TIMEPIECE CONTROL DEVICE
The timepiece control device (100) for a timepiece movement (200) has a frame (99), a control stem (1) having an axis (A1), a first pinion (4) that can be actuated in rotation by the control stem (1) and is adapted to be connected to at least one first mechanism (80, 70), in particular at least one first mechanism (80, 70) for correction of an indicator member, and a second pinion (6) that can be actuated in rotation by the control stem (1) and is adapted to be moved axially both relative to the control stem (1) and relative to the frame (99) and to be connected to a second mechanism (90), in particular a winding mechanism (90).
Time zone correction mechanism for a timepiece
A timepiece time zone correction mechanism is equipped with a manual control device including two counteracting manual corrector actuators setting in motion a time zone corrector associated therewith including a beak which is configured to bear against a relief of a time zone correction wheel assembly and to cause the assembly to move. The assembly includes a regularly spaced toothing having a first drive level from which a plurality of successive teeth are missing and replaced by a first clearance, and a second drive level parallel to the first drive level, and from which a plurality of successive teeth are missing and replaced by a second clearance. The first clearance and the second clearance are not superimposed with one another. Each time zone corrector cooperates with a single drive level, from among the first drive level and the second drive level, of the time zone correction wheel assembly.

Device for manually controlling a mechanism for a timepiece
A device for manually controlling a timepiece mechanism includes two counteracting manual corrector actuators to be operated by a user and to control a correction wheel set in opposing movements. Each actuator sets in motion an associated corrector having a beak to bear against a relief of the correction wheel set and to cause the correction wheel set to move when the actuator is moved over its full path of travel. The manual control device includes a locking lever mechanism arranged to prohibit an action of one of the actuators on the correction wheel set when the other actuator is engaged and interacting with the correction wheel set. The locking lever mechanism includes a locking lever driven in rotation during the engagement of one of the actuators to limit the travel of the other actuator and to prevent the corrector associated therewith from accessing the correction wheel set.

Timepiece comprising a calendar mechanism and a mechanism for correcting the date or month
The present invention relates to a timepiece comprising an at least annual date mechanism (1) which comprises a month-management cam (2), a large lever (4) arranged to cooperate with said month-management cam, a date-indicating mechanism, a month-indicating mechanism, and at least one mechanism for independent correction of the date or month comprising at least one date-correcting or month-correcting member, respectively, arranged to cooperate with said date-indicating or month-indicating mechanism, respectively. The date-correcting or month-correcting mechanism, respectively, comprises a date-correcting cam (50) or a month-correcting cam (22), respectively, mounted so as to be freely rotatable, a date-correcting or month-correcting stem, respectively, which can be rotated in order to rotate the date-correcting cam (50) or the month-correcting cam (22), respectively, said date-correcting cam (50) or month-correcting cam (22), respectively, being arranged so as to, during rotation thereof, drive the large lever (4) in order to isolate said large lever (4) at least from the month-management cam (2) before the date or month is corrected, respectively, and to drive the actuation of the date-correcting or month-correcting member, respectively, in order to subsequently correct the date or month, respectively, the rotation of the date-correcting or month-correcting cam, respectively, being controlled solely by rotation of the date-correcting or month-correcting stem, respectively.
