1. A method for managing the use of the functions of a watch comprising:
a step of authenticating the wearer of the watch in order to authorize access to said functions, and
a step of controlling the identity of the wearer of the watch at a determined period by verifying the validity of a digital identification element determined from at least one biometric information element of the wearer of said watch in order to maintain access to said functions, and
a step of unlocking access to said functions of the watch when said access has been locked following a verification of the digital identification element showing its invalidity, said step of unlocking comprising the following sub-steps:
presentation of a graphic representation on an interface for broadcasting a visual piece of information of said watch;
selection within a limited time interval of a sequence of at least two identification portions comprised in said graphic representation aiming at identifying said wearer, said sequence corresponding to an identification code of the wearer, said limited time interval being defined by a countdown that begins as soon as the graphic representation is presented on the interface, and
validation of the selected sequence,

wherein the selection sub-step includes visualizing the at least two identification portions as the identifications portions are not visible in the graphic representation on the interface for broadcasting of the watch, the at least two identification portions being made visible by the user enlarging a first area of interest, the first area of interest being a visible portion of the graphic representation prior to the enlarging, in order for the at least two identification portions to be visible within the first area of interest after the enlarging and then the user must select the at least two identification portions in said sequence corresponding to an identification code of the wearer after the at least two identification portions are made visible.
