This quartz crystal electronic watch eliminates watch parts formerly highly vulnerable to shock, but the quartz crystal assembly itself has high vulnerability to shock. This inventor determined that the quartz crystals resistance to shock is relatively high in all but one of its directions, and the cushioning effect of the watch's external parts is relatively high in all but one of the directions, and he produced an overall highly shock-resistant watch by orienting the quartz crystal's direction...

A watch is offered in which the life of the threadedly engaged portion between the stem pipe and the crown can be improved and which has an internal thread capable of being machined relative to the crown easily and accurately. The watch is based on a watch in which the crown is threadedly locked to a stem pipe mounted to a barrel. The stem pipe has a barrel outside protruding portion provided with an external thread. The crown has a crown shaft and a crown ring having an internal thread removabl...

A watch housing has a mechanism carrier, an upper part and a base part which are installed on the mechanism carrier by screws which directly connect the upper part and the base part. Furthermore, sealing members are provided in order to make the watch housing water-tight. The design freedom for the watch housing is improved in advantageous manner by designing the mechanism carrier as a support element and also the upper and base parts as shells.

A watch has a controller and display held within a watch casing by filler. The watch can be assembled by positioning the controller and display within the watch casing and then adding the filler, which hardens to hold the controller and display in place and provide shock protection. The watch requires no special brackets or the like to hold the display and controller. As a result, it offers great flexibility in the design and shape of the watch casing and in the placement of control buttons. The...

From various traditional medical teachings, it is known that humans have a life rhythm which depends upon the time. As one example, there are the traditional Indian medical teachings of the "Ayurveda". In the present invention, in order to display which time period of the Ayurveda corresponds to the present time, a character panel of a watch has been separated according to color into three wedge-shaped regions. The respective color-separated regions correspond to the Vata (V), the Kapha (K), and...

Pocket watch comprising a middle, a movement accommodated in the middle, a crystal, a cover for protecting the crystal, a stem for setting the time of the movement, and a device for locking the cover. The locking device can be released by manipulating the stem to open the cover. A water-tight enclosure enables the movement to be accommodated and protected. The water-tight enclosure encloses the middle. The locking device is outside the water-tight enclosure. The stem passes through the water-tig...

A golfer's watch mechanism includes a first mechanical counter for counting a number of strokes of a golf hole. The first mechanical counter has a mechanical display and a mechanical drive for advancing the count and for positioning the mechanical display based on the count. A second mechanical counter counts a total number of strokes played for a series of golf holes. The second mechanical counter includes a second counter mechanical display and a second counter mechanical drive for positioning...

An electronic watch comprising: a watch case with a containing concavity which is formed in a peripheral portion thereof; an antenna contained in the containing concavity; a covering member mounted to the containing concavity, to cover the antenna; and a casing member provided with a supporting member which is attached to a periphery of the watch case to hold the covering member, covering at least a portion of the covering member. The supporting member undertakes a portion of the impact caused b...

An electronic watch which can be small-sized even with an additional mechanism such as a calendar mechanism. In the electronic watch, a rectangular piezoelectric oscillator 32 acting as a piezoelectric actuator is forced at its end face to contact with a beam portion 35, which is mounted on a date ring 31 acting as a second indication member, thereby to drive the date ring 31 directly.
