Watch mechanism
Watch mechanism (100) including an element for the display of time, first and second elements (Q, PDL) for the display of first and second pieces of watch information derived from time, the mechanism including: a first kinematic chain (CC1) for the simultaneous correction of time display, and the display of the first and second pieces of watch information; a second kinematic chain (CC2) for the correction of the time display independently of the display of the second piece of watch information, and a third kinematic chain (CC3) for the correction of the display of the second piece of watch information independently of the time display and the display of the first piece of watch information. The third chain includes an epicyclic gear train (TE) connected kinematically to the element (H) for the time display by a notched wheel (MC) included in the first and second kinematic chains.
Mechanical timepiece movement with a lever escapement
The mechanical timepiece movement includes an escapement having a pallet-lever arranged to move alternately into abutment with two banking elements in locking periods. The pallet-lever carries at least a first permanent magnet and the timepiece movement further includes a first element and a second element of high magnetic permeability and a second magnet and a third magnet respectively integral with first and second elements of high magnetic permeability and each arranged on an opposite side to a first magnet relative to the respective elements of high magnetic permeability. This magnetic system generates, in a first part of a first half vibration of any vibration of the pallet-lever, an overall force of magnetic attraction, defining a magnetic draw additional to the mechanical draw generated by the escape wheel, and, in a second part of this first half vibration, an overall force of magnetic repulsion.
