Timepiece comprising a variable-pitch display
A timepiece, that includes a display mechanism arranged to control the movements of a display organ with respect to an indication scale including different indications having at least two different widths and being separated from one another by corresponding separation spaces, where the separation spaces all have substantially one and the same width.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE, TIME CORRECTION METHOD, AND TIME CORRECTION PROGRAM
An electronic timepiece enables displaying multiple times and easily correcting the displayed time. An electronic device has a correction mode setting unit that sets a first time correction mode for adjusting a first time, or a second time correction mode for adjusting a second time, in response to a correction mode setting operation; and a display control unit that moves an indicator hand to a first indicated position indicating that the hands to be corrected are first hands when the first time correction mode is set, and moves the indicator hand to the second indicated position indicating that the hands to be corrected are second hands when the second time correction mode is set.
Timepiece
An analog electronic timepiece is an analog electronic watch capable of displaying a plurality of types of calendar information, and includes a first index adapted to indicate the type of the calendar information, and a second index adapted to indicate a value of the calendar information of the type indicated by the first index.
DRAGGING TYPE RETROGRADE HOROLOGICAL DISPLAY MECHANISM EQUIPPED WITH A DISPLAY DISCONNECTION LEVER
A dragging type retrograde horological display mechanism, arranged to successively display first and distinct indications in a retrograde manner, including a display wheel driven by a drive wheel; a pivoting holding element engaged in a toothing of a fixed display wheel; a return element that constrains a display pinion in rotation; a display disconnection lever including an elastic strip; when the retrograde horological display mechanism moves from the display of the last indication to the display of the next first indication, the holding element pivots, whereas the display disconnection lever is locked, such that the elastic strip becomes strained and the holding element is forced to be released from the toothing of the fixed display wheel, thus enabling the stress induced by the return element to relax and return the retrograde horological display mechanism in the retrograde direction in the initial position to display the first indication.
Wheel train device and timepiece
A wheel train device including a dial plate having a display area provided between a central portion and an outer peripheral portion, a wheel train section having a pointer wheel to which a pointer that moves above the display area is attached, a supporting member which supports the wheel train section in an area corresponding to the display area, and a plurality of shaft attachment holes which are provided in a plurality of positions of the supporting member and to which the pointer wheel is selectively attached in one of the plurality of positions.
MULTIPLE JUMP TIMEPIECE DISPLAY MECHANISM
A multiple jump timepiece display mechanism includes a continuously rotating control wheel arranged to drive an indicator wheel carrying a display, either directly by the value of an elementary pitch PE by a direct or indirect continuous cooperation between the control wheel and the indicator wheel, or indirectly through a multiplier mechanism, by the combination of a device for disengaging the elementary pitch drive mechanism, and by driving the indicator wheel, in at least one disengaging position, by this multiplier mechanism driving it by an increased pitch PM greater than the elementary pitch PE or a multiple thereof.
MECHANISM FOR DISPLAYING THE NUMBER OF THE WEEK FOR A TIMEPIECE
Disclosed is a mechanism for displaying the number of the week for fitting to a timepiece movement and including a starwheel for the weeks including 52 or 53 teeth, a rocker for the weeks including a flexible finger cooperating with the toothed arrangement of the weeks starwheel upon actuation of the rocker by a driving mobile, the one driving mobile driven by one step per day by the movement and to actuate the weeks rocker once every seven days upon passing from the last day of the week to the first. The driving mobile is a driving starwheel including seven teeth, six being so-called silent teeth which are arranged not to cooperate with the weeks rocker and one tooth is a driving tooth arranged to actuate the rocker once per week upon passing from the last day of the week to the first day of the week.
Retrograde display mechanism for horology
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.
ANTEROGRADE DISPLAY MECHANISM FOR TIMEPIECE
An anterograde display mechanism including: a first wheel driven by a horological movement; a second wheel coaxial with the first wheel and linked to the first wheel by an elastic organ; a first intermediate wheel driven directly by the first wheel and which directly drives a third wheel bearing a display organ; the third wheel including a smooth angular sector where at least two teeth are truncated; a fourth wheel coaxial and rigidly connected in rotation with the third wheel, the fourth wheel meshing the second wheel via a second intermediate wheel; the anterograde display mechanism being configured so that the rotational speed of the second wheel is less than the rotational speed of the first wheel when the display organ is driven in the angular movements thereof by successive short jumps of an angle (α) between two guide-marks separated by the first angle (α).
ON-DEMAND HOROLOGICAL DISPLAY MECHANISM
On-demand horological display mechanism, including a plurality of primary mechanisms each capable of determining the value of a variable, and at least one actuator that can be maneuvered by a user for the selection of the display of the instantaneous values of a specific variable determined by one of the primary mechanisms, each display being performed by the cooperation of a moveable display including a hand or a disc, with a complementary display including at least one graduated index, where the display and/or the complementary display is common to all of the displays that the display mechanism may produce.
