Universal device for the winding and time-setting of a watch with oscillating resonator, including a rewinding and state corrector, including an automatic winding mechanism, state measurer relative to a reference, stoppage monitor to observe the stoppage of the resonator, running monitor of the resonator, controller to identify the stoppage time displayed, compute the time remaining until a synchronisation between the actual time indicated by the reference and the stoppage time, and, when this remaining time has elapsed, activate the winding mechanism to rewind the storage means of the watch, and, following activation of the winding mechanism, await the determination of the stabilisation of the nominal running of the resonato by these monitors before allowing a fine adjustment of the state of the watch.

A time correction device includes a mounting stand on which a watch is mounted, a detector configured to detect a position of a hand of the watch mounted on the mounting stand, an operation mechanism configured to operate a crown of the watch mounted on the mounting stand, a timekeeping circuit configured to keep an internal time, and a control circuit configured to acquire an indicated time indicated by the hand from the position of the hand and control the operation mechanism to rotate the crown in accordance with a difference between the internal time and the indicated time and thus correct the indicated time to the internal time.

A mechanism for winding a timepiece including at least first and second energy accumulators, the winding mechanism including a winding stem, a winding pinion and a sliding pinion having face gear toothings, arranged to allow the winding pinion to be driven by the sliding pinion in both directions of rotation of the winding stem, the winding stem and the sliding pinion occupying the same axial winding position. The winding stem is housed inside a bottom plate so that the winding pinion is operational on either side of the winding stem with respect to the bottom plate and the winding mechanism includes first and second coupling/uncoupling devices arranged on either side of the winding stem with respect to the bottom plate.

A device for adjusting horological functions of a timepiece, including a mechanism for selection and actuation, comprising: a drive driving a driving pinion in the clockwise and anti-clockwise directions, a driven pinion driven when the driving pinion turns clockwise and anti-clockwise, said driven pinion moving into a first position by the driving pinion turning clockwise, in which said driven pinion actuates an actuator of a first horological function, and moving into a second position by the driving pinion turning anti-clockwise, in which second position, said driven pinion actuates an actuator of a second horological function, said driven pinion not actuating the actuator of the first horological function when it is in its second position, and vice versa. The mechanism for selection and actuation comprises at least two driven pinions, and the adjusting device comprises a control mechanism selectively bringing the driving pinion into engagement with each of the driven pinions.

Push-in watch crown mechanisms and methods are described. The push-in watch crown mechanisms include a locking mechanism for latching the watch crown inside the watch body such that the top of the watch crown is substantially flush to the edge of the watch body. Further, the push-in watch crown mechanisms include a release mechanism for unlatching the watch crown so that it is released outside of the watch body and accessible for use. Additionally, methods of using push-in watch crown mechanisms are described.

The present disclosure provides a reversible watch with a secure and convenient flipping mechanism that facilitates quick and easy switching between two different watch faces. The mechanism comprises a timepiece block resting in and coupled to an outer frame by a pair of pivot joints about which it can rotate, and a set of ball bearings and corresponding indents that secure the timepiece to the frame when the time displays are aligned with the frame. The time displays are also separately controllable, allowing for users to conveniently switch between any two relative times.

An electronic device has a housing and a rotatable and translatable input mechanism. The housing has an aperture and the rotatable and translatable input mechanism has a shaft positioned at least partially within the aperture and a manipulation structure coupled to the shaft. The manipulation structure may be manipulated to rotationally and translationally move the shaft to provide rotational and translational input to the electronic device. A compressible seal is positioned in a gap between the housing and the rotatable and translatable input mechanism. The compressible seal may resist and/or prevent passage of contaminants into the aperture and/or obscure one or more internal components. The compressible seal may be configured to collapse or bend when the rotatable and translatable member translates.
