Apparatus for telling time by aligning a plurality of partial images from time to time to form a composite image, including a motor having two or more concentric rotating output shafts rotating at different speeds. Each of the partial images is supported by one of the shafts. As a function of the relative rates of rotation of the shafts, all of the partial images become aligned from time to identifiable time to form the composite image.

Each and every rotating disc in these examples is attached to a power driven shaft. This is a common concentric shaft with three differing powered rotations, one at sixty rotations per hour, another at two rotations per twenty-four hours, and the remaining one at 3600 rotations per hour. These rotating discs are identified respectively as the minute disc, the hour disc, and the secondhand disc and are attached to their respective individual shafts.

A timepiece has a watch movement including a complication of the chronograph or countdown type, a fixed body (10) and a display (20) with moir effect for displaying a time information associated with the chronograph or the countdown. The display has a mobile disc (22) with an indicator (24) of the time information. The mobile disc (22) is connected to an axis (23) in engagement with the watch movement and arranged to rotate above or below the fixed body (10). One of the mobile disc (22) and the fixed body (10) has a plurality of apertures (26) arranged over 360. The other of the mobile disc (22) and the fixed body (10) includes a marking with a repetition of patterns including a first set of patterns having a first visual appearance (27) and a second set of patterns having a second visual appearance (28).

A watch includes an hour hand and a minute hand, a dial including a plurality of time graduations indicating time by being pointed by the hour hand and the minute hand, and a dial plate including a graduation for predetermined information different from the time, and supported by a rotary shaft, wherein in plan view from a normal direction of the dial, the rotary shaft overlaps with a pointing graduation, which is one of the time graduations, and the predetermined information is indicated by the graduation of the dial plate in an extension direction of the pointing graduation.

The present disclosure relates to a watch type terminal including a body comprising a display unit and a band connected to the body and formed to be worn on a wrist, wherein the body includes a first disk configured to overlap with the display unit and comprise a first hand, a second disk disposed below the first disk to comprise a second hand, a first and a second pinion coupled to the edges of the first and the second disk, respectively, and a rotation drive unit configured to provide a rotational force to the pinions to rotate the first and the second disk so as to display visual information by the first and the second hand.

A single-hand or single-indicator timepiece that can simultaneously identify both the hour and minute portion of a given time is present herein. The timepiece includes an indicator structured to rotate about the face of the timepiece and point to the hour element of the time via a distal end thereof. In addition, the same indicator includes a minute identifying portion disposed along a length thereof that will align with a rotationally disposed minute disc. The minute disc includes indicia representative of the minutes evenly spaced radially about its surface in a clockwise ascending order. As the minute disc rotates counterclockwise and the indicator rotates clockwise, the indicator will simultaneously identify the hour element at its distal end and the minute element via the relative position of the minute identifying portion and the minute disc.

A horology calendar system (100; 200) comprising: a date display member (10) including an opening (10a); and a month display member (30) arranged in such a way as to display an indication of the month in the opening (10a), notably when the opening (10a) is visible to a user of the calendar system and/or when the calendar system is indicating the first day of a given month.

The present invention relates to a display (10) of a timepiece, comprising a first indication (12) of a first time zone corresponding to the local time, a second indication (14) of the time of a second time zone and a day/night indicator (21) arranged to make one revolution in 24 hours. The day/night indicator (21) comprises a first and a second sector (22, 24) having a different visual appearance and representing day and night respectively. The display (10) further comprises a multiple display module (20) comprising at least a first indicator (26) arranged in a fixed manner in correspondence with the day/night indicator (21) and a second indicator (28) serving as a reference and arranged in correspondence with the day/night indicator (21) in order to indicate at a given instant whether it is day or night at the local time and at the time of the second time zone. The invention also relates to a timepiece comprising the display (10)

A single-hand or single-indicator timepiece that can simultaneously identify both the hour and minute portion of a given time is present herein. The timepiece includes an indicator structured to rotate about the face of the timepiece and point to the hour element of the time via a distal end thereof. In addition, the same indicator includes a minute identifying portion disposed along a length thereof that will align with a rotationally disposed minute disc. The minute disc includes indicia representative of the minutes evenly spaced radially about its surface in a clockwise ascending order. As the minute disc rotates counterclockwise and the indicator rotates clockwise, the indicator will simultaneously identify the hour element at its distal end and the minute element via the relative position of the minute identifying portion and the minute disc.

A rotating mechanical clock or watch with a static hand for telling time for hours, minutes, and seconds. The rotating mechanical clock permits telling time using gears and powered by a battery or winding mechanism. Instead of using the rotating hands of a standard mechanical clock, light-weight balanced rotating disks tell the time under one static hand for easy display and reading.

A time-indicating method includes at least of a time-indicating device for the hours and an additional time-indicating device for the minutes, wherein the time-indicating devices are indicating elements with a bearing point, and the bearing point of each time-indicating device is arranged on a common axis. An additional display element is rotatably arranged on the common virtual axis, and each display element has a slot extending from the outer circumference to the bearing point such that the slots rotate one below the other and independently of one another, wherein one, two, or three display elements are moved in an alternating manner via a setting device.
