A watch dial which is made by laminating a cut section of a Tagua nut to a watch dial base plate. The cut section of the Tagua nut has a unique grain pattern which can be enhanced by dying or staining. A wide variety of grain patterns and color combinations can be achieved to provide one-of-a-kind watch dials.

There is provided a watchband connected to a watch main body. The watchband has a first block, a second block, a connecting pin, an end piece, and a fixing pin. The first block has a first bridge with a first pinhole, and a clamping member disposed in the first pinhole. The second block has a holder that is disposed parallel to the first bridge and has a blind hole, and a second bridge having a second pinhole. The connecting pin extends from the blind hole to the first pinhole and is held with a...

A timepiece is included in a marble which is rotatably mounted on a watchcase. The marble is easily removed from the watchcase to be usable in all games that require a marble. The timepiece may be a liquid crystal diode (LCD) movement which is encompassed between two half sections of the marble which are threadingly secured together. The marble is placed in a recess on the face of the watchcase and secured in place by a removably mounted semi-spherical shaped lens. The lens has an opening throug...

In an electronic watch including a so-called automatic winding dynamo, structures of parts themselves and layout of the parts are improved to achieve a reduction in thickness of the electronic watch. Bearing portions for a rotational shaft (211) of a dynamo rotor (21) are made up of hole jewels (212, 214) and ring-shaped caps (213, 215). The cap (215) covers, from the outer side, one end surface (216) of the hole jewel (214) which locates on the side facing a dynamo rotor (21), and defines a lub...

The links of the watch-band have a middle bar, two outer extensions adjoining on the one side thereof and two inner extensions on the opposite side. The extensions are provided with bores. To join together two links, a rod is led through the bores of the outer extensions of a first link and the bores of the inner extensions of a second link. Located between the inner extensions and the inner and outer extensions are rubber rings, which hold the rod. Thus, the bores in the extensions do not have ...

A watch casing capable of containing an object, such as a cigar cutter, the watch casing comprising a base and a lid moveably connected to the base, where the base or the lid comprises a recess capable of holding the object. The watch face or dial is situated on the lid, which is attached to the base by a hinge, and which lid moves between and open and a closed position. In the folded position, the lid on the watch casing conceals all or most of the object contained within the watch casing, bene...

An electronic watch is provided with an electric power generator for generating electric energy by external energy, electric power charger for charging the electric energy generated by the electric power generator, a watch driving system comprising a watch driving circuit and a time display sub-system, operated by electric energy supplied by the electric power charger, a stored electric power detector for detecting an amount of electric energy charged in the electric power charger, and a control...

The reference voltage of the rotation detecting comparator is set to the constant voltage circuit used in another circuit. However, because the constant voltage circuit used in another circuit has a constant voltage value suitable for its original purpose, a voltage is inputted to the rotation detecting comparator from an arbitrary location of a resistant element which is connected in series to a coil that affects a value of the rotation VRS and the non-rotation VRS. With this structure, a volta...

A multifunctional electronic watch of the present invention displays data measured by a built-in atmospheric pressure sensor by means of a small atmospheric pressure pointer and an atmospheric pressure pointer. It is also capable of displaying a differential between the present atmospheric pressure and an atmospheric pressure three hours before by means of an atmospheric pressure tendency pointer. A dial ring attached around a clockface of the watch is formed with an atmospheric pressure scale, ...
