TOOL FOR ACTUATING A CORRECTOR EQUIPPING A PORTABLE OBJECT OF SMALL DIMENSIONS
The invention relates to a tool for actuating a push-button corrector equipping a portable object of small dimensions, said actuating tool comprising a body that extends between a rear end defining an area for grasping the actuating tool and a front end defining an area for actuating the actuating tool, the actuating tool further comprising an actuating rod arranged such that it slides in a coaxial manner inside the body, the actuating rod being capable of moving from back to front and from front to back between a retracted rest position wherein it is retracted in a stable manner inside the body of the actuating tool, and a protruding working position wherein it protrudes outside of the cap, the actuating rod remaining in the protruding working position thereof as long as an axial pushing force is exerted thereon, and returns to the retracted rest position thereof as soon as the axial pushing force is released.

TACTILE SWITCH FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
An electronic watch may include a tactile switch and/or one or more sensors for detecting rotational and translational inputs. The watch may include a display configured to produce graphical outputs that may change in response to rotational inputs, translational inputs, and/or touch inputs received at the display. The watch include a crown positioned along an exterior of the watch enclosure and a shaft coupled to the crown and extending into the enclosure. The tactile switch and/or the one or more sensors may be used to detect rotational and/or translational inputs provided at the crown.
TIMEPIECE PROVIDED WITH A MECHANICAL MOVEMENT AND A DEVICE FOR CORRECTING A DISPLAYED TIME
A watch formed by a mechanical movement incorporating a mechanical resonator, including a display displaying the actual time, a correction device formed by a device for detecting the passage of at least one hand through at least one reference time position and by an electronic correction circuit allowing an overall time error for the display to be determined, and a device for braking the mechanical resonator. The correction device is arranged such that it can correct the actual time displayed as a function of the overall time error (loss or gain) previously determined.
For this purpose, the correction device is arranged such that the braking device can act on the mechanical resonator during a correction period to vary the running of the drive mechanism of the display, in order to correct the actual time displayed.

Device for controlling at least two electronic and/or mechanical functions of a portable object
A device for controlling at least two electronic and/or mechanical functions of a portable object of small dimensions includes a control stem that is axially movable between at least a first and a second position. The control stem is provided at a first end with an actuation member, and is provided towards a second end with a position indexing plate arranged to cooperate with an elastic member in order to match each of the first and second positions of the control stem with one of the mechanical or electronic functions.
Watch movement comprising a retrograde display and a jump hour ring
A watch movement comprising a retrograde mobile, an hours ring bearing an asymmetric internal toothing and driven by the retrograde mobile in order to display the current hour in a jumping way, a correction mechanism allowing the retrograde mobile to be corrected in both directions, a drive member that can be actuated by said correction mechanism and engages with said asymmetric internal toothing so that corrections of the retrograde mobile in the clockwise direction are transmitted to the hours ring, whereas corrections in the counterclockwise direction are not transmitted to the hours ring.
DISENGAGEMENT OF TWO GEAR TRAINS
A timepiece mechanism (100) for disengaging a gear train. The timepiece mechanism (100) includes a gear set (110), a disengagement member (120), a holding member (121) and a control member (130). The gear set (110) includes a first wheel (111), a second wheel (112) and an intermediate wheel (113) configured to be driven by or for driving the first wheel (111) and/or for driving the second wheel (112). The holding member (121) holds the first wheel (111) and/or the second wheel (112) when the disengagement member (120), controlled by the control member (130), moves the intermediate wheel (113) between an engaged position (101) and a disengaged position (102). Hence the timepiece mechanism (100) is held in position while disengaging the watch mechanism.
TIMEPIECE INDEXING ELEMENT
A timepiece indexing element cooperating coaxially with a component including an indexing relief element defining indexing positions, including a first bearing surface cooperating in abutment with the component, elastic return device exerting a radial thrust on this component to press it onto this first bearing surface, and indexing device cooperating with the indexing relief element, these elastic return devices include at least a first elastic arm including a first indexing surface comprised in this indexing device and arranged to exert a radial thrust force on the component and, at least a second elastic arm arranged to exert a radial thrust force on the first elastic arm.
