A system for adjusting the angular position of a first toothed wheel set relative to a support on which the first toothed wheel set is mounted such that it can pivot. The adjusting system includes an adjusting member allowing an action to be applied to an angular position of the first toothed wheel set so as to adjust the angular position of the first toothed wheel set relative to the support. A timepiece can include such an adjusting system.

A watch includes a timepiece movement including a mechanism for displaying a time period or season which includes a first wheel which is provided in order to turn once in thirty-one days for displaying a day of the month, and a second wheel for displaying another time period or season. The second wheel turns more quickly than the first wheel for displaying this time period or season, and the second wheel is provided in order to be displaced from the first wheel, at the rate of one turn in a period of time between 340 days and 380 days.

A timepiece movement with a movable element capable of being momentarily immobilized in any one of N discrete positions, and with a device including a lever and a first magnet integral with the lever, with N second magnets integral with the movable element and arranged along an axis of displacement, and with a magnetically permeable element arranged facing one polar end of the first magnet located on the side of the movable element. The polarity of the first magnet is reversed with respect to that of the second magnets. A first magnetic torque exerted on the lever has a first direction over a first section and a second direction, opposite to the first direction, over a second section of the distance between two successive stable positions, the first direction defining a return torque towards the movable element for a contact portion of the lever.

An instantaneous date control device for a timepiece, in particular for a mechanical wristwatch, comprising: a date disc, a gear train forming a kinematic linkage between the control device and a horological movement of said timepiece, a first mobile comprising a first toothed wheel driven at a speed of one turn per day and a cam mounted freely rotatably, over a limited angular range and/or in a single direction of rotation, as well as temporarily coupled in rotation to said first toothed wheel, a second mobile comprising a second toothed wheel driven at a speed of one turn per day, an unlocking and driving yoke carrying a feeler bearing on said cam and a driving finger which can mesh with teeth located on the date disc, an unlocking and driving spring, and a retaining means allowing to secure the angular position of the date disc between two instantaneous jumps.

A system adjusts the angular position of a first toothed wheel set relative to a support on which the first toothed wheel set is mounted such that it can pivot. The adjusting system includes an adjusting member allowing an action to be applied to an angular position of the first toothed wheel set to adjust the angular position of the first toothed wheel set relative to the support. The invention adjusting system can be incorporated into a timepiece.

A timepiece movement includes a date ring having display positions, and a device for positioning the ring in a display position. The positioning device includes a lever and a first fixed magnet, a second magnet integral with the lever and a magnetic structure integral with the ring and moving between the two magnets, this magnetic structure being formed of a magnetically permeable material and having a radial dimension that varies periodically to define periods corresponding to the distances between the display positions. The magnetic axes of the two magnets are substantially aligned and their respective polarities are opposite. The magnetic torque applied to the lever can vary, so that it is pressed against the ring in the display positions but tends to move away from the ring on one part of the angular movement between these display positions.

A timepiece display mechanism including at least a first retrograde drive device for a first display member displaying a first magnitude, and a second retrograde drive device for a second display member displaying a second magnitude, the first retrograde drive device including a first drive rack to exert on a first wheel set driving the first display member, an opposite force to a resistance force exerted by a first return rack, the second retrograde drive device including a second drive rack to exert on a second wheel set driving the second display member, an opposite force to a resistance force exerted by a second return rack, wherein the pivot axes of the first drive rack and of the first return rack are remote, and/or the pivot axes of the second drive rack and of the second return rack are remote.

A timepiece display mechanism including a barrel with a spring between the arbor of a first wheel set driven by a drive wheel set, and a drum carrying a peripheral snail cam traversed by a feeler controlling the periodic jump of a display member, this drum carrying an peripheral finger outside the trajectory of this feeler, this first wheel set including an eccentric crank pin permanently guiding a groove to control the periodic back and forth motions of a pivoting anchor piece, which includes, on either side of an anchor piece axis, a beak and a stop for stopping or releasing this finger depending on the angular position of this anchor piece, the angular travel of each finger between its release by this beak and return to abutment on this stop defining the jump duration.

Display mechanism (10) for a timepiece (1000), with a leap year display integrated in a month display, comprising a control mechanism (3) that drives, once per month, about an axis (D), a month display wheel set (2) arranged underneath a dial (1), having a month window (1C) in a quadrant allowing the display of only one quarter of the month display wheel set (2), which completes one revolution in four years, and bears, on an angular sector of 90?, at least one characteristic leap year marking, and either carries indices, each arranged to indicate one month on a static month scale of the dial (1), or equidistant month markings, wherein one of the month markings is pointed to by a fixed mark of the dial (1).

The timepiece movement includes a date ring having a plurality of display positions, and a device for positioning said ring in any one of the display positions. The positioning device comprises a lever and a magnetic system formed of a first fixed magnet, a second magnet integral with the lever and a magnetic structure integral with the ring and moving between the two magnets, this magnetic structure being formed of a highly magnetically permeable material and having a radial dimension that varies periodically to define a plurality of periods which correspond to the distances between the display positions. The magnetic axes of the two magnets are substantially aligned and their respective polarities are opposite. During the driving of the ring, the magnetic torque that is applied to the lever varies, so that it is pressed against the ring in the display positions but tends to move away from the ring on one part of the angular movement between these display positions.
