    Abstract: A timepiece includes a case forming an electrical mass, the case being closed by a back and a protective glass, a tactile control device connected to an electronic unit configured to execute at least one predetermined function of the timepiece, the tactile control device includes at least one capacitive sensor having a first armature formed by a transparent conductive electrode, formed at least on a portion of an internal face of the protective glass, and a second armature formed selectively by the positioning of the finger of the wearer of said timepiece on an external face of the protective glass. The transparent conductive electrode is electrically connected to the electronic unit by a first electrical conductor. The timepiece includes an anti-fog device of the protective glass formed in part by the transparent conductive electrode and by a second electrical conductor, the electronic unit includes an electric current management module.

    Abstract: A watch (2) includes: a case (4); a movement (6) incorporated in the case; a lower glass (10) forming at least in part the back (12); a decorative structure (16) visible axially from the side of the front face (20) of the watch and comprising at least one transparent and/or translucent portion (16a) which is visible axially through the lower glass; a light source (26): and a mirror (28). The light source emit light towards the mirror arranged below the light source and below a rear surface (18) of the decorative structure, the mirror receiving most of the light energy emitted by the light source and reflecting the light from the light source so that the reflected light is incident on the rear surface of the decorative structure in at least one area (18a) defined by the at least one transparent and/or translucent portion.

    Abstract: An intermittent display mechanism for a timepiece includes a mobile component in motion, an energy source for supplying a light emission source coupled with a light guide, and light emission control means. The light emission control means includes a flexible body bearing a flexible piezoelectric film or coating coated in an electrically insulating shell and attached to a fixed structure and including a distal zone overhanging with respect to the structure, arranged to interfere mechanically, at periodic or random times, with the mobile component during the travel thereof and move away from the rest position thereof before starting vibration of the flexible body and the piezoelectric film or coating, which constitutes an energy source, to convert the mechanical energy supplied by the mobile component into electrical energy supplied to the light emission source.
