LUNISOLAR CALENDAR DISPLAY MECHANISM FOR A CLOCKWORK MOVEMENT, CORRESPONDING CLOCKWORK MOVEMENT AND CORRESPONDING TIMEPIECE
This relates to a calendar display mechanism for a clockwork movement, including a day-of-the-month wheel intended to actuate a month wheel at the end of each month, the month wheel including a year cam that has n series of graduations, each of which is associated with a particular year, each series of graduations having a number m of graduations corresponding to the number of months in the associated year, the display mechanism including a rotatable month lever which supports a month feeler-spindle thereon which remains in contact with the year cam so as to define the angular orientation of the month lever, the lever also having a kinematic connection to a month display wheel so as to cause the wheel to perform a retrograde movement.
Annual calendar for mechanical watches
A date display device with an annual calendar function comprises the following elements: a drive wheel (8) which is coupled to a mechanical movement, a driving device which is driven by the drive wheel (8), a date wheel (4) which periodically interacts with the driving device and is driven by this and a month wheel (5) which is periodically interacts with the date wheel, as well as a month cam disc (6) which is connected to the month wheel. The driving device comprises a driver (8.1) and a rotation axis (8.3), wherein the driver moves on a path about the rotation axis (8.3) of the driving device and the rotation axis adopts at least two different positions relative to the date wheel (4), wherein in a first position, the driving device advances the date wheel by a single unit and in a second position by a plurality of units and wherein the adopted position depends on the number of days of the month concerned.
Indicator device for watchmaking
An indicator device for watchmaking has a drive toothed wheel which rotates a driven programme wheel is substantially a circular crown with an external toothing and an internal toothing. The latter meshes with an eccentric internal toothed wheel whose cycloidal rotary movement with a suitable transmission ratio allows the information given on the programme wheel to be indicated. The device is suitable for making perpetual calendars of the clocks.
Annual or perpetual calendar mechanism and timepiece comprising the same
In an annual or perpetual calendar mechanism, a day-of-the-month wheel includes a notch. At each actuation of a lever, a first pawl finger effects an actuation of one step, on one of the teeth of the day-of-the-month wheel. Upon actuation of the lever at the end of a month of fewer than 31 days, a second pawl finger effects, in the notch, an actuation of the day-of-the-month wheel by a whole number of steps. The notch is positioned between two consecutive teeth among the teeth of the day-of-the-month wheel. The day-of-the-month wheel has a peripheral edge which forms the profiles of its teeth as well as the notch.
Annual or perpetual calendar mechanism and timepiece comprising the same
In an annual or perpetual calendar mechanism, a lever bears a maneuvering device of a day-of-the-month wheel. A month wheel defines course beginning stops, each associated with a month and operational for controlling a course beginning position of the lever when the month wheel is in the angular position associated with this month. These course beginning stops are bottoms of slots alternating with the teeth of the month wheel. The month wheel has a peripheral edge which forms the profile of its teeth as well as the course beginning stops.
TIMEPIECE CALENDAR SYSTEM
A timepiece calendar system (100) including:a date mobile (1);a first device (3) for indexing the position of the date mobile;a second device (4) for indexing the position of the date mobile;an element (70, 3b, 4b, 40) for activating and deactivating at least one of the first and second indexing devices, the indexing of the date mobile by one or the other of the first and second indexing devices being mutually exclusive.
HOROLOGY CALENDAR SYSTEM
A horology calendar system (100; 200) comprising: a date display member (10) including an opening (10a); and a month display member (30) arranged in such a way as to display an indication of the month in the opening (10a), notably when the opening (10a) is visible to a user of the calendar system and/or when the calendar system is indicating the first day of a given month.
Head-to-tail flexible guide assembly for a horological movement, in particular for a display device
A flexible guide assembly for a horological movement, in particular for a display device of the horological movement, the assembly including two flexible guides arranged in series in a substantially head-to-tail manner, the first flexible guide including a support and a first movable element that is capable of moving relative to the support, as well as a first elongate, flexible body connecting the support to the first movable element, such that the first movable element can move by bending the first elongate, flexible body in a circular motion, the second flexible guide including a second movable element capable of moving relative to the first movable element and to the support of the first flexible guide, a second elongate, flexible body connecting the second movable element to the first movable element.
Islamic Hijiri calendar
The invention relates to an Islamic Hijiri calendar for a mechanical clockwork movement comprising a 30-position date indicator arranged to be driven by a date-driving mechanism and to engage with a large rocker (7). A month control mechanism is arranged to differentiate between the months with 29 days and those with 30 days. A year control mechanism is arranged to differentiate between an abundant year and a common year. During a common year, a large rocker (7) is arranged to engage with a date star (9), to move two teeth of the date star (9) in order to move from the 29th of a month to the 1st of the following month, the large rocker (7) resting on the month cam (4).
