  • Patent number: 8339900
    Abstract: The analogue display watch includes two separate time displays (40, 44) for first and second time zones, and a time zone indicator (50), which includes a place ring (53) associated with two apertures (51, 52) shifted angularly by 1/24th of a revolution, and one of which is used in combination with winter time and the other with daylight saving time (DST). A first, manual, time-setting device (31) can simultaneously set the time of the first and second time displays (40, 44). A second, manual, time-setting device can rotate the second time display (44) and the time zone indicator (50) together, step-by-step, without changing the state of the first time display (40). A manual corrector (34, 63) rotates the place ring (53) step-by-step without changing the state of the first and second time displays (40, 44).

  • Patent number: 7839724
    Abstract: A calendar date display comprises a ten-day indicator (2) and a unit indicator (1) driven by a program drive (8), which is provided with a calendar date display (9) whose toothing is engaged with the beak (15) of a lever (16) in such a way that a wheel is moved one step forward by one date number change. Between each calendar number change, the beak (15) is engaged between the first and second teeth (11, 12) of the wheel (9). At the time of the calendar number change, the beak (15) is disengaged from said first and second teeth (11, 12) in such a way that it is engaged between the second and third (12, 13) teeth of the wheel (9), thereby moving said wheel one step forward.

  • Patent number: 7641023
    Abstract: The invention concerns a sound generator mechanism including a control member (10) and a mechanism (14) for locking/unlocking the control member (10), the control member (10) being able to move between a first position in which the control member is held by the locking/unlocking member (14) and in which it holds the vibrating member (12) away from the rest position thereof, and a second position wherein the control member is released by the locking/unlocking mechanism (14) and wherein it simultaneously releases the vibrating member (12), which starts to vibrate and to produce a sound.

  • Publication number: 20080245105
    Abstract: The bracelet is formed of a plurality of links (4, 5) assembled in an articulated manner by means of pins (8). Each pins passes through the interlocking parts of links in which a cylindrical passage is arranged where a pin can slide relatively freely. In order to ensure the position of the pin once the links have been assembled, a locking element (12) is arranged in a cavity (18) made in one of the links so as to partially intersect the passage in which the pin is arranged. This pin includes a groove (22) which an external part (35) of the locking element penetrates when the element is in the closed position. Pressing on the locking element then rotating it through an angle of 90° releases the external part of the pin groove such that the pin is then released. The pin locking device thus allows the links to be assembled in a reversible manner and the length of the bracelet to be varied by adding or removing at least one link.
