    Field of the invention
    The present invention relates to a reflective device suitable for being mounted in a watch.
    Prior art
    Today, to the extent that watch designs have become rather ordinary, it is necessary to find new solutions to meet the ever-changing needs of a large and demanding public. Since watches are both fashion accessories and powerful symbols of social status, it is necessary to develop a watch not only by considering the functional aspects but also by developing the aesthetic factors that are in fact of prime importance in a product.
    Until now, conventional watches in the market generally have an hour hand and a scale of hours represented by numbers, forming a display of hours, a minute hand and a minute scale represented by numbers, forming a display of minutes and / or digital displays that are directly visible.
    A large number of varied processes have however been used to try to improve the aesthetic appearance of watches. These inventions resulted in a division of watches into essentially two groups, namely analog watches and digital watches. Although some recent models have both analog and digital watch functions, many inventions failed to demonstrate significant innovation.
    In addition, it is known in the prior art to produce a watch comprising a reflective device, in particular a mirror, to give an impression of depth to a consumer.
    [0006] Patent Document No. JP 60 179 683 A discloses an alarm clock comprising a mirror fixed on the front of a fixing plate and a movement mechanism fixed to the back. In addition, a half-mirror is attached to the back of a front cover. The minute hand and the hour hand are arranged between the mirror and the half-mirror. By means of this structure, the light of a lamp is irradiated from an inner part to the space between the mirror and the half mirror to illuminate the needles and a time display scale. A part of this light is reflected on the half-mirror and on the mirror, and this reflection is repeated so that many images of the needles and the scale are visible in the state where they are superimposed in the direction in depth , and a sensation of depth is thus provided with respect to the watch to satisfy the tastes of the consumer. In this design, the user can see the minute hand and the hour hand directly. This system is however only suitable for clocks.
    Brief description of the invention
    The reflective device of the present invention, which is capable of reflecting the image of at least one element of a display of a watch, comprises at least one housing that is ready to be mounted in the watch and to the minus a reflective surface mounted in said housing so as to form a 45 degree angle with the base of the housing, the reflector device being mounted in the watch so that the reflected image appears above the reflector device when the image at least one display element is reflected by at least one reflecting surface arranged to project the image upwardly.
    The reflective device can be used in a large number of watches ranging from the simplest watches (analog watches) to complicated watches with calendars, energy saving functions or in digital watches. By means of the reflective device, only the image of the at least one display element is reflected and the reflected image appears outside the watch so that only the image of the display elements is easily visible. to the user.
