Electronic Watch
An electronic watch of the present disclosure includes a power generation device having a rotating weight rotating about a rotary shaft, and configured to convert mechanical energy obtained by rotation of the rotating weight into electrical energy, a clocking device configured to clock time, and an antenna disposed on an inner side in a radial direction of the rotating weight than a rotational trajectory of an outer peripheral edge of the rotating weight in plan view viewed from an axial direction of the rotary shaft, and configured to be capable of receiving a long wave standard radio wave, wherein the rotating weight has an opening portion or a notch portion disposed at a position that enables the rotating weight to overlap with the antenna in plan view, and does not cover the entire antenna in plan view regardless of a rotational position.
Electromechanical timepiece module comprising an antenna
An electromechanical timepiece module (1) has a main plate (10) with an actuator module (40) driving at least one mobile part (30) by a gear train (42). The mobile part (30) displays a time or non-time function. A wireless communication module (2) is configured for transmitting and/or receiving a wireless signal. And a control unit (6) is configured for controlling the actuator module (40) depending on a received wireless signal. The mobile part (30) and the gearing (42) are made of an electrically conductive material and are in electrical contact with each other but electrically isolated from the remainder of the timepiece module (1). The mobile part (30) is electrically connected to the communication module (2) so as to act as an antenna for the transmission and/or reception of the wireless signal and to transmit the wireless signal between the mobile part (30) and the wireless communication module (2).

TIMEPIECE PROVIDED WITH A MECHANICAL MOVEMENT AND A DEVICE FOR CORRECTING A DISPLAYED TIME
A watch formed by a mechanical movement incorporating a mechanical resonator, including a display displaying the actual time, a correction device formed by a device for detecting the passage of at least one hand through at least one reference time position and by an electronic correction circuit allowing an overall time error for the display to be determined, and a device for braking the mechanical resonator. The correction device is arranged such that it can correct the actual time displayed as a function of the overall time error (loss or gain) previously determined.
For this purpose, the correction device is arranged such that the braking device can act on the mechanical resonator during a correction period to vary the running of the drive mechanism of the display, in order to correct the actual time displayed.
