The digital hammurabi project

An electronically powered watch is disclosed which has an audible signal producing alarm system incorporated into the watch structure. The audible signal is produced by a vibrating membrane located laterally adjacent to the watch battery within the watch case. The audible signal emanates from the case by radial sound discharging openings provided through the watch case. The structure minimizes the overall height of the watch structure. Access to the battery is provided by a removable battery cover over an opening in the rear cover of the watch. The battery may be removed and a new battery installed by merely removing the battery cover without disturbing the vibrating membrane or removing the entire rear cover of the watch.
