Abstract
An electromechanical or digital watch includes a middle part that delimits with a glass a watch case. The glass includes an upper surface oriented upwardly, and a lower surface oriented towards the watch case. The watch also includes a dial made of an electrically non-conductive material. The dial includes a lower surface and an upper surface located opposite the watch case. Electrically conductive paths for the connection of one or more electronic components are structured on at least one of the lower or upper surfaces of the dial. The watch includes a flange that ensures, via the electrically conductive paths, the electrical connection between an electronic device arranged on the lower surface of the glass and the electronic components. The flange supports the dial or is made in one-piece with the dial.
