Abstract

An isothermal clock device for mechanical and/or functional components of a watch, the device being provided with a bracelet and a casing including an enclosure wherein a case of said watch is capable of being arranged and a reversible fastening device fastening the case of a watch in the enclosure of the casing by keeping it away from the set of elements of the casing defining this enclosure, the fastening device including at least two connecting members each connected to an attachment area of the case from at least one telescopic bar.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A Dewar device for mechanical and/or functional components of a watch, comprising:
a bracelet;
a casing including an enclosure; and
a middle on which said bracelet is fastened, wherein
a case of said watch is configured to be arranged in the enclosure,
a reversible fastening device is configured to fasten said case of said watch in said enclosure of the casing by keeping the case of said watch away from a set of elements of the casing defining said enclosure,
said set of elements of the casing comprises a crystal, an inner peripheral wall and a back of said casing,
a crystal of the case of a watch is disposed opposite to the crystal of the casing,
said fastening device includes at least two connecting members each connected to an attachment area of said case from at least one telescopic bar, and
each connecting member is arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the casing opposite to the attachment area.

2. The Dewar device according to claim 1 , wherein each member comprises a contact area configured to cooperate with a first pointed end of each bar.

3. The Dewar device according to claim 1 , wherein each bar comprises a second end configured to be connected to the attachment area.

4. The Dewar device according to claim 1 , wherein each bar comprises a first portion comprising a first end of the bar and a second portion comprising a second end of said bar, the first and second portions being connected to each other by a resilient member.

5. The Dewar device according to claim 4 , wherein the resilient member comprises a spring.

6. The Dewar device according to claim 1 , wherein each bar comprises a first portion which is configured to slide in a housing defined in a second portion.

7. The Dewar device according to claim 1 , wherein each bar comprises a first portion comprising a first end of the bar and a second portion comprising a second end of said bar, the first and second portions being connected to each other by a resilient member, said resilient member being comprised in a housing defined in the second portion.

8. The Dewar device according to claim 7 , wherein the resilient member is a spring.

9. The Dewar device according to claim 1 , wherein each member comprises a contact area configured to cooperate with a first pointed end of each bar, the contact area being made of a material having a hardness comprised between 7 and 10 on the Mohs scale.

10. The Dewar device according to claim 1 , wherein each member comprises a contact area configured to cooperate with a first pointed end of each bar, the contact area being made of a material having a Vickers hardness number comprised between 1200 and 3500 kg f ·mm −2 .

11. The Dewar device according to claim 1 , wherein said fastening device carries out a reversible fastening of the case of a watch to a back of the casing.

12. The Dewar device according to claim 1 , wherein said enclosure is under vacuum or almost under vacuum.

13. The Dewar device according to claim 1 , wherein the casing comprises a crystal whose surface is greater than a surface of a crystal of the case of a watch.

14. The Dewar device according to claim 1 , wherein a second end of each bar is connected to a horn of an attachment area.

15. The Dewar device according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening device keeps the case completely separated from the set of elements of the casing.

16. A Dewar device for mechanical and/or functional components of a watch, comprising:
a casing including a set of elements forming an enclosure;
a middle on which a bracelet of the watch is fastened;
a watch case configured to be arranged in the enclosure; and
a reversible fastening device configured to fasten the watch case in the enclosure of the casing such that the watch case does not contact the casing, wherein
the set of elements of the casing comprises a crystal, an inner peripheral wall and a back of the casing,
a crystal of the watch case is disposed opposite to the crystal of the casing, and
connecting members of the fastening device are arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the casing opposite to an attachment area to which at least two connecting members are each connected.
