CONTROL DEVICE FOR A TIMEPIECE
A control device (1) for a timepiece (200) includes: an input (2), intended to be rotated by action of a user in a first direction or in a second direction, a first unidirectional connector (3), intended to mechanically connect the input (2) to a first mechanism (5) providing a first timepiece function, and a second unidirectional connector (4), intended to mechanically connect the input (2) to a second mechanism (6) providing a second timepiece function, the first unidirectional connector (3) arranged and/or configured to drive the first mechanism (5) exclusively when the input is manoeuvred in the first direction, the second unidirectional connector (4) arranged and/or configured to drive the second mechanism (6) exclusively when the input is manoeuvred in the second direction, the first unidirectional connector (3) having first toothings (321, 331) which interact irreversibly and/or the second unidirectional connector (4) having second toothings (421, 431) which interact irreversibly.
Wearable electronic device
A consumer product that is a portable and, in some cases, a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device may have functionalities including: keeping time; monitoring a user's physiological signals and providing health-related information based on those signals; communicating with other electronic devices or services; visually depicting data on a display; gather data form one or more sensors that may be used to initiate, control, or modify operations of the device; determine a location of a touch on a surface of the device and/or an amount of force exerted on the device, and use either or both as input.
Crown-push-button for a timepiece
A crown-push-button (3) provided with a spring (10) disposed within a cage (11) integral in rotation with the movement of the head (4) of the crown-push-button (3), the spring (10) being arranged within the cage (11) so as to be rotated with the cage. The base (13c) of the spring cage is provided with cells (18) cooperating with protuberances (17) formed in a washer (14) disposed on the seat (6a) of the tube (6) of the crown-push-button, the rotation of the crown-push-button being then accompanied by a click as the protuberances (17) pass in the cells (18), which allows the user to ensure that the desired functions have been activated.

REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE FOR A HOROLOGICAL MOVEMENT OF A WATCH AND WATCH COMPRISING SAID CONTROL DEVICE
A remote control device for a horological movement of a watch wherein the remote control device includes an input control member intended to be acted on by a user and kinematically connected, with a connecting member, to an output control member intended to act on the horological movement of the watch, the connecting member being intended to be arranged such that it can rotate about the horological movement, and being configured such that it is driven in rotation by the input control member when the latter is acted upon, and such that it causes the output control member to move during this rotation.
TIMEPIECE WITH A ROTATING CONTROL MEMBER
The invention relates to a timepiece having a rotary control member, the rotary control member having a hollow cylindrical body coaxial with the axis of rotation of the rotary control member, the hollow cylindrical body defining a hollow inner housing having or supporting a coaxial rotary disc on which is arranged a rotatable mark or logo motif visible from the exterior of the timepiece. The rotary disc rotates freely about its axis in or on the hollow cylindrical body, the rotary disc cooperating with a displacement device comprising an asymmetrically distributed weight to create an imbalance tending to rotate said rotary disc about its axis when the timepiece is in motion or when the control member has been rotated, so that, seen from the outside, the motif maintains a substantially fixed orientation.
Device for controlling a horological movement with tactile feedback and timepiece, in particular a watch, comprising such a device
A control device (10) for a horological movement, including a first part including a sliding guide tube (11) intended to be fixed relative to the horological movement, and a second movable part (12) slidably guided by the guide tube in an axial direction, relative to the first part, between an active position wherein it is able to be integral, by means of an adjustment rod (120), with a component of the horological movement, and an inactive position wherein the adjustment rod is intended to release the component of the horological movement. The second part includes a head (140) covering a reversible elastic casing module (130) fixed to the adjustment rod and arranged so as to occupy a rest state when the second part occupies the active and inactive positions and being urged by the guide tube when the second part moves between these positions.
