Publication number: 20220390897Abstract: A fastening method is for fastening at least one display element of a watch using a fastening device. Indeed, the at least one display element is fastened thanks to the fastening method via the fastening device. For this, it is necessary to provide the at least one display element, at least one movement, and at least one split ring, then to deform the at least one split ring so as to adapt to the at least one display element before fastening the at least one split ring with the at least one display element to the at least one movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2020Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: ETA SA Manufacture Horlogere SuisseInventors: Laurent MOUCHE, Pascal LAGORGETTE, Raphaël BALMER

Patent number: 10998455Abstract: A light sensor includes first and second neighboring photodiodes that are separated from each other by a space. A light-absorbing material is positioned at a location which is vertically above the space between the neighboring photodiodes. A first multilayer interference filter includes a central portion located vertically above the first photodiode and a peripheral portion that at least partly extends to rest on top of and in contact with the light-absorbing material.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2019Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: STMicroelectronics (Grenoble 2) SASInventors: Olivier Le-Briz, Laurent Mouche

Publication number: 20210096514Abstract: A removable case back of an electronic or electromechanical watch case. The case back includes an internal electronic device provided with functions to allow the wireless charging or recharging of a power source. The case back includes two multi-function sub-assemblies separate from the electronic device. A first multi-function sub-assembly includes a buzzer, an inductive coil on or integrated in a printed circuit board, the inductive coil being covered by a magnetic shield on an inner side of the watch case. A second multi-function sub-assembly on the first multi-function sub-assembly includes an enclosure structure for accommodating the power source, such as a battery or an accumulator.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2020Publication date: April 1, 2021Applicant: ETA SA Manufacture Horlogere SuisseInventors: Marc Schenk, Laurent Mouche

Patent number: 10859979Abstract: A skeleton watch includes a case middle which defines an interior space, a crystal and a back cover fixed to the case middle on either side of the middle to enclose the interior space, and a movement. The movement includes an openworked frame having a front face and a back face, the frame including an outer perimeter formed by two side positions, a top bar that connects between upper ends of the side posts, and a lower platform connected to lower ends of the side posts. The frame includes a central island positioned within the outer perimeter. The movement also includes a minute hand and an hour hand mounted on a central arbor integral with the frame. The movement also includes a motor having an electromagnet that extends outside of the outer perimeter of the frame in a radial direction from the central arbor.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: The Swatch Group Research and Development LtdInventors: Silvano Bonadei, Damien Goyet, Vittorio Zanesco, Laurent Mouche
