A bidirectional correction mechanism for correcting the position of a first and of a second gear train, via a setting device driving a corrector pinion, including a correction lever pivoting on an arbor of the corrector pinion, which carries, meshing with the corrector pinion, a first wheel set for driving the first gear train, and a second wheel set for driving the second gear train. This mechanism includes an elastic element which, in the absence of action on the setting device, returns the correction lever to a neutral position wherein the wheel sets are uncoupled from the first and second wheel trains, and either a friction connection between the correction lever and the arbor, or a friction connection between the elastic element on the one hand, and the first wheel set and the second wheel set on the other hand.

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.

Device (400) for selecting a clock function from a rewinding function and m correction functions, m>1, comprising a control member (3), notably a staff, able to select the rewind function by movement of the control member in a first direction and to select sequentially one function from m correction functions by movement of the control member in a second direction.

An electronic timepiece has a display device that displays display information, a drive mechanism that drives the display device, a crown that can perform a rotary operation, and a control device that corrects the display information displayed on the display device by the rotary operation of the crown. The control device has a single correction mode and a continuous correction mode which are selected by the rotary operation of the crown. In the single correction mode, a single correction signal is output to the drive mechanism so that the display device is corrected as much as a single correction quantity. In the continuous correction mode, a continuous correction signal is output to the drive mechanism so that the display device is corrected as much as a continuous correction quantity. The continuous correction quantity is set depending on types of the display information to be corrected in the continuous correction mode.

A clockwork movement with a tourbillon unit, including a base plate, a mobile cage mounted rotatably on the base plate and connected to a second pinion, a balance mounted on the mobile cage and an escape wheel mounted on the mobile cage and being in operative connection with the balance, a balance wheel stop mechanism being capable to be brought into engagement with the balance, wherein it further includes a setting mechanism controlled by an external actuating device for any angular orientation of the mobile cage.

The pull-out piece mechanism (100) for timepiece movement includes a pull-out piece (20) having a pull-out piece body (21) including a first part (21) with a connecting element (21a) connecting to a control member (10), such as a pull-out piece stud (21a), and a second part (22), the first part being attached to the second part and the first part being movable with respect to the second part between (i) a first position in which the connecting element (21a) is able to engage with the control member (10) and (ii) a second position in which the connecting element (21a) is not able to engage with the control member (10), and an elastic return member (40) designed to return the first part (21) to the first position.

A quartz watch movement includes a minute wheel connected to a handsetting wheel by an intermediate wheel, a shaft of a third wheel placed in a shaft hole in a main plate, elastic connection structures being rotated by a third-wheel shaft gear and a minute wheel piece gear which are engaged together and are arranged between a minute wheel tube and the minute wheel piece gear when a stem is pulled or the minute hand is adjusted through the handsetting wheel, the intermediate wheel and a minute wheel shaft gear, and a second-hand stop lever detachably connected to a second-hand stop electrode. The elastic connection structures are arranged between the minute wheel tube and the minute wheel piece gear, so that the quartz watch is accurate in travel time and has the function of efficiently adjusting the hour hand and the minute hand when omitting a handsetting middle wheel.
