TIMEPIECE MOVEMENT AND MECHANICAL TIMEPIECE
Provided is a timepiece movement that can improve the freedom of design in the layout of a small seconds hand. The timepiece movement has a barrel complete; a wheel train including multiple wheels that turn in conjunction with the barrel complete; an escape wheel that turns in conjunction with the barrel complete; and a small seconds wheel that turns in conjunction with the escape wheel and has a small seconds hand attached thereto. The escape wheel includes a first pinion that mates with a wheel of the wheel train, and a second pinion that mates with the toothed part of the small seconds wheel.
Mechanical clockwork movement with a tourbillon
A timepiece with a tourbillon unit, including a base plate, cage placed rotatably on the base plate and being connected to a fourth pinion, a balance placed on the cage, and an escape wheel that is placed on the cage and that is in work connection with the balance, a balance stop device being capable to be brought into engagement with the balance, wherein it further includes a zero-setting device for the angular orientation of the cage.
Mechanical clockwork movement with an adjustable tourbillon
A clockwork movement with a tourbillon unit, including a base plate, a mobile cage mounted rotatably on the base plate and connected to a second pinion, a balance mounted on the mobile cage and an escape wheel mounted on the mobile cage and being in operative connection with the balance, a balance wheel stop mechanism being capable to be brought into engagement with the balance, wherein it further includes a setting mechanism controlled by an external actuating device for any angular orientation of the mobile cage.
TIMEPIECE INCLUDING A DISPLAY MEMBER FOR DISPLAYING A LOCAL TIME HT AND A DISPLAY MEMBER FOR DISPLAY
A timepiece includes a first member for displaying a local time, a second member for displaying a GMT time, a drive wheel and pinion of the first display member, a first correction mechanism arranged to be able to be kinematically linked to the drive wheel and pinion to allow simultaneous correction of the local time and the GMT time, a second correction mechanism of the second display member, arranged to correct the GMT time independently of the local time, a drive mechanism of the second display member including a differential gear including a first input arranged to be kinematically linked to the drive wheel and pinion of the first display member, a second input arranged to be kinematically linked to the second correction mechanism of the second display member, an output arranged to drive the second display member, and a geartrain mounted in parallel with the drive mechanism.
MECHANICAL CLOCKWORK MOVEMENT WITH AN ADJUSTABLE TOURBILLON
A clockwork movement with a tourbillon unit, including a base plate, a mobile cage mounted rotatably on the base plate and connected to a second pinion, a balance mounted on the mobile cage and an escape wheel mounted on the mobile cage and being in operative connection with the balance, a balance wheel stop mechanism being capable to be brought into engagement with the balance, wherein it further includes a setting mechanism controlled by an external actuating device for any angular orientation of the mobile cage.
MECHANICAL CLOCKWORK MOVEMENT WITH A TOURBILLON
A timepiece with a tourbillon unit, including a base plate, cage placed rotatably on the base plate and being connected to a fourth pinion, a balance placed on the cage, and an escape wheel that is placed on the cage and that is in work connection with the balance, a balance stop device being capable to be brought into engagement with the balance, wherein it further includes a zero-setting device for the angular orientation of the cage.
TIMEPIECE DRIVING DEVICE
Timepiece driving device (100), in particular for an instantaneous jump calendar system, the device including; an input mobile (13); a main cam (11) having a main cam profile, and connected to the input mobile either (i) with angular backlash or (ii) via a unidirectional coupling; an auxiliary cam (12) connected to the input mobile, and having an auxiliary cam profile; a cam follower (21) adapted to cooperate with the main cam profile and/or with the auxiliary cam profile; and an energy accumulator (22) elastically biasing the cam follower toward the main cam profile and toward the auxiliary cam profile, the timepiece driving device (100) being arranged so that the cam follower (21) comes substantially into contact with the auxiliary cam profile immediately at the end of the driving of the main cam (11) by action of the energy accumulator (22) on the main cam (11) via the cam follower (21).
Device for selecting timepiece functions
A device (200; 200) for selecting timepiece functions, including a setting lever device (150; 150) and a frame (100; 100), the setting lever device (150; 150) comprising-including a setting lever (2; 2) mounted movably on the frame (100; 100) and a lever (3; 3) mounted movably on the frame (100; 100) or on the setting lever (2; 2), the selection device (200; 200) also including a first position indexing device (4; 4) arranged so as to act on the setting lever (2; 2), and a second position indexing device (5; 5) arranged so as to act on the lever (3; 3).
