Description

La présente invention concerne une montre et plus particulièrement une montre-bracelet permettant un affichage latéral des indications notamment horaires.The present invention relates to a watch and more particularly to a wristwatch allowing a lateral display of the particular hourly indications.

Une montre actuelle, ou même ancienne, comporte, d'une part, des organes de l'horlogerie mécanique généralement dénommés mouvement, et, d'autre part, un emballage (boîtier, cadran, aiguilles, par exemple).A current, or even old, watch comprises, on the one hand, mechanical watch organs generally referred to as movement, and, on the other hand, a package (case, dial, hands, for example).

Dans le cas d'une montre-bracelet, la montre est fixée à un bracelet pour être portée au poignet.In the case of a wristwatch, the watch is attached to a bracelet to be worn on the wrist.

La lecture des indications horaires se fait au travers d'une surface transparente, appelée verre de montre, constituant le dessus du boîtier de montre. En conséquence, l'utilisateur doit, soit disposer la montre face à son regard ou l'inverse. Le porteur d'une montre-bracelet, est ainsi conduit à tourner le poignet portant la montre-bracelet et à la présenter sous son regard, mais un tel geste peut constituer un risque d'accident : par exemple, un conducteur devra lâcher son volant et ne plus conduire que d'une main s'il veut lire l'heure sur sa montre-bracelet. Cette manoeuvre qui, de plus, entraînera le fait que son regard devra quitter la route, peut provoquer un accident.Reading time indications is through a transparent surface, called watch glass, constituting the top of the watch case. As a result, the user must either have the watch facing his eyes or vice versa. The wearer of a wristwatch, is thus led to turn the wrist wearing the wristwatch and present it under his gaze, but such a gesture may constitute a risk of accident: for example, a driver will have to let go of his steering wheel and only drive with one hand if he wants to read the time on his wristwatch. This maneuver, which, moreover, will cause the fact that his eyes will have to leave the road, can cause an accident.

Traditionnellement, le mouvement d'une montre est disposé dans un boîtier qui est constitué d'un fond généralement opaque, d'un dessus transparent, les bords de ce fond et de ce dessus étant reliés par une entretoise afin de délimiter un volume le plus souvent cylindrique.Traditionally, the movement of a watch is arranged in a housing which consists of a generally opaque bottom, a transparent top, the edges of this bottom and of this top being connected by a spacer to delimit a volume the more often cylindrical.

Aussi un des buts de la présente invention est-il de fournir une montre dont le boîtier permet de lire latéralement les indications horaires notamment.Also one of the aims of the present invention is to provide a watch whose housing can read laterally including time indications.

Un autre but de l'invention est de fournir une telle montre à des coûts de revient du même ordre que ceux pour les montres actuelles.Another object of the invention is to provide such a watch at costs of the same order as those for current watches.

Ces buts, ainsi que d'autres qui apparaitront par la suite, sont atteints par une montre permettant un affichage latéral d'indications notamment horaires, comprenant, d'une part, un mouvement entraînant les indications notamment horaires et, d'autre part, un boîtier dans lequel est situé le mouvement composé de deux flancs, l'un constituant le fond et l'autre le dessus de ce boîtier, caractérisée par le fait que:

  • l'entretoise comporte une zone délimitée permettant l'affichage des indications notamment horaires ;
  • la montre est montée sur un bracelet et que la zone permettant l'affichage des indications notamment horaires est disposée au niveau du bracelet ;
  • les indications horaires comprennent un cadran mobile en rotation entraîné par le mouvement de la montre, sur le pourtour duquel sont portées les heures et les minutes, et une aiguille sont recourbés à leur périphérie de façon à être affichée dans la zone de l'entretoise.
These goals, as well as others which will appear thereafter, are achieved by a watch allowing a lateral display of particular hourly indications, including, on the one hand, a movement involving the particular hourly indications and, secondly, a housing in which is located the movement consisting of two flanks, one constituting the bottom and the other the top of this housing, characterized in that:
  • the spacer has a delimited zone for displaying the particular hourly indications;
  • the watch is mounted on a bracelet and that the area for displaying the particular hourly indications is arranged at the bracelet;
  • the hourly indications comprise a rotating dial driven by the movement of the watch, on the periphery of which the hours and minutes are worn, and a needle are curved at their periphery so as to be displayed in the zone of the spacer.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'entretoise est en un matériau transparent, tel que par exemple un verre.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the spacer is made of a transparent material, such as for example a glass.

