  • Patent number: 4884252
    Abstract: A timepiece (4), adapted to be worn on a part of the body, for example on the wrist, is provided with an antenna capable of capturing an electromagnetic field bearing radio-diffused messages. Measurements have shown that when close to the wrist the radial electric component (E.sub.r) and the azimuthal or tangential magnetic component (H.sub..phi.) were predominant. Consequently, in order to capture the first, a capacitive antenna the electrodes of which are parallel to the back cover (2) of the timepiece will be provided and, to capture the second, an inductive antenna including a winding the axis of which is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bracelet (3) will be provided.
