| 20080267017 | NOVEL WATCHCASE ASSEMBLY - A watchcase is provided including a watchcase and an exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is aesthetically pleasing and engineeringly sound, encompassing the watchcase and protecting it from everyday wear and tear, of which it could be totally independent from the watchcase or could be attached to the watchcase in a supportive manner with connectors attaching it to the watchcase and connected with screws and separate supportive parts, reinforced from the exoskeleton mainframe to the top of the watchcase. The supports or connections could be engineered to evenly distribute any stress points, creating a ridged protective barrier for the watchcase. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20150103639 | COATING OF SURFACES INTENDED FOR HOROLOGY BY USING CATANIONIC COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING PHOSPHONIC MOLECULES AND AMINES - The present invention describes the use of amine molecules (N) and phosphonic compounds (P) for coating surfaces intended to be used in the field of horology. Since these two types of compounds are alkaline and acid in nature, they form pairs of ions that interact with all types of surfaces, whether these are composed of mineral materials such as glass, metal, non-oxidised materials (inter alia gold, rhodium and their alloys), or also polymeric materials. Taking advantage of the surprising complementary nature of these two types of compounds, the present inventors propose a composition and a coating process that enable functionalisation layers to be formed on any type of material, in particular those used in clock mechanisms. | 04-16-2015 |
