Abstract

A watch having a display which displays an output from a mechanism, the display and mechanism encased in a watchcase which includes a recess for releasably receiving an applicator is disclosed. A first end of the applicator features an application member with an amount of cosmetic pre-absorbed to the application member. Insertion of the applicator closes an electric circuit having a voltage potential for displaying the output. Removal of the applicator opens the electric circuit, removing the output from the display and revealing a mirror which is useful for application of the cosmetic.

Claims

1. A watch comprising:

a display for displaying an output from a mechanism, the display and mechanism enclosed in a watchcase;

a recess in the watchcase; and

an applicator releasably received into the recess.

2. The watch of claim 1, wherein a first end of the applicator comprises an application member.

3. he watch of claim 2, wherein the application member has a preabsorbed cosmetic.

4. The watch of claim 1, wherein insertion of the applicator into the recess closes electrical contacts inside the mechanism allowing the display to display the output.

5. The watch of claim 1, wherein the display further comprises a mirror and a liquid crystal display.

6. The watch of claim 5, wherein removal of the applicator from the recess opens electrical contacts inside the mechanism, preventing the output from displaying on the display, thereby exposing the mirror.

7. The watch of claim 1, wherein a second end of the applicator extends slightly from the watchcase.

8. The watch of claim 7, wherein the second end has a gripping element for easy removal from the recess.

9. The watch of claim 1, wherein the recess comprises a pliable ring for providing a flush fit around the applicator.

10. The watch of claim 1, wherein the recess comprises a locking means for securing the applicator when inserted.

14. The watch of claim 1, wherein a second end of the applicator extends slightly from the watchcase.

15. The watch of claim 14, wherein the second end has a gripping element for easy removal from the recess.

11. A watch comprising:

a display having a mirror and a liquid crystal display for displaying an output from a mechanism, the display and mechanism enclosed in a watchcase;

a recess in the watchcase; and

an applicator releasably received into the recess having a first end comprising an application member including a preabsorbed cosmetic.

12. The watch of claim 11, wherein insertion of the applicator into the recess closes electrical contacts inside the mechanism allowing the display to display the output.

13. The watch of claim 11, wherein removal of the applicator from the recess opens electrical contacts inside the mechanism, preventing the output from displaying on the display, thereby exposing the mirror.

16. The watch of claim 11, wherein the recess comprises a pliable ring for providing a flush fit around the applicator.

17. The watch of claim 11, wherein the recess comprises a locking means for securing the applicator when inserted.

18. A watch comprising:

a display having a mirror and a liquid crystal display for displaying an output from a mechanism, the display and mechanism enclosed in a watchcase;

a recess in the watchcase including a pliable ring;

an applicator releasably received into the recess having a first end comprising an application member including a preabsorbed cosmetic and a second end comprising a gripping element for easy removal from the recess, wherein the second end extends slightly from the watchcase; and

a locking means for securing the applicator in the recess when inserted;

wherein insertion of the applicator into the recess closes electrical contacts inside the mechanism allowing the display to display the output;

removal of the applicator from the recess opens electrical contacts inside the mechanism, preventing the output from displaying on the display, thereby exposing the mirror; and

the pliable ring provides a flush fit around the applicator.
