Electronically controlled watch

A time piece comprising:

• a casing in the form of a ring having end faces, said casing defining an opening at one or more localities, said casing having a defined annular groove therein featuring side walls;
• at least one annular display field being formed by at least one annular row of at least 60 light-emitting elements and an electronic printed circuit board in communication with said annular row of light-emitting elements, said light-emitting elements being receivable in said groove of said casing, said light-emitting elements being switchable in orbital fashion on said ring, wherein that by way of the state of illumination of individual light-emitting elements indicates at least the time parameters “hour” and “minute”;
• a transparent material casted and enclosing said electronic printed circuit board and light-emitting elements in said groove;
• a brightness sensor provided in said casing for adapting a brightness of said annular display field to ambient light in said casing, wherein illumination contrast being independent of ambient brightness;
• an electronic device for realizing display positions between two display points by anti-aliasing;
• an electronic position sensor for determining a direction of gravity, said electronic position sensor being accommodated in said casing;
• a wrist strap attachable and electronically connected to said casing;
• and
• a battery in the form of a rechargeable flexible accumulator integrated in a clasp of said wrist strap;
• wherein said electronic printed circuit board is provided on one of end face of said ring, and that the displays of hours and minutes are differentiated from one another by a means selected from the group consisting of illumination design, an illumination color, brightness, and an illumination distribution onto a plurality of adjoining light-emitting elements.

A time piece system comprising:

• a casing provided on an upper side of a ring having end faces, said casing defining an opening at one or more localities, and having a defined annular groove therein featuring side walls;
• at least one annular display field being formed by at least one annular row of at least 60 light-emitting elements and an electronic printed circuit board in communication with said annular row of light-emitting elements, said light-emitting elements being receivable in said groove of said casing, said light-emitting elements being switchable in orbital fashion on said ring, wherein that by way of a state of illumination of individual light-emitting elements indicates at least the time parameters “hour” and “minute” and “second”;
• a transparent material casted and enclosing said electronic printed circuit board and light-emitting elements in a watertight manner in said groove, said transparent material being a transparent plastics material, said transparent plastics material comprising color filters embedded therein, which allow transmission of a light spectrum of a particular said light-emitting element therebelow;
• at least one mask printed on and provided with time markings, said mask being positioned over said light-emitting elements;
• a wrist strap attachable and electronically connected to said casing;
• a battery in the form of a rechargeable flexible accumulator integrated in a clasp electronically connected to said wrist strap;
• and
• a disk-shaped element inserted into a center of said time piece and held there temporarily by permanent magnets which, by way of contacts on said casing exchanges data, is supplied with electric energy by way of said contacts on said casing and which accommodates said integrated electronic devices;
• wherein said electronic printed circuit board is provided on one end face of said ring, and that the displays of hours, minutes and seconds are differentiated from one another by an means selected from the group consisting of illumination design, an illumination color, brightness, and an illumination distribution onto a plurality of adjoining light-emitting elements.
