Abstract
The present invention concerns an alarm and geolocation system for analogue watches, comprising an alarm device which includes a short range communications module, a processor and an energy storage device, housed in a supporting and containing element which can be fixed permanently to the watch, and a reference device with a short range communications module configured to communicate with the short range communications module of the alarm device, wherein the processor is programmed to calculate, based on at least one parameter of a signal sent by the short range module of the alarm device, the distance (D) between the alarm device and the reference device, and to switch the state of the alarm device as a function of said distance (D).

-15. (canceled)
An alarm and geolocation system for watches, in particular for analogue watches, comprising:
- an alarm device attachable to a wristwatch, said alarm device comprising at least:
- a) a short range communications module provided with antenna;
- b) a processor connected to the short range communications module;
- c) an energy storage device;
- d) at least one supporting and containing element configured to be fixed permanently to the wristwatch, said supporting and containing element being chosen from at least a crown (CR) or a pin (P), clasp (CH) or link (M) of a bracelet;
- wherein said short range communications module, said processor and said energy storage device are housed in said at least one supporting and containing element;
- and
- a reference device comprising a short range communications module configured to exchange signals and/or data with the short range communications module of the alarm device, said reference device being of wearable and/or portable type;
- wherein the short range communications module of the reference device is configured to send a control signal containing at least a unique identifier of the alarm device, wherein the short range communications module of the alarm device is configured to receive, continuously or at predetermined intervals of time, said control signal and wherein the processor is programmed to analyse said signal and to calculate, based on at least one parameter of said signal, the distance (D) between the alarm device, hence the wristwatch to which it is attached, and the reference device, the processor being further programmed to switch the state of the alarm device from a quiet state, maintained when the distance (D) calculated between said alarm device and the reference device is below a predetermined threshold (DTH), to an alarm or pre-alarm state, when said distance (D) is above the predetermined threshold (DTH).
An alarm device attachable to a wristwatch, in particular to an analogue wristwatch, said alarm device comprising at least:
- a) a short range communications module provided with antenna;
- b) a processor connected to the short range communications module;
- c) an energy storage device;
- d) at least one supporting and containing element configured to be permanently fixed to the wristwatch,
- where the supporting and containing element is chosen from at least a crown (CR) or a pin (P), clasp (CH) or link (M) of a bracelet.
