MECHANISM FOR DISPLAYING THE NUMBER OF THE WEEK FOR A TIMEPIECE
Disclosed is a mechanism for displaying the number of the week for fitting to a timepiece movement and including a starwheel for the weeks including 52 or 53 teeth, a rocker for the weeks including a flexible finger cooperating with the toothed arrangement of the weeks starwheel upon actuation of the rocker by a driving mobile, the one driving mobile driven by one step per day by the movement and to actuate the weeks rocker once every seven days upon passing from the last day of the week to the first. The driving mobile is a driving starwheel including seven teeth, six being so-called silent teeth which are arranged not to cooperate with the weeks rocker and one tooth is a driving tooth arranged to actuate the rocker once per week upon passing from the last day of the week to the first day of the week.

Retrograde display mechanism for horology
A timepiece display mechanism including at least a first retrograde drive device for a first display member displaying a first magnitude, and a second retrograde drive device for a second display member displaying a second magnitude, the first retrograde drive device including a first drive rack to exert on a first wheel set driving the first display member, an opposite force to a resistance force exerted by a first return rack, the second retrograde drive device including a second drive rack to exert on a second wheel set driving the second display member, an opposite force to a resistance force exerted by a second return rack, wherein the pivot axes of the first drive rack and of the first return rack are remote, and/or the pivot axes of the second drive rack and of the second return rack are remote.
Mechanical clockwork
Disclosed is a clockwork with pointers or with a pointer module driven by a mechanical driving gear, wherein the clockwork is a hybrid clockwork that in addition to the mechanical driving gear, also at least includes an additional driving gear with a motor and an electric or electronic controller that is internal and which is equipped to be able to drive and/or adjust the pointers or the pointer module in parallel or in series with the mechanical driving gear.

External control mechanism for a timepiece
An external watch control device (100) including a crown (1) carrying a first barrel (2) screwed onto a tube (4), coaxially guiding a second barrel (3) includes a driver (7), the first barrel (2) and the second barrel (3) including opposing unidirectional toothing (8; 9), the tube (4) containing a spring (11) tending to move the first barrel (2) away from the driver (7), the unidirectional toothing (8; 9) are at maximum distance when the crown (1) is completely screwed onto the tube (4), and in meshing position when the crown (1) is completely unscrewed, the cooperation between the unidirectional toothing (8; 9) allowing the rotation of the first barrel (3) in a first single direction of rotation of the crown (1), and preventing it in the opposite direction against the spring (11) in the manner of a pawl.
Never-ending calendar
A perpetual calendar system comprising: a first array of letter positions, each letter position in the first array denoting a position corresponding to a digit in Gregorian numerical system; a second array of numbers corresponding to digits in the Gregorian numerical system; and a third array of symbols comprising a plurality of groups of years, wherein each group corresponds to a related letter position and a related number in the first array and the second array respectively, such that a combination of: the related letter position from the first array, the related number from the second array, and the plurality of groups of years in the third array is used to locate a calendar for a year of interest, and wherein the combination corresponds to a page index in the perpetual calendar system constituted by a plurality of pages, each page having a calendar identified by the corresponding page index.
DEVICE FOR SELECTING TIMEPIECE FUNCTIONS
A device (200; 200′) for selecting timepiece functions, including a setting lever device (150; 150′), and a frame (100; 100′), the setting level device (150, 150′) including a selling level (2; 2′) mounted movably on the frame (100; 100′) and a lever (3; 3′) mounted movably on the frame (100, 100′) or on the setting lever (2; 2′), the selection device (200; 200′) also including a first position indexing device (4; 4′) arranged so as to act on the setting lever (2; 2), and a second position indexing device (5; 5′) arranged so as to act on the lever (3; 3′).