Avantageusement, l'entretoise comporte une zone délimitée pour l'affichage des indications notamment horaires.Advantageously, the spacer comprises a zone defined for the display of particular hourly indications.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'entretoise est en un matériau opaque et comporte un guichet où s'affichent les indications notamment horaires.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the spacer is made of an opaque material and comprises a window where the indications including hourly display.

Avantageusement, l'entretoise comporte une deuxième zone permettant l'affichage notamment d'indications horaires correspondant à un autre fuseau horaire.Advantageously, the spacer comprises a second zone allowing the display including hourly indications corresponding to another time zone.

De préférence, la zone permettant l'affichage des indications notamment horaires est disposée au niveau du bracelet auquel est fixé le boîtier de montre.Preferably, the zone for displaying the particular hourly indications is arranged at the level of the bracelet to which the watch case is attached.

Avantageusement, les heures s'affichent selon le principe des heures ou des minutes sautantes.Advantageously, the hours are displayed according to the principle of jumping hours or minutes.

De préférence, le mouvement comporte un affichage des heures ou des minutes rétrograde.Preferably, the movement includes a retrograde hour or minute display.

La description qui va suivre et qui ne présente aucun caractère limitatif, doit être lue en regard des figures annexées relatives à une montre-bracelet, un exemple de réalisation d'une montre selon la présente invention, parmi lesquelles :

  • La figure 1 est une vue latérale d'une montre-bracelet selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention ; et,
  • La figure 2 est une vue latérale d'une montre-bracelet selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention
The following description, which has no limiting character, should be read in conjunction with the appended figures relating to a wristwatch, an embodiment of a watch according to the present invention, among which:
  • The figure 1 is a side view of a wristwatch according to a first embodiment of the invention; and,
  • The figure 2 is a side view of a wristwatch according to a second embodiment of the invention

Ainsi qu'on peut le voir sur ces figures, une montre-bracelet selon la présente invention comprend notamment un boîtier, désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 1, composé de deux flans parallèles, l'un constituant le fond 2 du boîtier et l'autre le dessus 3 de ce boîtier. Les bords de ces deux flans, 2 et 3, sont solidaires d'une entretoise 4 constituant la paroi latérale ou tranche de ce boîtier 1 : est ainsi délimité un volume dans lequel est situé le mouvement de la montre.As can be seen in these figures, a wristwatch according to the present invention comprises in particular a housing, designated as a whole by the reference 1, composed of two parallel blanks, one constituting the bottom 2 of the housing and the other the top 3 of this case. The edges of these two blanks, 2 and 3, are integral with a spacer 4 constituting the side wall or slice of the housing 1: is thus defined a volume in which is located the movement of the watch.

Ce boîtier de montre est monté de façon connue sur un bracelet 5, destiné à être disposé autour d'un poignet.This watch case is mounted in a known manner on a bracelet 5, intended to be arranged around a wrist.

Selon la présente invention, l'entretoise 4 est totalement ou partiellement transparente afin de permettre à un utilisateur de lire les indications notamment horaires. Dans le cas où l'entretoise 4 est partiellement transparente, ceci peut être obtenu par exemple en ménageant des parties transparentes dans une entretoise métallique, ou en ne sablant que certaines parties d'une entretoise en verre.According to the present invention, the spacer 4 is totally or partially transparent in order to allow a user to read the indications including hourly. In the case where the spacer 4 is partially transparent, this can be achieved for example by providing transparent parts in a metal spacer, or by sandblasting only parts of a glass spacer.

Selon une variante de réalisation, l'entretoise 4 peut comporter une zone délimitée par un cadre ou par des traits pour déterminer la plage où les indications notamment horaires s'afficheront. Le fait que l'entretoise 4 soit transparente permet de voir le mécanisme de la montre elle-même, comme dans les montres dites «squelettes » dont le fond du boîtier est transparent.According to an alternative embodiment, the spacer 4 may comprise an area delimited by a frame or by lines to determine the range where the particular hourly indications will be displayed. The fact that the spacer 4 is transparent makes it possible to see the mechanism of the watch itself, as in so-called "skeleton" watches whose caseback is transparent.

Dans cet exemple de réalisation représentée à la figure 1, les indications horaires comprennent un cadran 6 mobile en rotation entraîné par le mouvement de la montre, sur le pourtour duquel sont portées les heures et les minutes, et une aiguille 7 fixe, sont recourbés à leur périphérie de telle sorte que le pourtour du cadran 6 et l'extrémité libre de l'aiguille 7 apparaissent dans la zone ou la plage où l'on pourra lire les indications horaires. Au lieu d'une aiguille fixe, on peut disposer sur cette zone de l'entretoise 4 un repère.In this embodiment shown in figure 1 , the hourly indications include a rotating dial 6 driven by the movement of the watch, on the periphery of which are worn the hours and minutes, and a fixed needle 7, are bent at their periphery so that the periphery of the dial 6 and the free end of the needle 7 appear in the zone or the beach where the time indications can be read. Instead of a fixed needle, one can have on this area of the spacer 4 a marker.

