The invention concerns a device for holding a wheel set of a timepiece movement comprising a lever, intended to be mounted to slide via guide means on the main plate of the timepiece movement between a first and a second position.

According to the invention, the lever comprises, at a first end, a locking beak intended to cooperate with means for holding the wheel set to hold and to guide the wheel set in rotation in the first position and to leave the wheel set free in the second position, the lever being arranged to be able to move in translation, between the first position, called the retracted position, and the second position, called the deployed position.

The present invention relates to collection of water after being exposed to the moonlight. The water resource for exposure under moonlight over any period of time and the storage of such collected water so obtained from any resource. The water resource collected and composed of but not limited to collection of water from resources like river, spring, rain, snow, well water, tap water, distilled bottled water, that is accumulated. The period during which water is exposed to the moonlight can have a combination of significance but not limited to: zodiac, religious, astronomical, calendar, astrological, numerology etc. Further, the exposed water obtained is packed and labeled based on the religious, astronomical, astrological, numerological significance classified or falling under the time when the water resource or the water stored in the container is exposed to the source of moonlight. The water resource collected and composed of but not limited to collection of water from resources like river, spring, rain, snow, tap water, dew, distilled bottled water, well water that is accumulated or placed.

A sunrise/sunset power supply time control system comprises an application program and a power supply controller, wherein the application program is installed on an electronic device comprising a near field communication transmission unit, and the power supply controller is electrically connected to a power gird end and at least a load end, in which the application program can acquire the coordinate values and the current time at which the electronic device is presently located and calculate a sunrise/sunset timetable to which the coordinate values correspond, and then transfer the current time and the sunrise/sunset timetable to the power supply controller via the near field communication transmission unit, while subsequently the power supply controller controls the power supply time in accordance with the received current time as well as the sunrise/sunset time recorded in the sunrise/sunset timetable.

A display mechanism for n moonphases for a timepiece, where n≥3, includes a first wheel and pinion having a night-time background and a portion of lunar background and a second wheel and pinion superposed on the first, the second having a night-time background and moonphase profiles, with the first and second pivoting about one axis. The first wheel and pinion is driven at a constant velocity, and that the second can be driven in rotation at the same velocity and direction as the first during a moonphase display period during which a portion of lunar background of the first and a moonphase profile of the second corresponding to the moonphase to be displayed are superposed, revealing the moonphase. The second wheel and pinion is offset from the first by a repositioning angle during a transitional period between the current and following display periods, revealing the following moonphase.

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.

A moon phase display mechanism for a timepiece capable of being driven by a horological movement, the operation whereof depends on the time division, the moon phase display mechanism including: a moon phase indicator carrying at least one representation of the moon; a jumping drive mechanism of the moon phase indicator capable of being driven by the horological movement and of driving, in jumps, the moon phase indicator; the moon phase display mechanism wherein the jumping drive mechanism is configured to rotate the moon phase indicator by n increments per day, n being greater than 1, each increment rotating the moon phase indicator by an angle α corresponding to the angle of rotation of a daily pitch divided by the number n of increments.

A calendar mechanism for a timepiece suitable for indicating a piece of information having a period that varies according to at least a first cycle and a second cycle is provided. The mechanism, inter alia, is a system for actuating a lever, in which the actuating system includes a first feeler-spindle intended to come into contact with the first cam and a second feeler-spindle intended to come into contact with the second cam the feeler-spindles being kinematically linked with each other and the actuating system being arranged to move the lever from the inactive position to the active position under the control of each of the cams.

A device (1), and timepiece having the device, for displaying a succession of periodic events which form an annual cycle, including a periodic events indicator member (2) and a mechanism (4) for managing a duration during which the periodic events are displayed by the periodic events indicator member (2). The management mechanism includes a cam (8) for managing a duration during which the periodic events are displayed, which cam is arranged such that it controls the change from the indication of a periodic event to the indication of a subsequent periodic event by the periodic events indicator member, a periodic driver (10) for driving the management cam (8) and a member (6) disposed between the management cam and the periodic events indicator member and arranged such that it drives the periodic events indicator member (2) during a change in event.
