Large date calendar display mechanism and timepiece comprising same
11543777 · 2023-01-03 · ·

A date calendar display mechanism driven via a kinematic chain by a horological movement of a timepiece. A first and second date indicators, the first date indicator remaining still during a 24-hour period separating the passage from the last day of a month having 31 days to the end of the first day of the following month, the kinematic chain including a wheel continuously engaged with the horological movement and having a toothing via which the wheel meshes with a pinion which contributes to driving the first indicator, the wheel being, at one point, devoid of teeth such that, during the above 24-hour period, the wheel does not mesh with the pinion and remains still. A dual jumper pivots about an axis with a first beak via which it is engaged with a toothing of the first date indicator and, at a second beak via which it is engaged with a toothing of the pinion, the dual jumper being elastically held engaged with the first date indicator and with the pinion.

DEVICE FOR FASTENING A DISC

A fastening method is for fastening at least one display element of a watch using a fastening device. Indeed, the at least one display element is fastened thanks to the fastening method via the fastening device. For this, it is necessary to provide the at least one display element, at least one movement, and at least one split ring, then to deform the at least one split ring so as to adapt to the at least one display element before fastening the at least one split ring with the at least one display element to the at least one movement.
