Device for securing a timepiece dial

1. A watch comprising:

a watch case formed of a back cover and of a middle part;

a timepiece movement disposed in a casing ring housed inside the watch case;

a dial disposed in contact with a top face of the casing ring and held by a fixing ring,

wherein the fixing ring has an S-shaped cross-section,

wherein an upper branch of the fixing ring is supported on the dial, and a lower branch of the fixing ring is supported on the casing ring, and

wherein the lower branch of the fixing ring is clamped between the middle part and the casing ring, so as to grip the dial between the upper branch of the fixing ring and the casing ring.

2. The watch according to claim 1 , wherein the casing ring includes a peripheral rim on which the dial is supported.

3. The watch according to claim 2 , wherein the upper branch and the lower branch of the fixing ring are connected to each other by an intermediate branch, wherein the height of the intermediate branch is lower than a sum of the thicknesses of the dial and of the peripheral rim of the casing ring.

4. The watch according to claim 3 , wherein the casing ring includes an outer peripheral shoulder on which the lower branch of the fixing ring is supported.

5. The watch according to claim 4 , wherein the middle part includes internally a surface complementary to the outer peripheral shoulder of the casing ring, wherein the lower branch of the fixing ring is clamped between the outer peripheral shoulder of the casing ring and the complementary surface of the middle part.

6. The watch according to claim 5 , wherein the middle part includes internally a peripheral groove which forms a recess, wherein the recess houses the upper branch of the fixing ring with some play and, wherein the recess is delimited by an outer edge supported on the dial.

7. The watch according to claim 4 , wherein the middle part includes internally a peripheral groove which forms a recess, wherein the recess houses the upper branch of the fixing ring with some play and, wherein the recess is delimited by an outer edge supported on the dial.

8. The watch according to claim 3 , wherein the middle part includes internally a peripheral groove which forms a recess, wherein the recess houses the upper branch of the fixing ring with some play and, wherein the recess is delimited by an outer edge supported on the dial.

9. The watch according to claim 2 , wherein the casing ring includes an outer peripheral shoulder on which the lower branch of the fixing ring is supported.

10. The watch according to claim 9 , wherein the middle part includes internally a surface complementary to the outer peripheral shoulder of the casing ring, wherein the lower branch of the fixing ring is clamped between the outer peripheral shoulder of the casing ring and the complementary surface of the middle part.

11. The watch according to claim 10 , wherein the middle part includes internally a peripheral groove which forms a recess, wherein the recess houses the upper branch of the fixing ring with some play and, wherein the recess is delimited by an outer edge supported on the dial.

12. The watch according to claim 9 , wherein the middle part includes internally a peripheral groove which forms a recess, wherein the recess houses the upper branch of the fixing ring with some play and, wherein the recess is delimited by an outer edge supported on the dial.

13. The watch according to claim 2 , wherein the middle part includes internally a peripheral groove which forms a recess, wherein the recess houses the upper branch of the fixing ring with some play and, wherein the recess is delimited by an outer edge supported on the dial.

14. The watch according to claim 1 , wherein the casing ring includes an outer peripheral shoulder on which the lower branch of the fixing ring is supported.

15. The watch according to claim 14 , wherein the middle part includes internally a surface complementary to the outer peripheral shoulder of the casing ring, wherein the lower branch of the fixing ring is clamped between the outer peripheral shoulder of the casing ring and the complementary surface of the middle part.

16. The watch according to claim 15 , wherein the middle part includes internally a peripheral groove which forms a recess, wherein the recess houses the upper branch of the fixing ring with some play and, wherein the recess is delimited by an outer edge supported on the dial.

17. The watch according to claim 14 , wherein the middle part includes internally a peripheral groove which forms a recess, wherein the recess houses the upper branch of the fixing ring with some play and, wherein the recess is delimited by an outer edge supported on the dial.

18. The watch according to claim 1 , wherein the middle part includes internally a peripheral groove which forms a recess, wherein the recess houses the upper branch of the fixing ring with some play and, wherein the recess is delimited by an outer edge supported on the dial.

19. The watch according to claim 1 , wherein two complementary circular grooves are arranged respectively at the base of the middle part and of the casing ring so that, when the casing ring, which houses the timepiece movement, is inserted into the watch case, the joining of the two circular grooves forms a groove in which a sealing gasket is placed.

20. The watch according to claim 1 , wherein the watch comprises means of positioning the dial on the casing ring.

21. The watch according to claim 20 , wherein the positioning means includes a guide lug positioned on the casing ring and a notch arranged in the dial, wherein the guide lug penetrates the notch so as to ensure the angular positioning of the dial.

22. The watch according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing ring is made in one-piece in a metallic material.

23. The watch according to claim 1 , wherein the dial is transparent or semi-transparent.
