Abstract: Method for treatment of timepiece components on a rack including the steps consisting in: equipping said rack with grippers made of the same shape memory alloy, and each arranged to return to a reference shape above a martensite finish temperature specific to said alloy; bringing said rack to a temperature higher than said martensite finish temperature; bringing said rack equipped with said grippers to a preparation temperature; loading said rack with a batch of said components to be treated; performing said treatment on said rack loaded with said batch; unloading said rack. Rack comprising grippers made of shape memory alloy, arranged to return to a reference shape above a martensite finish temperature specific to said alloy.

Abstract: A device for selection of a combination of motifs for a timepiece, including an inner disc, and a coaxial outer disc, the inner disc having a smaller diameter than the outer disc, the discs including angular sectors of the same size, at least two angular sectors of each disc bearing a motif on their periphery; a device for actuation permitting rotation of the inner disc, and a gear device for coupling the two discs according to a reduction ratio; a dial extending opposite the inner disc, the dial including an aperture to put a motif of the inner disc and a motif of the outer disc into correspondence, such that a complete rotation of the inner disc gives rise to a rotation of the outer disc by one angular sector, the size of the aperture being sufficiently large for each motif of the outer disc to be in correspondence successively with all the motifs of the inner disc, when the inner disc is rotated.

Abstract: A winding machine includes motorization means arranged to move a support, carrying at least one watch or one horological movement, along a path in a plane. The motorization means are arranged to move each support parallel to a starting position corresponding to the loading or unloading of a watch or of a movement on the support, the axes of a three-dimensional frame of reference specific to the support always remaining parallel to the oriented directions that the axes occupy in the starting position.

Abstract: A detector includes an elastic conductive blade having first and second ends and a central portion therebetween, with the blade being designed to be driven axially by a control rod to occupy three distinct positions between the pulled position and the end position of the rod: a pulled position, an end position, and an intermediate position. Two electrical contacts are designed to detect the end position and the pulled position of the rod, respectively. The blade is designed to pivot at its first end when the rod passes from the intermediate position to the pulled position, or vice versa. The blade is designed to undergo elastic deformation when the rod passes between the intermediate position and the end position so as to participate substantially in a restoring force of the rod toward the intermediate position when the axial activating force applied to the rod by a user is released.

Abstract: A method that is for manufacturing a timepiece provided with a personalized decoration, visible in particular when the timepiece is worn, includes constructing the timepiece and producing the personalized decoration on all or part of a body of the timepiece. Producing the personalized decoration includes selecting from a human-machine interface of an electronic device a single portion of a reference digital graphical representation, in particular of an ephemeral reference digital graphic representation, and applying a coating of decorative material on all or part of the body of the timepiece as a function of the descriptive characteristics of the selected single portion.

Abstract: A self-winding mechanical horological movement including a pivotally oscillating weight, wherein the oscillating weight is provided with a decorative disc mounted on the oscillating weight and pivotally driven by the weight. The disc is fastened to a support that includes a stem inserted into a hole provided in the rotational shaft of the weight. The stem and the hole include non-circular section cylindrical portions corresponding with one another, so that the support and the disc are pivotally driven by the shaft. The disc forms a decoration that covers the entire surface of the movement, without requiring technical complexities. The disc can be free to undergo an axial movement in relation to the weight, so that the disc may be removed from the weight when the horological movement is dismantled from a watch case.

Abstract: A device for controlling at least two electronic and/or mechanical functions of a portable object of small dimensions includes a control stem that is axially movable between at least a first and a second position. The control stem is provided at a first end with an actuation member, and is provided towards a second end with a position indexing plate arranged to cooperate with an elastic member in order to match each of the first and second positions of the control stem with one of the mechanical or electronic functions.
