An electronic timepiece bezel includes an exception indication position that allows the second hand to move relative to location markers without fixed correspondence.
Dual 180-degree pushbuttons prevent accidental rotation while maintaining a compact radial profile.
A femtosecond laser engraves deep patterns into watch dials while surface structuring adds texture.
A timepiece uses an independent seconds hand to display a selected time zone while hour and minute hands indicate the initial zone.
Diamond polishing creates precise upper surfaces on horology appliques with polygonal feet.
Rotating supports with a transparent index visualize the annual equation of time curve, revealing trend evolution without increasing mechanical complexity.
A wristwatch guard moves between use and retreated positions to enable bezel rotation.
Segmented escape wheels alternate impulse and clearance cycles, reducing energy loss and improving mechanical efficiency.
A cam and spring assembly drives a display member by one step in a timepiece mechanism.
A clockwork barrel rotates once per hour to drive a minute indicator directly.
