Abstract: A display mechanism a wheel carrying, constrained to rotate with it, a first wheel and a snail-shaped cam, the mechanism having an active first state in which the first wheel is driven in rotation by a driving wheel and a zero reset second state in which it is no longer driven to allow it to return to a predefined position, associated with a predefined position of the display member, the display mechanism further including a feeler-spindle adapted to cooperate with the perimeter of the cam, the feeler-spindle and the perimeter of the cam being adapted and sized so that the feeler-spindle exerts on the cam, in the second state, a return force having a non-radial component adapted to return the first wheel to its predefined position.

Abstract: A coupling system for a chronograph mechanism is presented. The system can include an input wheel intended to be driven by a drive member; an output wheel intended to drive at least one display member; an intermediate wheel continuously kinematically connected to the input wheel or the output wheel, where the intermediate wheel changes between a coupled state where the input wheel is kinematically connected to the output wheel and an uncoupled state where the kinematic connection is broken. The system also includes a first friction wheel constrained to rotate with the intermediate wheel and a second friction wheel constrained to rotate with either the input wheel and the output wheel; a first safety wheel constrained to rotate with said intermediate wheel that includes a first set of safety teeth; and a second safety wheel constrained to rotate with the second wheel that includes a second set of safety teeth.

Abstract: A coupling system for a chronograph mechanism, said system comprising: an input wheel intended to be driven by a drive member; an output wheel intended to drive at least one display member; an intermediate wheel continuously kinematically connected to a first wheel chosen from said input wheel and said output wheel, said intermediate wheel being mounted so that it can change between a coupled state in which said input wheel is kinematically connected to said output wheel and an uncoupled state in which said kinematic connection is broken.
