    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an exterior part for a timepiece or piece of jewelry made of Murano glass, said method comprising the following steps: providing a material formed of glass rods (2), also referred to as glass tubes, arranged side by side; multi-cycle heat treatment to consolidate the material and form a blank; machining the blank to produce the exterior part, the method being characterised in that the heat treatment comprises a first cycle (a) consisting of heating the material from a temperature less than or equal to 100° C. to a temperature between 450 and 650° C. at a heating rate between 4 and 12° C./min in order to avoid the formation of air bubbles during the manufacturing of the blank. It also relates to the exterior part for a timepiece or piece of jewelry, in particular a watch case, having a structure with few or no air bubbles.

    摘要: A flexible jewelry cable includes a plurality of helical links. Each link has a body that extends helically about a central axis of the link. Each link includes a protrusion extending from an inner surface of the body at or near ends of the body. Each protrusion defines a through hole that is coaxially aligned with the body. The body defines a female recess on the inner surface of the body, each recess corresponding to one protrusion. The recesses are at or near the ends of the body. One recess of a first one of the links is configured to receive one protrusion of a second one of the links and align the hole of the received protrusion with the hole of one protrusion of the first link. The cable includes a string extending through the aligned holes of the protrusions of the links.

    摘要: A tracking device, including a communication interface encased in a encasement with a receptacle on two opposite sides of the encasement, a strap, including one or more thin elongated flexible sheets, links coupled to one side of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets, a fiber optic cable extending from a first end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets to a second end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets, a head connected to each end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets; wherein the heads are configured to fit into the receptacles and lock the strap in the receptacles thus preventing the strap from sliding out of the receptacles; and wherein the communication interface is configured to detect tampering with the strap by transmitting an optical signal through the fiber optic cable.

    摘要: A watch band is disclosed. The watch band maintains a substantially constant tension throughout changes in its length while worn by a user. Such changes in length may occur automatically to accommodate changes in the size and circumference of a user's wrist as they move their wrist normally. By maintaining a constant tension, the watch band also maintains a constant force on the user's wrist, and causes a watch body attached to the watch band to also maintain a constant force on the user's wrist. This can increase a user's comfort, since the watch will not get tighter or constrict their wrist as they straighten and bend their wrist. It can also help optimize operation of any sensors in the watch band or watch body that benefit from being held against the user's wrist with a constant force, such as some physiological sensors.

    摘要: Bracelet having adjustable length, which includes an adjusting link (6) with two parallel transverse articulation pins (5, 7), a first (5) being fixed and the second (7) being able to pivot with respect to the first (5) so as to reverse the respective positions of the pins and respectively create two, short and long, configurations, and an end link (8) having a first end (8i) pivoted on the second pin (7) and a second end (8j) designed to accept the fixing of the end of one bracelet strand, this second end (8j) having at least one first cutout (8e) designed to house a center link element (10a) of a link at the end of said bracelet strand, and a transverse second cutout (8c) arranged between the two ends (8i, 8j) of the end link (8) to house the first pin (5) of the adjusting link (6) in the short configuration.

    摘要: A wearing band including plural first zigzag springs and plural second zigzag springs. The plural first zigzag springs have axial directions in a length direction of a band body that is formed in a belt shape or a ring shape. The plural first zigzag springs are arrayed in the length direction and a width direction of the band body so as to form a section stretching and contracting in the length direction of the band body. The plural second zigzag springs have axial directions in the width direction of the band body and are arrayed in the length direction and the width direction of the band body so as to form a section stretching and contracting in the width direction of the band body. The plural second zigzag springs have a spring constant different to a spring constant of the plural first zigzag springs.
