  • Patent number: 11927918
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mechanism for displaying an information for a timepiece, comprising a mobile (10) intended to be driven in rotation by the movement of the timepiece about a display axis (17), a satellite (20) pivoted on the mobile (10) about a satellite axis (27) parallel to the display axis (17) and remote from a non-zero distance d1 thereof, a display area (80), an indicator (50) secured to the satellite (20) and the position of which relative to the display area (80) provides the information, and a crown (30) centered on the display axis (17) and kinematically connected to the satellite (20). The mechanism is particular in that the indicator (50) is located at a distance d2 from the satellite axis (27), which is greater than or equal to the distance d1.

  • Patent number: 11892804
    Abstract: Disclosed is a timepiece mechanism which has a mobile including a tooth of a first type and a tooth of a second type, and a pawl that is intended to move the mobile by at least one step on each actuation and has a travel that is liable to move the mobile by two steps on each actuation. This timepiece mechanism has a correction mobile designed to define different paths of the pawl, depending on the state thereof, the pawl and the correction mobile being designed such that, on each actuation of the pawl: the pawl moves the mobile by one step; and the pawl moves the mobile by an additional step only when the correction mobile is in a predefined state and the tooth of the second type is situated along the travel of the pawl.

  • Patent number: 11890779
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a manufacturing process for a watch component (50) in composite material with a ceramic matrix comprising the following steps: depositing in a mould a succession of layers (10, 20, 30, 40) each comprising a ceramic powder (12), at least one layer (10; 10, 30; 10, 20, 30, 40) further including fibres (14) mixed with the ceramic powder (12), the fibres (14) being arranged randomly; performing a FAST/SPS sintering operation; demoulding the sintered watch component comprising the succession of layers (10, 20, 30, 40), and optionally machining the sintered component to the final dimensions of the watch component (50). The fibres (14) are visible on the surface of the watch component (50).

  • Patent number: 11860583
    Abstract: An “all or nothing” actuating mechanism for a timepiece movement is described, which includes: an actuating lever that is able to move between an inactive position and an active position; a movable control lever for moving the actuating lever between its inactive and active positions; a return member for returning the control lever to its initial position; and a control member capable of pivoting between a first state in which it locks the actuating lever in its inactive position, and a second state, in which it releases the actuating lever to allow it to move to its active position. The control lever is arranged to be able to act on the control member, and move it from its first state to its second state, the actuating mechanism including a jumper tending to return the control member to its first state.

  • Patent number: 11550267
    Abstract: A device for adjusting horological functions of a timepiece, including a mechanism for selection and actuation, including: a drive driving a driving pinion in the clockwise and anti-clockwise directions, a driven pinion driven when the driving pinion turns clockwise and anti-clockwise, the driven pinion moving into a first position by the driving pinion turning clockwise, in which the driven pinion actuates an actuator of a first horological function, and moving into a second position by the driving pinion turning anti-clockwise, in which second position, the driven pinion actuates an actuator of a second horological function, the driven pinion not actuating the actuator of the first horological function when it is in its second position, and vice versa. The mechanism for selection and actuation includes at least two driven pinions, and the adjusting device includes a control mechanism selectively bringing the driving pinion into engagement with each of the driven pinions.

  • Patent number: 11550262
    Abstract: An escapement is disclosed which includes pallets, a roller and a pin fastened to the roller, intended to cooperate with one another. The pallets have no guard pin and include a pallet fork intended to cooperate with the pin and the roller and including first and second horns delimiting an entry of the pallet fork. The roller has an anti-overbanking wall in which a notch is formed, in a region adjacent to the pin. The pallets, the roller and the pin are conformed and dimensioned in such a manner that, in the service position, the anti-overbanking wall is able to define an abutment for the first and second horns, and each of the horns is able to penetrate to the interior of the notch exclusively when the pin is at least partly situated in the entry of the pallet fork.
