Patent number: 9317014Abstract: An orientable screw-in element including a cap and a device adjusting angular orientation of the cap relative to a watch middle part. The device adjusting angular orientation of the cap includes a first part including a flat friction surface, a second part integral with the cap including a second flat friction surface and a return mechanism configured to rotate the cap integrally with the first part. The cap and first part are axially mobile in relation to each other between a first position in which the first flat friction surface and second flat friction surface are each pressed against each other by the return mechanism such that the cap rotates integrally with the first part, and a second position in which the first flat friction surface and second flat friction surface are not in contact, the cap therefore free to rotate about the rotational axis of the screw-in element.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2013Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Omega SAInventors: Sebastien Briswalter, Daniel Knuchel

Patent number: 7967504Abstract: The push-button control device for a watch includes a push-button stem (28) inserted via a bottom end into an orifice (22, 23) of a watchcase and a button (29) mounted on a top part (28a) of the stem (28) outside the watchcase. The stem can slide axially between a rest position and an active position against a return member (35) to control at least one function of the watch. The control device is characterized in that the top part (28a) of the stem includes an annular groove delimited by two parallel shoulders (44, 46) perpendicular to the axis of the stem, and in that the button (29) includes an annular base (27) that is engaged in the groove so as to be held between the two shoulders (44, 46) in the axial direction and centred with some play by the bottom of the groove such that the button (29) is free to move off-centre relative to the axis of the stem (28) while remaining secured thereto.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2009Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Montres Rado S.A.Inventors: Philipp Tschumi, Sébastien Briswalter, Vincent Brunner
