PORTABLE DEVICE COMPRISING DECORATIVE ELEMENTS DRIVEN BY INVISIBLE DRIVING MEANS, IN A LIQUID
A decorative, wearable system includes at least one decorative element mechanically and moveably suspended in a liquid by mechanical fixation elements and actuated by invisible mechanism(s). The liquid shares a substantially similar refraction index as at least one of mechanical fixation elements and/or actuation mechanisms.
Device for selecting a combination of patterns and timepiece comprising such a device
A device for selecting a combination of patterns for a timepiece, including an inner disc including N angular sectors of the same size, each bearing a symbol on its periphery, with N being a whole number greater than 1; an outer disc coaxial to the inner disc and with a larger diameter, the outer disc bearing M symbols distributed over M*N angular sectors of the same size, with M being a whole number greater than 1, each of the M symbols of the outer disc being repeated on N consecutive sectors of the outer disc; a dial extending opposite the inner disc, the dial including an aperture allowing a pattern of the inner disc to be matched with a pattern of the outer disc; an activation device allowing the inner disc to rotate and a meshing device coupling the two discs according to a speed reducing ratio M.
DEVICE FOR DISPLAYING AN INDICATION OF TIME OR DERIVED FROM THE TIME AND INDEXING DEVICE
A device (100) for display of an indication of the time or derived from the time includes: a first display mobile unit (10) including a first toothing (11b), a second toothing (11c) and a first disk (12) carrying digits (13) intended to indicate the units of indication of time or derived from time; a second display mobile unit (20) including a third toothing (21b), a fourth toothing (21c) and a second disk (22) carrying digits (23) intended to indicate the tens of indication of time or derived from time; and a mechanism (90) for driving the first and second mobile that includes a command mobile unit (30) including a fifth toothing (30a) adapted to cooperate by obstacle, in particular by meshing, with the first and third toothings, and a second command mobile unit (40) including a sixth toothing (40a) adapted to cooperate by obstacle with the second and fourth toothings.
DISPLAY MECHANISM
Disclosed is a display mechanism for a timepiece movement including a first display wheel and a second display wheel, which are arranged to be coplanar, characterised in that the first and second display wheels are further arranged to be pivoted with respect to each other by way of at least one ball bearing.
DIGITAL DISPLAY AND DIGITAL TIME DEVICE
A digital display and a digital time device are provided, which includes a housing, a drive assembly, display assemblies and a mainboard assembly. The housing is provided with seven windows arranged to form the shape of the character “”. The mainboard assembly is fixedly connected to the housing and is located behind the windows. Seven curved grooves are provided inside of the drive assembly. The display assemblies include display sheets and pull rods. One end of each pull rod is fixedly connected to the display sheets. The display sheets are slidingly connected to the mainboard assembly. There are seven display assemblies. Each pull rod is slidingly connected to the curved grooves in one-to-one correspondence, and each display sheet is one-to-one correspondence with the windows. The present invention can achieve many advantages, such as low power consumption, great waterproof, strong moisture resistance capabilities and high stability.

Timepiece
A wristwatch (an example of a timepiece) includes a small dial (an example of a dial) and a rotary disk (an example of a rotary member). The small dial includes a sun mark for displaying the state of the sun. The rotary disk covers the small dial and rotates in a 24-hour period. The rotary disk includes the sun state indicator that changes the visibility of the sun mark in accordance with the rotational position of the rotary disk. One of the small dial and the rotary member includes a plurality of numbers (an example of indexes) for indicating time. The other of the small dial and the rotary member includes a time indicator that indicates a number in accordance with the rotational position of the rotary disk. The time indicator and the sun state indicator are disposed relative to each other in a positional relationship such that the visibility of the sun mark by the sun state indicator corresponds to the state of the sun corresponding to the number indicated by the time indicator.
Temporal calendar timepiece
A timepiece includes at least one time-of-day hand rotatable relative to a first dial and a first pair of temporal calendar mechanical elements independently rotatable relative to each other, and relative to the at least one time-of-day hand. Controlled rotation of the respective temporal calendar mechanical elements is synchronizable relative to temporal calendar information on an external device.

Device for selection of a combination of motifs, and timepiece comprising a device of this type
A device for selection of a combination of motifs for a timepiece, including an inner disc, and a coaxial outer disc, the inner disc having a smaller diameter than the outer disc, the discs including angular sectors of the same size, at least two angular sectors of each disc bearing a motif on their periphery; a device for actuation permitting rotation of the inner disc, and a gear device for coupling the two discs according to a reduction ratio; a dial extending opposite the inner disc, the dial including an aperture to put a motif of the inner disc and a motif of the outer disc into correspondence, such that a complete rotation of the inner disc gives rise to a rotation of the outer disc by one angular sector, the size of the aperture being sufficiently large for each motif of the outer disc to be in correspondence successively with all the motifs of the inner disc, when the inner disc is rotated.
