Modular timepiece movement with functional modules
A mechanical timepiece movement in the form of a modular unit. The movement includes at least one modular unit for performing a particular timepiece function, which is irremovably pre-adjusted by irremovably securing adjustment and/or assembling components included in the functional module after the particular horological function has been adjusted and function checked on the test bench. The pre-adjusted functional module is irremovably secured to a plate included in the movement or included in another pre-adjusted functional module of the movement, or irremovably secured to another pre-adjusted functional module included in the movement.
Smart automatic watch winding-mechanism with watch identification

TIMEPIECE MOVEMENT, MECHANICAL TIMEPIECE, AND METHOD FOR RELEASING PAWL LEVER FROM ENGAGEMENT
A timepiece movement includes: a barrel wheel; a ratchet wheel; a rotary weight; a transmission wheel that causes the ratchet wheel to rotate; a pawl lever that engages with the transmission wheel, is interlocked with the rotary weight, and performs forward/backward movement in directions of approaching and moving away from the transmission wheel; a base panel; and a wheel train bearing provided between the base panel and the rotary weight. The pawl lever and the transmission wheel are positioned between the base panel and the wheel train bearing. The transmission wheel is pivotally supported by the wheel train bearing. The wheel train bearing is provided with a release portion for releasing the pawl lever and the transmission wheel from engagement therebetween by moving the pawl lever.

Self-winding mechanism for watches
Watch comprising a case containing an energy accumulator recharged by a winding mechanism, this watch is arranged to receive, attached to the case or in immediate proximity thereto, an additional self-winding mechanism arranged to be worn by a user at the same time as the watch and comprising a transmitter wheel set arranged for contactless cooperation with a receiver wheel set comprised in the winding mechanism, by remote interaction under the action of a field in the air-gap between the transmitter wheel set and the receiver wheel set, the intensity of the field and the maximum air-gap distance being defined to transmit to the receiver wheel set, to recharge the energy accumulator, a torque or a force imparted by a user to the transmitter wheel set, and the additional self-winding mechanism is removable and portable with respect to the case.
