayed on the outer side surface 31 can be easily identified and seen, thereby improving the visual recognizability of each of the first mark 33 and the second mark 34.

[0059] Therefore, the approximate time can be quickly recognized by the hour character 20 of the second mark 34 indicated by the pointer 17, and the accurate time can be recognized by the scale of the first mark 33, thereby also improving visual recognition.

[0060] In addition, in the dial ring 30 of the watch W2, by applying different surface treatments to the outer peripheral side surface 31 as the first surface and the inner peripheral side surface 32 as the second surface, respectively, as in the first embodiment, the decorativeness of the dial ring 30 can be improved, thereby improving the overall appearance and design of the watch W2.

[0061] In this case, the outer side surface 31 may be subjected to radial brushing, and the inner side surface 32 may be subjected to circular brushing orthogonal to the radial direction, or the outer side surface 31 may be subjected to brushing, and the inner side surface 32 may be subjected to mirror finishing or pear-skin finishing. That is, by combining the above-mentioned surface treatments on the outer side surface 31 and the inner side surface 32, the overall decorativeness and design of the watch W2 may be further improved.

[0062] In addition, in the above-mentioned second embodiment, a case is described in which the outer peripheral side surface 31 of the first surface of the dial ring 30 serving as a display component and the inner peripheral side surface 32 serving as the second surface are respectively formed as a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface inclined at different inclination angles, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the outer peripheral side surface 31 serving as the first surface may also be formed as a horizontal plane.

[0063] In addition, in the above-mentioned first embodiment and second embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to watches W1 and W2 is described, but the present invention does not necessarily have to be a watch, and can also be applied to various clocks such as travel watches, alarm clocks, table clocks, wall clocks, etc. For example, it can also be applied to electronic devices such as wrist-worn devices worn on the wrist, portable information terminals, etc.

[0064] While the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. The scope of the following claims is to be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent structures and functions.
