Abstract
A striking or musical watch with an acoustic waveguide arrangement. The striking or musical watch (1) includes an at least partially flexible waveguide (2) secured to a fixed part (8) inside the watch to guide the acoustic waves generated by a first portion (2′) of the at least partially flexible waveguide towards a radiating element. The radiating element can include a watch crystal (3) connected to a bezel (5) and a membrane (4) for connecting the bezel to a middle part (6) of a watch case. The flexible waveguide is configured to change the direction of acoustic vibration from the first portion to the radiating element.
