Claim One:
1. A timepiece with touch-type reading and control of time data including: a case formed of a back cover and a middle part closed by a glass arranged above a dial with analogue display by means of hands, said glass being surrounded by a fixed bezel mounted on the middle part including a crown-push-button; a timekeeping circuit; at least one stepping motor for driving each hand individually; a non-acoustic vibration generator; at least one energy source powering the timekeeping circuit, the stepping motors and the vibration generator device; a set of twelve sensors arranged on the periphery of the glass facing twelve time positions and over which a finger has to run; and an electronic interpretation and coding circuit associated with the timekeeping circuit and receiving from the sensors and the crown-push-button signals for driving the vibration generator device, wherein the bezel is provided with four markings arranged facing the four 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock, 12 o'clock time positions and in that the electronic circuit is designed to recognise both a specific manipulation on the crown-push-button, the activation of an individual sensor, of any sensor in a group of contiguous sensors, and the order in which contiguous sensors are activated.
