The electronic apparatus is provided with a long life dry battery (1), for example a lithium-iodine battery, of which the voltage is lowered from 2.8 volts to 1.5 volts by a series resistor (R1) for the supply of a conventional integrated circuit (3). There is provided a capacitor (5) which is continuously charged by the battery and suppresses the current peaks. The resistor is substantially higher than the internal resistance of the battery. It is thus possible to supply by means of a reduced size battery a small portable apparatus, such as a watch or a calculator, during more than 10 years for example. |

The electric solar watch winder includes a rotating support, a motor arranged to drive the rotating support, an accumulator arranged to power the motor, a solar cell arranged to charge the accumulator, an internal clock, an electronic means of controlling the motor, a light sensor connected to the electronic means, and a user control interface for the electronic means. The electronic means is arranged to be controlled by the user to be selectively placed in one or other of a plurality of operating modes, said plurality of operating modes including a first mode in which the rotating support is only driven when the winding mechanism is illuminated and a second mode in which a rotating support drive programme is started at a pre-selected time using the control interface. |

When a stem switch (8) is pulled out, a switch signal forming unit 9 outputs a signal (RS) indicating that effect, a control unit (13) receives the signal (RS) and starts clocking by a timer (13a). The control unit (13) receives a signal (HS) output from an electricity-generation detecting unit (12) within the clocking period, detects the electricity generating operation of an electricity generating unit (10), and outputs a signal (CS) indicating that effect. A narrow pulse forming unit (7) forms a narrow pulse having a width of such a degree that the motor (5) is not driven based on the signal (CS), and outputs the narrow pulse to a motor driving circuit (4). The motor driving circuit (4) flows a fine current through a coil (4a) which drives the motor (5) based on the narrow pulse. An external device detects a variation of the narrow pulse, thereby confirming whether electricity is generated. |

An expiration date system contains a time release mechanism for marking a predetermined interval of time in the range from six months to one year. The mechanism contains a vessel, in which there are brought together in any order a) water, b) a neutralizer, c) a source of oxygen, and d) a hydroquinone compound, such that the pH of the contents of the vessel is greater than 7.0 and the interval being marked begins when the last of items a), b), c) and d) is brought into the presence of the other items and the interval is a function of the pH and of the temperature. |

To provide a portable watch enabling component exchange around a crown when the screw lock capability is reduced. A case band is provided with a pipe-attachment hole opening toward an intracase-band plane and an extracase-band plane, and a pin-receiving groove opening toward this hole, the intracase-band plane, and the extracase-band plane. A winding stem pipe is provided with an intracase-band end section to be arranged inside of the case band including an engagement groove, an extracase-band end section to be arranged outside of the case band including a male screw section to be screwed together with a crown in a removal manner, and a pin-receiving groove opening toward the outer rim plane of the pipe and facing to a receiving groove. The pipe is playably inserted into the hole in a removable manner from the outside of the case band. A rotation-stop pin for preventing the pipe from rotating is placed across both receiving grooves. A pipe stopper for preventing the pipe from being disengaged is engaged to the engagement groove in a removable manner. With such a structure, the crown and the pipe can be separately exchanged. |

To provide a portable watch enabling components exchange around a crown while retaining the waterproof capability of a winding-stem-pipe attachment section when the screw lock capability is reduced. A winding stem pipe is screwed into a pipe-attachment hole of a case band for attachment in a removable manner. To an intracase-band end section of this winding stem pipe, provided is a screw section being a reverse screw to a first male screw section of the winding stem pipe screwed into the pipe-attachment hole. To this screw section, a clamp ring is screwed into in a removable manner. The case band is sandwiched by the ring and the extracase-band end section of the winding stem pipe screwed with the crown, and a waterproof gasket is sandwiched between the case band and the winding stem pipe. When the winding stem pipe receives the rotation forces in the loosening direction through the operation of the crown, the clamp ring is clamped to a greater degree, and the winding stem pipe does not loosen to a greater degree. As such, characteristically, there is no need for adhesive attachment of the winding stem pipe. |

A watch movement is a combination of a chronograph module and a motor module, the motor module comprising a third wheel, a first power take off composed of a toothed wheel fixed to the cannon-pinion and a second power take off composed of a pinion fixed to the seconds axle in the center, the chronograph module having a chronograph hand, a hand for the minute counter and a hand for the hour counter. This watch movement also has a third power take off composed of a wheel fixed to the third wheel, these three power take offs being accessible from the same side by the upper face of the motor module and the chronograph module being placed against said upper face of the motor module, and in that the hand of the chronograph, the hand of the minute counter and the hand of the hour counter are driven respectively and in independent manner by said second, third and first power take offs. |
