Abstract: A watch including a gasket (18) arranged at the periphery of the glass (14), an intermediate portion (20) laterally surrounding the analogue display and defining a radial surface forming an axial stop for the glass, a solar cell (30) extending at least mostly between the lower level of the dial and the glass and being arranged behind the intermediate portion, which is formed at least partially by a translucent or transparent material and configured to make it possible for the incident light to propagate in the intermediate portion and to subsequently reach the solar cell. The gasket is also formed at least mostly by a translucent or transparent material and it forms with the intermediate portion axially a continuous medium. In variants, the gasket is arranged axially adjacent to the intermediate portion or it is axially separated from the intermediate portion by a translucent or transparent intermediate medium.

Abstract: A method for calibrating an electronic temperature sensor connected to a mobile device. The device includes a microprocessor and memory linked to the microprocessor, to store an application coupled to a data entry interface. The temperature sensor is initially placed in a plurality of predetermined environments, where it provides an initial raw temperature value measured in each environment, and, for each of these environments, a predetermined initial temperature value corresponding to the actual temperature of this environment is entered beforehand directly into the application via the interface. The method includes in computing a calibration curve according to each predetermined initial temperature value entered from the application and according to each corresponding initial raw temperature value provided by the temperature sensor, storing in the device or in the sensor, calibration parameters determined from the calibration curve, and correcting by the calibration parameters each raw temperature value measured by the sensor.
