    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a luminescent hand for a horological movement, preferably for a watch. The method includes providing a support comprising a light guide and structuring an emergent surface of the light guide so as to extract a maximum amount of light from the luminescent hand. The luminescent hand includes, over a lower face, a layer of luminescent material including one or more deposit(s) of fluorescent material, opposite a light source. The light source is laced at locations close to the axis of rotation or away from the axis of rotation but at a distance from the luminescent material. Thus, the light source is not placed on the luminescent hand.

    Abstract: A watch includes a control member which makes it possible to manage one or more electronic functions. The control member includes an optical guide, which extends between a proximal face and a distal face with respect to the middle. A light source is arranged such that it can illuminate the distal face through the optical guide, and an imaging device, including a photodetector, is arranged to capture an image of a portion of the finger of a user of the watch, when they touch the distal face. A processor generates commands based on signals generated by the photodetector, in the way of an optical mouse, for example, to make it possible for the user to browse in a menu displayed on a digital screen.
