Abstract
A portable wireless telephone including a main unit of small volume to which an antenna, an earpiece and a microphone are connected. The means for composing a number to be called include a display system (4, 5, 13) in which the digits making up the number to be called can be displayed, one after another, by the manipulation of a crown (10). Such crown can be rotated (60) then pressed (61) in order respectively to choose a digit then confirm it and continuing thus until said number is entirely composed. The telephone can be advantageously combined with a timepiece.
