Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0710899A1] A wristwatch (1) has a normal analogue display (11,12) and a case (4,5,6) which houses an energy source (21), an electronic coding module (22), a vibrator (23) and a conventional timing circuit. The vibrator consists of an electric motor which vibrates a mass (24) through an elastic medium (25). Numerical (N) and control (M) keys in relief are located around the face of the watch and are used to set times and alarms through sensors (8). The watch conveys time information of all types to the wrist of the user by coded vibrations transmitted by the vibrator (23) and the mass (24).
