Abstract: Mechanism for controlling the function of an analogue watch permitting the display of the state of at least one of the functions.It comprises a disc 16 for displaying the states; a lever 8 articulated to the pull-out piece 6 and on which a push button 18 acts; a pawl 10 articulated at the end of the lever 8; a wheel 12 meshing with the wheel 14 which bears the disc 16. For one position of the pull-out piece 6, the push button 18 moves the lever 8 in such manner that the pawl 10 causes the rotation of the wheel 12 and of the indicator 16. For the other positions, the push button 18 has no effect.

Abstract: The watch, as exemplified by FIG. 6, comprises a motor 9 which drives the hands of a timepiece mechanism and a motor 15 which advances those of a chronographic mechanism. When the timepiece mechanism is in operation, a counter 98 receives every six seconds a pulse which opens a gate 85 which passes a pulse of 32 Hz and causes the shaft of the motor 9 to advance one step. When the stopwatch mechanism is in operation, a counter 78 receives ten pulses per second; every ten pulses it sends a pulse to the motor 15 and drives the chronographic second hand. When the chronographic mechanism is stopped, this second hand shows the seconds of chronometric time, the supplementary tenths of seconds being stored in the counter 78. The state of this counter 78 is compared with the state of an UP-DOWN counter 86 which determines the position of the second hand of the timepiece mechanism.
