Abstract

Horlogical piece intended to be worn on the wrist including either a dipole antenna (4) or a slot antenna (30; 40) and a first case (5) comprising organs (7, 8, 10) for displaying the time, and a micro receiver (6). The horlogical piece further comprises a second case (2) intended to receive the first case (5) such that the exterior surface of the first case and the interior surface of the second case defined a mounting slot (25). The antenna (4; 30; 40) comprises a dielectric substrate (13; 33; 43), and at least one printed circuit conductive element (11, 12; 31; 41) fixed the substrate (13; 33; 43). In addition, the antenna (4; 30; 40) is located in the mounting slot (25) such that it is wound around the first case (5).
