  • this case 2 is formed in particular by the combination of its functional elements 15 with the box 12 of watch 10 in order to achieve suitable thermal insulation for these mechanical and/or functional components 5.
  • These functional elements 15 of the housing 2 forming this said enclosure 4 comprise a glass 6, an interior peripheral wall 17 of a middle part 9a and a bottom 9b of this case 2.
  • the box 12 of watch 10 is arranged in such an enclosure 4 while being kept distant or at a distance from the functional elements of the case 2 forming this said enclosure 4. It will be noted that this interior peripheral wall 17 of the middle part 9a is also that of said enclosure 4.
  • the housing 2 comprises a dynamic control system 3 of the temperature of its enclosure 4.
  • a system 3 participates in regulating the temperature prevailing in this enclosure 4.
  • this system 3 comprises the ice 6 of the housing 2, which is a transparent glass 6 with variable opacity, also more simply called glass 6 with variable opacity, and a control unit 8 connected to this glass 6 which is configured to control/control this opacity.
  • control unit 8 comprises an electronic circuit comprising a controller provided with hardware resources in particular with at least one processor cooperating with memory elements as well as data and control address buses, and also an energy accumulator otherwise called a battery.
  • This control unit 8 includes in its memory elements an algorithm for managing the temperature in the enclosure 4 of the housing 2. Such an algorithm is executed by the processor of this control unit 8 taking into account in particular data coming from sensors of events included in the control unit 8 in order to ensure the management of the temperature in the enclosure 4 of the box 2. It will be noted that such data can for example provide information relating to events detected by these sensors, said events being likely to contribute/result in/generate a variation in the temperature in enclosure 4 of housing 2.
  • These events may include in a non-limiting and non-exhaustive manner: the detection of a particular level of brightness in the environment of the isothermal device 1, in particular solar radiation, and the detection of a temperature variation in the enclosure 4 by relation to a configurable reference temperature, etc.
  • each event sensor is part of the control unit 8 and is connected to the controller of this unit 8.
  • the temperature sensor is arranged in enclosure 4 of the box 2.
  • the brightness sensor it is arranged in the housing 2 and in particular in at least one of the functional elements 15 of this housing 2 so as to be exposed to the light coming from the external environment of the isothermal device 1 and therefore from the housing 2.

  • the control unit 8 is connected/connected from a connecting element 14 to the glass 6 of the housing 2.
  • a glass 6 is formed of a substrate and a transmittance variation element 7 of this substrate, and by extension the glass 6.
  • a transmittance variation element 7 is for example an electrochromic element, in particular a liquid crystal electrochromic element.
  • this transmittance is the quantity of energy (thermal or light radiation) that the glass 6 of the box 2 is capable of transmitting in relation to the flow of incident solar radiation.
  • a substrate is made of a material such as glass such as mineral glass, optical ceramic, acrylic glass, or even sapphire glass.
  • Such a transmittance variation element 7, when it is an electrochromic element, comprises a layer of an electrochromic material capable of reversibly and simultaneously inserting cations and electrons and whose oxidation states corresponding to the inserted and deinserted states are of distinct coloring, one of the states having a higher light transmission than the other.
  • the insertion or deinsertion reaction is controlled by an application of an electrical voltage produced by the control unit 8.
  • the electrochromic material usually based on tungsten oxide, must thus be brought into contact with a source of electrons such as a transparent electroconductive layer and a source of cations such as an ionic conductive electrolyte.
  • the transmittance variation element 7 is arranged/applied/printed/deposited on a lower surface of the substrate, then forming the internal face 16 of this glass 6.
  • This variation element of transmittance 7 is formed in a manner known per se, of a stack of functional layers. More precisely when it is a liquid crystal electrochromic element, it comprises a film placed between first and second electroconductive layers and base of a polymeric material in which droplets of liquid crystals, in particular nematic ones with positive dielectric anisotropy, are dispersed. The liquid crystals, when the film is put under tension, orient themselves along a preferred axis, and configure the glass 6 in a first state where the transmittance of this glass 6 is maximum. When the film is turned off, in the absence of alignment of the crystals, the film becomes diffusing and absorbing, and the glass 6 is then configured in a second state where its transmittance is minimal or even zero.
  • the stack of functional layers forming the transmittance variation element 7 can comprise an additional layer of thermoplastic polymer such as polyvinyl butyral known by the acronym PVB which, preferably, contains ultraviolet filtering agents.
  • PVB polyvinyl butyral
  • Such a layer can be arranged in the first variant just after the first electroconductive layer, and in the second variant between the glass layer and the first electroconductive layer.
  • the control unit 8 by controlling/piloting the variation of an electrical voltage applied to the first and second electroconductive layers of the transmittance variation element 7, makes it possible to vary the transmittance property of the glass 6 of the housing 2 between the first and second transmittance states.
  • the first state here relates to a maximum transmittance of this glass 6 during which state, this glass 6 of the box 2 is then transparent thus allowing solar radiation to penetrate into the enclosure 4 of the latter.
  • the second state relates to a minimal or even zero transmittance of the ice 6, during which state, the ice 6 is then completely or partially opaque preventing/blocking the penetration of solar radiation, at least 99 percent, into this state. enclosure 4. In other words, during this second state, solar radiation is no longer transmitted by the glass 6 in enclosure 4 of housing 2.
  • the watch box 12 10 is arranged in the case 2 of this isothermal device 1 while being distant or kept at a distance 19 or even at a distance 19 from the interior peripheral wall 17 of the enclosure 4 and this, thanks to the reversible fixing device 13 of the housing 2.
