ELECTRONIC CLOCK MOVEMENT COMPRISING AN ANALOG DISPLAY OF SEVERAL ITEMS OF INFORMATION

An electronic clock mechanism includes an analog display device including a ring of dates and a stopwatch hand associated with a graduation of a small counter. The ring and hand are driven by a same electric motor via a permanent gear train, the hand being mounted on a wheel of the permanent gear train, the wheel arranged between a motor pinion and a movable element including a date driving wheel. The ring and date driving wheel respectively include two sets of teeth forming a permanent gear having a relatively large clearance to define a dead angle region for the date driving wheel as the ring is positioned by a jumper. The dead angle region is used to drive the stopwatch hand independently of the ring. The permanent gear train is arranged such that torque for positioning the rotor creates for the date driving wheel a blocking torque for shock-resistance.

Timepiece movement including an analogue display drive device

Timepiece movement including a date display drive device formed of a display disc including a toothing, said drive device including driving means and a drive source. The driving means includes a wheel set including pins, having a toothed wheel and a pinion including pins, and an engaging wheel engaging said toothed wheel. The pinion with pins includes a pair of pins configured to be positioned on either side of any tooth of the toothing. The toothed wheel of the pin wheel and the engaging wheel respectively have complementary non-circular profiles. When the two pins are oriented in a tangential direction to the toothing, these two wheels have a first gear ratio that is lower than a second gear ratio between them when the two pins are in perpendicular alignment to said tangential direction.

Information display mechanism, timepiece movement, and timepiece

There are provided an information display mechanism, a timepiece movement, and a timepiece each capable of achieving a reduction in space. The information display mechanism includes a display wheel which has a plurality of inner teeth, on which information is displayed, and which has a ring-like shape, a driving wheel having a plurality of tooth parts configured to mesh with the inner teeth, and a drive section configured to rotate the driving wheel. The driving wheel is configured to rotate in a state in which the tooth parts and the inner teeth mesh with each other to thereby rotate the display wheel. The display wheel is provided with a regulatory protruding part configured to regulate mesh with the driving wheel. The drive section is configured to rotate the driving wheel in a first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction.
