    Abstract: A watch includes a control member capable of managing a primary function of the watch, such as a rotating crown or a push-piece, as well as a magnetic ball that can be manually pivoted by the user about the centre thereof. A 3D magnetic sensor is arranged in the watch to detect the orientation of the magnetic field emitted by the magnetic ball, in addition to a processor for converting an electric signal generated by the magnetic sensor into an instruction for managing one or more other electronic functions of the watch. The magnetic ball is partially arranged inside the control member such that it is accessible to a user. The watch can further comprise a proximity sensor for detecting the axial position of the control member relative to the middle of the watch.

    Abstract: A disassembly bench is for unlocking and disassembling a first component and a second component of a watch with secured fastening including handling devices to transmit a relative disassembly movement between this first component and this second component. The bench also includes centrifuging devices and/or pneumatic or hydraulic devices for simultaneous application of a centrifugal force and/or an overpressure or an underpressure to such a watch to press into a position of free passage one or more slides arranged to immobilize this first component and this second component in a locked position. A watchmaking set includes such a disassembly bench and such a watch with secured fastening.

    Abstract: The invention concerns a watch comprising a case having a middle part and inside which is housed a movement. The watch also includes a control member intended to be actuated by a user and an internal transmission device provided with an actuator, able to move, in response to actuation of the control member, between a rest position and an active position in which it actuates a mechanism of the movement. In an original manner, the transmission device includes a closed cavity filled with a fluid and a thrust means kinematically connected to the control member and arranged to displace the fluid inside the cavity, the displacement of fluid inside the cavity causing displacement of the actuator.
