      MIDDLEBURY, Connecticut, 23 juin 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- TIMEX, un chef de file mondial de l'horlogerie depuis plus de 160 ans, s'est associé à SilMach, un pionnier français en matière de systèmes microélectromécaniques (MEMS), pour créer le premier mouvement horloger alimenté par les MEMS. Les moteurs (boîtes) et mouvements horloger MEMS, conjointement créés, sont les tout premiers à se servir de la nanotechnologie MEMS, grâce à la solution brevetée PowerMEMS de SilMach. La coentreprise sera établie à Besançon, la ville française où se regroupe le secteur de la micromécanique, ainsi que SilMach et Fralsen (l'usine de fabrication des pièces de mouvement de TIMEX). En alliant les 160 ans de savoir-faire en horlogerie de TIMEX avec les compétences novatrices de SilMach, la coentreprise est bien positionnée pour révolutionner l'industrie horlogère.

      TIMEX prévoit de lancer son premier mouvement horloger alimenté par les MEMS dans sa collection 2019.

      Pour M. Tobias Reiss-Schmidt, président du groupe et PDG de TIMEX, s'exprimant au sujet de ce nouveau partenariat révolutionnaire : « Grâce à son partenariat avec SilMach, Timex a réussi à concevoir une autre nouveauté dans l'industrie horlogère. Ensemble avec SilMach, nous révolutionnons l'industrie et nous préparons la voie pour la nanotechnologie. Avec cette nouveauté, nous prenons des mesures avant-gardistes qui amélioreront de manière spectaculaire la conception et la fonction en matière d'horlogerie de façons qui n'avaient auparavant pas été envisagées. »

      Pour M. Patrice Minotti, PDG de SilMach : « Cette alliance stratégique avec TIMEX apporte à SilMach un savoir-faire centenaire en horlogerie et des compétences complémentaires qui sont essentielles pour créer les solutions PowerMEMS adaptées pour l'industrie horlogère.

      À propos de TIMEX Group
      TIMEX Group conçoit, fabrique et commercialise des montres novatrices à l'échelle mondiale. Fondée en 1854, TIMEX Group est une société privée détenant de nombreuses marques, telles que Timex, Nautica, Guess, Versace ou Ferragamo. Elle compte plus de 4 000 employés partout dans le monde, et elle représente l'une des sociétés les plus importantes et verticalement intégrée dans le monde de l'horlogerie.

      A propos de SilMach
      En tant que pionnière dans le secteur des micromécaniques hybrides à base de silicone, SilMach conçoit, fabrique et intègre des solutions MEMS révolutionnaires pour la motorisation de systèmes mobiles et de capteurs de contrôle de santé des structures sans énergie. La société a son siège à Besançon (France).

      Le savoir-faire unique de SilMach en matière d'hybridation permet d'associer la technologie des MEMS à celle de la micromécanique conventionnelle. Fondée en 2003 par Patrice Minotti, la société a financé la maturation technologique de ses innovations révolutionnaires en réalisant des travaux exploratoires au profit des organisations institutionnelles, des centres de recherche et des importants comptes industriels du secteur de l'énergie, du transport, de l'aéronautique et de l'horlogerie. Elle dispose désormais d'un portefeuille de 20 familles de brevets dont 10 sont codétenues avec l'État français. Pour de plus amples renseignements, veuillez consulter : www.silmach.com
