DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below. According to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, a clock storage space 2 having a time display window 3 on a palm-side outer peripheral surface 1a is provided in a thick portion of a ring 1, and the time display window 3 A digital clock is embedded so that the time displayed on the digital clock liquid crystal display panel 5 can be viewed, and a time adjustment operation button 9 is provided on the peripheral surface of the ring 1 so as to be operably exposed from the outside.

FIG. 4 shows a configuration in which the power source used is a battery.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a battery replacement cover 4 is provided on the back side of the hand of the ring 1, and a battery mounting portion 6 for loading a battery 7 is provided in the watch storage space 2 inside the battery replacement cover 4. A digital clock liquid crystal display panel 5, the battery 7, the electronic clock circuit 8, and a clock adjustment operation button 9.
Are connected to the circuit 10.

The power source used is a solar cell. As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 5, a solar cell panel window 11 is provided on the back side of the hand of the ring 1 and the solar cell panel window is provided. The panel surface 12a of the solar cell panel 12 is buried in the clock storage space 2 inside the 11 portion toward the outside of the window,
A battery 13 and an electronic clock circuit 8 are built in the clock storage space 2, and a digital clock liquid crystal display panel 5, the battery 13, the electronic clock circuit 8, and a clock adjustment operation button 9 are connected to a circuit 10. Consisting of

The shape of the ring 1 is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the inner peripheral surface 1 b and the outer peripheral surface 1 b
A form in which the shape viewed from the center axis direction of a is substantially the same perfect circle is possible.

In each of the above embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a transparent curved plate 14 is attached to the time display window 3 so as to be flush with the outer peripheral surface 1a of the ring 1,
A mode in which a transparent curved plate 15 that is flush with the outer peripheral surface 1a of the ring 1 is attached to the solar cell panel window 11 is possible. By doing so, the watch can be stored in the thickness of the ring-shaped ring 1 without any noticeability.

[0013]

The present invention is as described above. When the power source used is a battery, the battery replacement cover 4 of the ring 1 is used.
The battery can be replaced from. When the power source used is a solar battery, the solar battery panel 12 receives light from the solar battery panel window 11 and battery replacement is unnecessary. Then, the digital clock liquid crystal display panel 5 can be viewed from the time display window 3.

The solar cell panel 12, the digital watch liquid crystal display panel 5, and the batteries 7, 1
3, the electronic clock circuit 8, and the clock adjustment operation button 9 are connected to the circuit 10, and the electronic clock circuit 8 operates the digital clock liquid crystal display panel 5 by electricity of the solar cell panel 12 and the batteries 7 and 13. be able to. The time can be adjusted by pushing the time adjustment button 9.

In the past, a clock device was additionally attached to the outer peripheral surface of the ring on the back side of the hand, and the user had to watch the hand by turning the hand back to be noticed by others. The clock is stored in the clock storage space 2 provided in the thick part, and the time display window 3 is located on the palm side, so that it does not hinder the manual operation, and it is rude to the customer to watch the clock during the reception. However, according to the present invention, when viewing the time, the user sees the time display window 3 on the palm side, so that the customer can confirm the time without any notice. Also, in a form in which the shape of the ring 1 as viewed from the center axis direction of the inner peripheral surface 1b and the outer peripheral surface 1a thereof is substantially the same perfect circle, other people hardly notice that it is a watch.
