Mechanism for a watch movement (1) comprising a cam (5), a rack (3) driven by the cam (5), a retrograde mobile (20) driven by said rack (3) and bearing a retrograde indicator (2) for displaying a first item of time information, the rack (3) and the retrograde mobile (20) being arranged in such a way as to rotate in the same direction. A jumping hour display ring is synchronized with the returns of the retrograde display.

The invention relates to a mechanism for displaying an information for a timepiece, comprising a mobile (10) intended to be driven in rotation by the movement of the timepiece about a display axis (17), a satellite (20) pivoted on the mobile (10) about a satellite axis (27) parallel to the display axis (17) and remote from a non-zero distance d1 thereof, a display area (80), an indicator (50) secured to the satellite (20) and the position of which relative to the display area (80) provides the information, and a crown (30) centered on the display axis (17) and kinematically connected to the satellite (20). The mechanism is particular in that the indicator (50) is located at a distance d2 from the satellite axis (27), which is greater than or equal to the distance d1.

A watch movement comprising a retrograde mobile, an hours ring bearing an asymmetric internal toothing and driven by the retrograde mobile in order to display the current hour in a jumping way, a correction mechanism allowing the retrograde mobile to be corrected in both directions, a drive member that can be actuated by said correction mechanism and engages with said asymmetric internal toothing so that corrections of the retrograde mobile in the clockwise direction are transmitted to the hours ring, whereas corrections in the counterclockwise direction are not transmitted to the hours ring.

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 enamelling 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.

A variable timepiece display mechanism includes a resilient hand with two drive pipes integral with a one-piece flexible strip includes a tip or an index, with a driver for driving the pivoting of the pipe, and a stressor for stressing the strip so as to vary the position of the tip relative to the axis of the pipes, which includes an accelerator or decelerator device arranged such that it accelerates, or stabilizes the speed of, or slows down the first pipe and/or the second pipe over at least part of the angular travel thereof, which includes a device with a first differential gear on the drive gear train of the first pipe and/or a second differential gear on the drive gear train of the second pipe, and at least one cam forming an input of a differential gear.

A timepiece includes a dial plate including a first index on a radial virtual line outwardly extending from a center; and a circular case ring disposed outside of the dial plate, the circular case ring including a second index arranged in series with the first index on the line, wherein the second index includes a proximal end facing the first index; and a distal end opposite the proximal end, wherein a width of the proximal end is wider than that of the distal end in a plan view as seen in a height direction of the dial plate, and wherein the width of the proximal end of the second index is wider than that of a proximal end of the first index facing the second index.
