Timepiece display mechanism including a cam driven by a time base, and a pivoting lever including an elastically returned feeler member following the contour of the cam and a first rack meshing with a first angular orientation wheel which drives an indicator plate synchronously or via a differential mechanism, the indicator plate projecting radially with respect to a main axis and being parallel to or coplanar with the first wheel, the display mechanism includes a connecting rod articulated at a first end to a carriage slidably mounted on the indicator plate and carrying a retractable hand, a second end of the connecting rod being pivoted on a fixed pivot or on a movable pivot comprised in an elongation wheel set driven directly or indirectly by the lever.

An electronic timepiece, including: a reciprocating hand which is provided to be rotatable only within a partial angle range of a circle; and a processor which acquires information according to an operation of the reciprocating hand, and makes the reciprocating hand perform a predetermined notification operation when a destination of the reciprocating hand is out of the angle range, the destination being determined on the basis of the information.

A retrograde timepiece display mechanism for a watch including a wheel for displaying information, this display wheel being driven by a drive finger carried by a wheel driven by a horological movement, in order to change the information displayed by the retrograde timepiece display mechanism from one value to the immediately following value, this retrograde timepiece display mechanism including also an intermediate correction device to manually correct the information provided by the retrograde timepiece display mechanism by acting on a correction finger which drives the display wheel, the retrograde timepiece display mechanism also including a safety device arranged to allow blocking the intermediate correction device by preventing the correction finger from driving the display wheel during a period of time when the change in the information displayed by the retrograde timepiece display mechanism occurs and when the drive finger is engaged with the display wheel.

An electronic timepiece includes a power generator that generates electric energy, a power storage that stores the electric energy, a capacity detector that detects remaining capacity of the power storage, an operation unit, an operation detector that detects a measurement display operation for instructing the operation unit to display a measurement time, and a capacity display operation for instructing the operation unit to display the remaining capacity, an indicating hand that is used in displaying the measurement time and the remaining capacity, a drive unit that drives the indicating hand, and displays the remaining capacity after moving the indicating hand so as to indicate a preset reference position.

A watch includes a timepiece movement including a mechanism for displaying a time period or season which includes a first wheel which is provided in order to turn once in thirty-one days for displaying a day of the month, and a second wheel for displaying another time period or season. The second wheel turns more quickly than the first wheel for displaying this time period or season, and the second wheel is provided in order to be displaced from the first wheel, at the rate of one turn in a period of time between 340 days and 380 days.

An electronic watch having an altitude display mode of displaying an altitude, a compass display mode of displaying a direction, a barometric pressure display mode of displaying barometric pressure as display modes includes a dial face having an ALT area, a COM area, and a BAR area and a first pointer displaying the altitude display mode by pointing the ALT area, displaying the compass display mode by pointing the COM area, and displaying the barometric pressure display mode by pointing the BAR area. In the dial face, the ALT area, COM area, and BAR area are arranged in an order of the ALT area, COM area, and BAR area. In a turning direction of the first pointer, a distance between the ALT area and COM area and a distance between the COM area and BAR area are shorter than a distance between the ALT area and BAR area.

An improved minute countdown clock is provided that depicts the 24-hour day in terms of the number of remaining minutes, rather than in the standard 12-hour cycle. The present clock counts down the number of minutes that are left in the day, unlike a standard clock that depicts the amount of time that has passed in two separate cycles. The present invention may come in either analog or digital varieties. The present invention breaks time into smaller increments in order to reprogram individuals' concept and perception of passing time, to facilitate motivation to accomplish more goals, and finally to create a sense of value and ownership of personal time. Furthermore, the constant countdown creates a sense of urgency by helping people recognize that time is valuable and is lost once it passes.

A timekeeping device including a first dial including a plurality of first dial display regions, each of the plurality of first dial display regions disposed at an angle of 90-degrees with respect to each adjacent first dial display region and a center of the first dial, a second dial disposed adjacent the first dial and configured to rotate in two directions about a central axis of rotation of the second dial, and a set of two adjacent third dials disposed adjacent the second dial, each dial of the set of two adjacent third dials configured to rotate about a respective central axis of rotation, the set of two adjacent third dials each comprising indicia representing at least one value configured to represent a date of a month.

A watch includes an annular light emitting member and an annular cover member. At least part of the cover member covers the light emitting member in a planar view from above. The cover member has a slope inclined upward as extending inward from an outside of the watch in a lower portion. The slope of the cover member includes a first slope portion and a second slope portion, in a cross-sectional view from a planar direction orthogonal to a vertical direction. The first slope portion has a linear shape. The second slope portion is located below the first slope portion. The second slope portion has a curved shape.
