A timepiece with a double-sided display, including a first display member and a second display member coaxial to the first display member and integral therewith with a first common arbor. The centers of mass of the first display member and the second display member are, in projection on a plane perpendicular to their common axis. The first display member and/or the second display member is arranged to display a visual animation, and is movable above a back, and, either above a mask partially and incompletely covering the back.

An educational clock that includes a base, a minute number line chain including a plurality of minute links pivotably connected together, and an hour number line chain including a plurality of hour links pivotably connected together. The minute number line chain is adjustable between an annular shape configured to removably couple to the base and a linear shape. The hour number line chain is adjustable between an annular shape configured to removably couple to the base concentrically with the minute number line chain and a linear shape. The minute number line chain and the hour number line chain are approximately the same length when each is in its linear shape.

A display panel includes a plate-shaped decoration member including a shading part and a light transmission part formed within the shading part, as well as a plate-shaped reflection member disposed on a back side of the decoration member. The shading part and the light transmission part create a fine pattern in a plan view. The reflection member is configured to reflect light. The decoration member is disposed on a front surface of the reflection member.

A dial for a timepiece, preferably a watch, the dial being provided with a relief portion which is made as an assembly of pieces on different levels, juxtaposed on a base, such that the relief portion is formed by the upper surfaces of the pieces. A method for manufacturing the dial with several separate pieces, the upper surfaces of the pieces being subjected to a polishing step and/or possibly an enameling step. The pieces are then cut along a defined contour and then assembled edge-to-edge on a base, so as to create the relief portion.

The invention relates to a watch having a variable dial, and more specifically a watch that provides the wearer with the possibility of partially changing the appearance of the dial. According to the invention, the watch has a dial (1) that has at least one opening (6, 7) occupied by a removable bezel (3, 5) and the watch further has a plurality of carrying arms (9, 10) disposed radially on a carousel (8), each arm end situated on the circumference carrying a bezel (3, 5) and the carousel (8) being able to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the dial (1) and passing through the center thereof.

A moving mechanism for a decorative element of a timepiece, the decorative element including at least two decorative faces disposed around an arbor defining the axis of the decorative element. The moving mechanism includes a circular drive element arranged to be rotatable about a central axis and including an aperture arranged to reveal one of the decorative faces of the decorative element and inside which said decorative element is mounted to rotate about its arbor. The moving mechanism also includes first device for driving the decorative element in rotation about its arbor mounted on the circular drive element and arranged to cooperate with fixed actuation means provided in the periphery of the circular drive element, such that the decorative element rotates about its arbor to successively display its decorative faces in the aperture of the circular drive element while rotating about the central axis.

A watch (10) including a case provided with a back, with a crystal (12), with a set of components forming a horological movement (13), and with a dial (14) disposed between the movement and the crystal (12), the dial (14) including a photovoltaic cell module (16) connected to an electric accumulator (17) intended to provide an electrical energy source to the watch (10), the dial (14) further including a shutter device (18) arranged between the photovoltaic cell module (16) and the crystal (12) of the watch (10), and configured to occupy a shutter state wherein it masks the entire photovoltaic cell module (16) and an exposure state wherein it exposes all or part of the photovoltaic cell module (16).
