Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dial for a timepiece comprising a support and a mother-of-pearl sheet, the mother-of-pearl sheet having a front face and a rear face opposite said support and on which a pattern has been printed.
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a dial, as well as to a timepiece comprising such a dial.
  • the pattern is formed by phosphorescent, fluorescent or luminescent light elements in order to form a visible image in the dark but invisible under normal illumination conditions.
  • the light elements can be applied to the rear face of the mother-of-pearl or on the substrate or be deposited in blind cavities dug in the nacre or in the substrate.
  • the recommended thickness for the mother-of-pearl leaf is 0.4 mm. This thickness is necessary to allow to dig the blind cavities.
  • the mother-of-pearl sheet must be of sufficient thickness so that the layer of phosphorescent pigments does not appear transparently through the mother-of-pearl in the light of day, in a condition of normal illumination. This thickness of mother of pearl gives the dial a significant thickness so that it is not possible to make ultra-thin dials for the manufacture of ultra-thin watches.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above by proposing a mother-of-pearl dial and its manufacturing method making it possible to produce an ultra-thin dial and a timepiece, in particular an ultra-thin watch, comprising such a dial, without harming the characteristic appearance of mother-of-pearl.
  • the invention relates to a dial for a timepiece comprising a support and a mother-of-pearl sheet, the mother-of-pearl sheet having a front face and a rear face facing said support and on which a pattern has been printed. .
  • the mother-of-pearl sheet has a thickness of between 50 ⁇ m and 300 ⁇ m so that the pattern printed on the rear face of the mother-of-pearl sheet appears transparently through the mother-of-pearl under normal conditions of illumination.
  • the dial 1 for a timepiece comprises a support 2 and a mother-of-pearl sheet 3.
  • the support 2 is metallic. It is for example made in a brass sheet.
  • the mother-of-pearl sheet has a front face 3a, corresponding to the side visible by the user, and a rear face 3b, positioned opposite the support 2 and on which a pattern 4 has been printed.
  • This metal ring 6 may have, for example, a thickness of the order of 700 ⁇ m to 900 ⁇ m. for example 800 ⁇ m.
  • the mother-of-pearl sheet has a thickness of between 50 ⁇ m and 300 ⁇ m so that the pattern printed on the rear face of the nacre appears transparently through the mother-of-pearl under normal conditions of illumination, especially in grazing light.
  • the nacre sheet has a thickness of between 50 ⁇ m and 250 ⁇ m, preferably between 100 ⁇ m and 200 ⁇ m, preferably between 120 ⁇ m and 180 ⁇ m, more preferably between 130 ⁇ m and 170 ⁇ m, and even more preferably between 140 ⁇ m and 160 ⁇ m.
  • the thickness of the mother-of-pearl sheet is about 150 ⁇ m.
  • Such a thickness of the mother-of-pearl sheet is a compromise found by the applicant, on the one hand to preserve the transparency necessary for the pattern printed on the back side of the mother-of-pearl to appear transparently through the mother-of-pearl under normal conditions. illumination, and secondly to avoid breaking the mother-of-pearl sheet, especially when printing the pattern, because of too great fragility.
  • the metal support 2 may for example have a thickness of the order of 200 microns to 250 microns, so that the dial has for example an ultra thin total thickness of 350 microns to 400 microns.
  • the printed pattern 4 can be any type of pattern.
  • the printed pattern is constituted by a set of lines of different widths, to create the appearance of a structure.
  • the pattern may represent the ribs and the structure of a leaf.
  • the nacre used is natural mother-of-pearl.
  • the nacre can be colored.
  • the method also comprises a step for assembling the metal ring 6 on the peripheral edge of the nacre sheet 3.
  • the support 2, the nacre sheet 3 and the ring 6 are cut and prepared to have the desired shape and dimensions of the dial, as well as the thicknesses according to the invention.
  • the holes 2 are also made in the support 2 and the mother-of-pearl sheet 3 for the passage of the axis of the switch.
  • a pattern 4 is printed on the rear face 3b of the mother-of-pearl sheet by means of an ink deposited according to a method chosen from the group comprising screen-printing, photolithography, and jet printing. 'ink. Screen printing is particularly preferred.
  • the thickness of the deposited ink layer is between 10 microns and 40 microns, preferably between 20 microns and 30 microns.
  • the ink used is standard.
  • the printing method is implemented to print a pattern consisting of a set of lines of different widths to create the appearance of a structure.
  • the method of the invention may comprise a step e) of tinting the mother-of-pearl before the step c) of printing the pattern.
  • the front face 3a of the mother-of-pearl sheet can be polished to obtain a front face of appearance smooth.
  • the mother-of-pearl sheet 3 is then protected by a sapphire crystal (not shown). Indexes or other decorative elements may be placed on the sapphire crystal or on the mother-of-pearl sheet 3.
  • the present invention also relates to a timepiece comprising a dial as described above.
  • the invention makes it possible to obtain an ultra thin, mother-of-pearl frame decorated with a motif, while preserving the iridescent nature of the mother-of-pearl and the smooth appearance of the mother-of-pearl on the front face. Through transparency through the mother of pearl, the pattern appears more discreet, thinner and more elegant.
  • the invention also makes it possible to obtain a timepiece, and in particular an ultra-thin watch, because of the use of an ultra-thin dial.
