  • Patent number: 12066791
    Abstract: A dial plate (1) for a timepiece is designed to be mounted on a connection ring (2), and has a first, lower surface (12) designed to be oriented towards the interior of a timepiece, an opposite second, upper surface (13) designed to be on view, and a third surface (11) connecting the first and second surfaces, forming a peripheral contour of the dial plate. The third, peripheral contour surface (11) includes a section which passes via a plane perpendicular to the second surface (13), this section having a first part (11a) extending from the first, lower surface (12) to the second, upper surface (13) of the dial plate (1), in a direction which is non-perpendicular to the first, lower surface (12).

  • Publication number: 20220121156
    Abstract: A method for producing an applique (1; 1?; 1?) for a timepiece dial, the applique (1; 1?; 1?) having at least two distinct portions (10, 20; 10?, 20?; 10?, 20?) made of a first material and a second material, respectively, the first and second materials being different, wherein the method includes a first phase (E1 to E4; E1? to E4?) involving forming at least a second blank (20a; 20a?) made of the second material within or at least partially within a first blank (10a; 10a?) made of the first material so as to obtain a blank (1a; 1a?) of the applique for a timepiece dial, then a second phase of machining (E5, E6; E5?, E6?) each of the two blanks (10a, 20a; 10a?, 20a?), so as to modify the shape and/or the surface state of each of the first and second blanks of the applique blank (1a; 1a?).
