Optical communication device of a wearable object

A timepiece includes a case in which an electronic module supplying at least one item of information is arranged. The at least one item of information is displayed on a dial by a display. The electronic module also includes a communication unit having an optical receiving device. The optical receiving device includes at least one photoelectric receiver arranged to face a first aperture formed on the dial so that an optical signal can be received by the optical receiver.

UNIVERSAL MOON PHASE DISPLAY

Universal moon phase display device for a watch, comprising first means for calculating or receiving the date and second means for receiving a geolocation signal, and third means for calculating or receiving a lunar calendar with the correlation between the date of the moon phase, position calculating means arranged to convert the day's moon phase into a first angular position of a first display member comprised in this device and which comprises a representation of the normal moon, and further arranged to determine the northern or southern hemisphere in which this device is located, to control the direction of rotation of first drive means comprised in this device in order to drive the first display member in opposite directions in the northern hemisphere and in the southern hemisphere.

Timepiece movement including an analogue display

The timepiece movement is provided with an analog display device for an item of information whose value varies periodically or intermittently, this analog display device including an indicator for said information provided with a toothing and a mechanism for the periodic or intermittent driving of the indicator, this mechanism comprising a rotating wheel set whose pinion, in a meshing relationship with the toothing, is formed of two pins which are diametrically opposite relative to the rotational axis of the rotating wheel set, these two pins being configured to alternately penetrate successive hollows in the toothing and to form a self-locking system when the timepiece movement is subjected to shocks. Each of the two pins has, in a general plane of the toothing perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotating wheel set, a transverse profile having a first outer portion substantially in the arc of a circle centered on the axis of rotation.
