Patent number: 8113707Abstract: A device comprises a basic clock movement MB whose time indicators are driven by a first barrel connected to a first wheelwork and a first regulator organ, and an autonomous chronograph module MCA whose indicators are driven by a second barrel independent from the first, connected to a second wheelwork and a second regulator organ. The chronograph module is exclusively composed of mechanical elements. The frequency of oscillation supplied by its regulator is equal N times the frequency of oscillation supplied by the regulator of the base movement, with the coefficient N being definable according to a specific application of the chronograph, so that any chronograph module thus previously defined can work with the same base movement. The chronograph regulator remains constantly engaged with the corresponding wheelwork. The chronograph module allows a time interval to be read with a minimum precision of a hundredth of second.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2011Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: LVMH Swiss Manufactures SAInventor: Hugues Jolidon

Patent number: 7881161Abstract: A timepiece equipped with an alarm mechanism having a striking device and a minute repeater mechanism provided with a striking device. The two striking devices share at least one gong and one hammer. A power source can be locked when the mechanism is at rest and unlocked when the mechanism is in operation. An adjustment system can be used to program the alarm time. A trigger system includes a control member which controls the unlocking of the power source and a cam which is kinematically connected to the movement and performs one revolution every 24 hours. A first striking mechanism is equipped with at least one hammer arranged to strike at least one gong, and a supplemental striking mechanism is equipped with at least one hammer arranged to strike at least one non-resonant object, wherein the power source drives one or the other of these striking mechanisms.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2010Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: LVMH Swiss Manufactures SAInventors: Yves Corthesy, Jean-Pierre Charpier

Publication number: 20110019508Abstract: An arrangement for protecting a watch movement from shocks and vibrations comprises shock absorbers (2) for mounting the watch movement within the case (10). The shock absorber comprises a plurality of independent portions (21, 22) adapted for absorbing the energy from shocks and vibrations in different portions of the frequency spectrum. The rigidity of the shocks absorbers can be adjusted from outside the watch. The watch case is made up of a network of interconnected tubes and watertightening plates without mechanical functions connected to the tubes.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2010Publication date: January 27, 2011Applicant: LVMH SWISS MANUFACTURES SAInventors: Christoph Behling, Delphine CordiƩ