Selon le mode de réalisation représentée sur la figure 2, l'entretoise 4 est opaque et comporte un guichet 8 permettant la lecture des indications horaires.According to the embodiment shown on the figure 2 the spacer 4 is opaque and comprises a window 8 for reading the time indications.

C'est le mécanisme intérieur au boîtier qui donne l'heure, soit par affichage digital, soit par le mouvement de pièces mécaniques pour des mouvements traditionnels comme des aiguilles, des heures sautantes et des aiguilles des minutes rétrogrades permettant l'affichage des heures et des minutes dans un angle restreint de quarante degrés, par exemple, restant inscrit dans la portion du boîtier de montre restant naturellement visible par l'utilisateur sans avoir à déplacer son poignet, sur lequel est fixé ce boîtier grâce au bracelet 5.It is the mechanism inside the case that gives the time, either by digital display, or by the movement of mechanical parts for traditional movements such as hands, jumping hours and retrograde minute hands allowing the display of hours and minutes in a restricted angle of forty degrees, for example, remaining inscribed in the portion of the watch case remaining naturally visible to the user without having to move his wrist, on which is fixed this case with the bracelet 5.

Dans la version mécanique, le mécanisme horloger affiche les heures sautantes qui se mettent toutes les heures en face du guichet ou de la plage de lecture qui leur est assignée et les minutes rétrogrades balaient en une heure un angle de 40 degrés environ et reviennent à leur point de départ, point zéro, pour recommencer leur chemin.In the mechanical version, the watch mechanism displays the jumping hours that are placed every hour in front of the wicket or reading range assigned to them and the retrograde minutes sweep in an hour at an angle of about 40 degrees and return to their point of departure, zero point, to start again their way.

Dans une autre version les heures peuvent être rétrogrades et les minutes sautantes, l'affichage de l'un et de l'autre étant toujours visible à l'inverse de l'usage sur la tranche de la montre dans un angle limité de son pourtour.In another version, the hours can be retrograde and jumping minutes, the display of one and the other being always visible contrary to the use on the edge of the watch in a limited angle of its periphery. .

Pour ce faire les éléments de mécanisme comportant l'affichage des heures ou des minutes sautantes doivent à l'inverse de l'usage avoir une partie portant des chiffres ou éléments d'affichage parallèles à l'entretoise de façon à coïncider avec les guichets de la tranche et les aiguilles fonctionnant de façon rétrograde doivent avoir leur extrémité pliée pour que leur mouvement devienne visible sur la tranche de la montre.To do this, the mechanism elements comprising the display of the jumping hours or minutes must, unlike the use, have a part carrying numbers or display elements parallel to the spacer so as to coincide with the counters of FIG. the slice and needles operating retrograde must have their end folded so that their movement becomes visible on the edge of the watch.

Le dessus de la montre est ainsi laissé libre pour recevoir un décor ou pour afficher d'autres éléments comme les phases de la lune ou un thermomètre ou toute information produite par la montre autre que l'heure proprement dite.The top of the watch is thus left free to receive a decoration or to display other elements such as the phases of the moon or a thermometer or any information produced by the watch other than the actual time.

On peut par exemple y faire figurer un cadran avec un deuxième fuseau horaire ou un dateur ou toute autre indication que l'on trouve dans les montres de haute horlogerie.For example, it may include a dial with a second time zone or a date or any other indication that can be found in watches.

Dans le cas d'une montre-poignet, la zone permettant l'affichage des indications notamment horaires sera avantageusement disposée au niveau du bracelet auquel est fixé le boîtier de montre.In the case of a wristwatch, the zone allowing the display of the particular hourly indications will advantageously be arranged at the level of the bracelet to which the watch case is attached.

On comprend bien que le fait d'avoir mis l'affichage de l'heure et éventuellement des minutes sur la tranche de la montre outre la facilité de lecture ainsi garantie, permet aussi une utilisation plus libre et abondante des surfaces du dessus du boîtier pour afficher d'autres fonctions que l'heure ou pour améliorer la décoration du boîtier comme des pavages de pierres ou tout autre décor.It is understood that the fact of having put the time display and possibly minutes on the edge of the watch in addition to the ease of reading thus guaranteed, also allows a freer and more abundant use of the surfaces of the top of the housing for display other functions than the time or to improve the decoration of the case like stone paving or any other decoration.
