The invention concerns a device for holding a wheel set of a timepiece movement comprising a lever, intended to be mounted to slide via guide means on the main plate of the timepiece movement between a first and a second position.

According to the invention, the lever comprises, at a first end, a locking beak intended to cooperate with means for holding the wheel set to hold and to guide the wheel set in rotation in the first position and to leave the wheel set free in the second position, the lever being arranged to be able to move in translation, between the first position, called the retracted position, and the second position, called the deployed position.

The present invention relates to collection of water after being exposed to the moonlight. The water resource for exposure under moonlight over any period of time and the storage of such collected water so obtained from any resource. The water resource collected and composed of but not limited to collection of water from resources like river, spring, rain, snow, well water, tap water, distilled bottled water, that is accumulated. The period during which water is exposed to the moonlight can have a combination of significance but not limited to: zodiac, religious, astronomical, calendar, astrological, numerology etc. Further, the exposed water obtained is packed and labeled based on the religious, astronomical, astrological, numerological significance classified or falling under the time when the water resource or the water stored in the container is exposed to the source of moonlight. The water resource collected and composed of but not limited to collection of water from resources like river, spring, rain, snow, tap water, dew, distilled bottled water, well water that is accumulated or placed.

A timepiece display mechanism includes a rotating display member for displaying a magnitude other than the current time of day, or a position in a cycle. The rotating display member is integral in rotation with a snail cooperating with the beak of a striking rack included in a striking mechanism integrated in or juxtaposed with this display mechanism, to strike a numerical value characteristic of this magnitude, or respectively of this position. The display mechanism is more particularly a chronograph mechanism including a seconds snail integral with a main chronograph wheel, for counting the seconds and cooperating with a seconds rack, and a minute snail integral with a minute counter wheel for counting the minutes and cooperating with a minute rack, in order, after timing a duration, to strike the minutes and seconds of the timed duration.

A display mechanism for n moonphases for a timepiece, where n≥3, includes a first wheel and pinion having a night-time background and a portion of lunar background and a second wheel and pinion superposed on the first, the second having a night-time background and moonphase profiles, with the first and second pivoting about one axis. The first wheel and pinion is driven at a constant velocity, and that the second can be driven in rotation at the same velocity and direction as the first during a moonphase display period during which a portion of lunar background of the first and a moonphase profile of the second corresponding to the moonphase to be displayed are superposed, revealing the moonphase. The second wheel and pinion is offset from the first by a repositioning angle during a transitional period between the current and following display periods, revealing the following moonphase.
