STRIKE MODE SELECTOR FOR A WATCH OR TIMEPIECE
Striking mechanism for a watch including: an hour snail driven by a movement, a strike wheel set including a detent ratchet and a repeating rack pinion, a pivoting hour-rack for reading this snail and driving this pinion, a click set in motion at each passing strike to drive this detent ratchet, with a mode selector mechanism for selection by the user of a particular strike mode, among distinct modes including a silent mode, defining the angular position of a cam having an external profile, wherein, in silent mode, the largest radius pushes back a beak of a silencing lever, to orient it into a position where its main arm moves this click away from this ratchet in order to disable every passing strike.
STRIKE MODE AND TUNE SELECTOR FOR A WATCH OR TIMEPIECE
Striking mechanism for a watch including: an hour snail driven by a movement, a strike wheel set including a detent ratchet and a repeating rack pinion, a pivoting hour-rack for reading the snail and driving the pinion, a click set in motion at each passing strike to drive the detent ratchet, with a mode selector mechanism for selection by the user of a particular strike mode, among distinct modes including a silent mode, defining the angular position of a cam having an external profiled surface, wherein, in silent mode, the largest radius pushes back a beak of a silencing lever, to orient it into a position where its main arm moves the click away from the ratchet in order to disable every passing strike function.
MECHANICAL TIMEPIECE MOVEMENT WITH RUNNING RESERVE DETECTION
The mechanical timepiece movement with running reserve indication comprises at least one barrel system with a winding output connected to a winding wheel of a differential gear, and with an unwinding output connected to an unwinding wheel of the differential gear. It includes a locking wheel set driven in rotation by an intermediate wheel of the differential gear. The locking wheel set is connected to a running reserve indicator to display the running reserve. The locking wheel set includes a locking element for coming into contact with the unwinding wheel of the differential gear when the running reserve is at zero, in order to lock the timepiece movement.
