Abstract:
The invention relates to a method comprising a step (E0) of forming a body provided with a cavity on a face of said body, a treatment step (E2) consisting of forming, on said body, at least one reinforced adhesion area which is at least partially outside the cavity, and a step (E3) of depositing composite material. During the deposition step (E3), the cavity is filled and the reinforced adhesion area is covered with the composite material.
Abstract:
The present application describes a laser turning system (1) for producing a timepiece component, the system including a rotary spindle (3) for moving a bar of material (50) and a galvanometric scanner (12) capable of emitting a femtosecond laser beam scanning a generating profile of the component to be machined in the bar of material (50).
Abstract:
Method for producing a surface of revolution of a clock or watch component comprising a step of machining, with a femtosecond laser beam, a first surface of the clock or watch component so as to obtain a second surface, in particular so as to obtain a second surface whose roughness Ra is less than 100 nm, or less than 70 nm, and then a tribofinishing step applied to the second surface so as to obtain the surface of revolution.
Abstract:
A horology component (1) for a timepiece, including a first portion (10) and a second portion (20), the first portion (10) comprising one part that is at least partially transparent and at least partially superposed on top of the second portion (20), this second portion (20) taking the form of a massive portion comprising a material capable of emitting at least one emission light wave if excited by at least one excitation light wave, and the at least partially transparent part of the first portion allowing an emission light wave emitted by the second portion (20) to be transmitted at least partially toward the outside of the horology component so that the horology component exhibits at least a first appearance by day and at least one different second appearance by night where the first portion (10) is backlit by an emission light wave emitted by the second portion (20).
Abstract:
A process for decorating a dial includes a step (E1) of engraving a pattern in a pad-printing cliché with a femtosecond laser, then a step (E20) of transferring said pattern to the dial using the pad-printing cliché. The process can include surface structuring of the dial, then transferring the pattern to the dial at least partially superposed on surface-structuring obtained by the surface structuring, and can also include an intermediate coloring of the decorated or to be decorated surface in the surface structuring, using a different color from the color used in the transferring.
Abstract:
A mechanical connection device, in particular a mechanical connection device for a timepiece or a mechanical transmission device for a timepiece, includes a first part having a first area with at least a first micro-cavity; and a second part having a second area with at least a second micro-cavity, the first and second areas being in contact with one another in a mechanical connection configuration.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A process for decorating a timepiece component, wherein it comprises the following steps: deep engraving (E10) of a surface to be decorated of the timepiece component with a femtosecond laser; and surface structuring (E20) of said surface to be decorated of the timepiece component, these two decorations being at least partially superposed on each other.
