    Abstract: The invention relates to a removable fitting frame (10) suitable for being removably mounted on an optical monitoring device, particularly a motorised monitoring device, for inspecting components (100, 102, 104, 106, 108). The fitting frame (10) comprises a rigid cage (10a), a component holder (22; 24; 26; 34; 40) mounted inside the rigid cage (10a), and at least one rotating part (44a, 44b) serving as an interface between the rigid cage (10a) and at least one rotating element (68a, 68b) of the monitoring device or between the rigid cage (10a) and an intermediate element (64a, 64b) mounted on the rotating element (68a, 68b) when the fitting frame (10) is mounted on the monitoring device, so as to use the torque generated by the monitoring device during the inspection of the component (100, 102, 104, 106, 108) in order to enable the rotation of said rigid cage (10a) and/or of said rotating part (44a, 44b) about an axis of rotation coaxial with the axis of rotation of said at least one rotating element (68a, 68b).

    Abstract: A testability method (500) for testing the operation of a thermoelectric element (110) of a thermoelectric watch (100) including the thermoelectric element (110), a power circuit supplied by primary storage elements (101) and secondary storage elements (102) so as to move at least one moveable element (190) or display information on an electro-optical display device. The testability method (500) includes steps of applying a heat source (540) to the thermoelectric element (110) so as to make it possible to electrically charge (550) or recharge (550) the secondary storage elements (102) in order to move at least one moveable element (190) or display information on an electro-optical display device, and thus check the functionality of the thermoelectric element (110).

    Abstract: A device (100) for testing a timepiece, including a case (1) receiving calottes (200) or watch heads (300), each calotte (200) enclosing a movement (400) and its projecting control member. The case (1) includes, removable and stackable on top of one another, a back, a frame (90) including at least one measuring support (500) forming a lower support for a calotte (200) or watch head (300), and an upper portion including a cover (10) with a locking element (16) for compressing an upper resilient element (80, 83) and holding each calotte (200) and/or each watch head (300). Each measuring support (500) is supported by a sole made of a resilient material (921) and carries an internal running sensor (510). Each movement (400) of the case (1) is phonically isolated from the other movements (400) by other resilient elements in the case (1).
