Patent number: 6708576Abstract: The escapement includes first (3) and second (4) escapement wheels meshing with each other, one of these wheels being driven by the gear train. It further includes a lever (5) capable of receiving the impulses generated alternately by the first and second wheels and to transmit these impulses to a plate (2) which carries a sprung-balance. The lever is arranged to lock alternately the first and second wheels after each impulse transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2001Date of Patent: March 23, 2004Assignee: Ulysse Nardin S.A.Inventor: Ludwig Oechslin

Patent number: 6301981Abstract: The escapement (10) includes first (6) and second (7) wheels meshing with each other. One (6) of these wheels is driven by the gear train. First (9) and second (11) rollers secured to a common arbor (1) support a sprung balance. The wheels (6, 7) and the first roller (9) are provided with means allowing said first roller to receive direct impulses supplied alternately by the first and second wheels for the purpose of maintaining the oscillations of the balance. The second roller (11) is provided with means for driving a locking and rocking member arranged to lock said first and second wheels alternately.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2000Date of Patent: October 16, 2001Assignee: Ulysse Nardin S.A.Inventor: Ludwig Oechslin

Patent number: 4711583Abstract: A watch designed to display, by means of indicators (7 to 10) several astronomical magnitudes. The indicators are driven by means of a planetary gear train (19) which is rotatingly supported by means of a ball bearing (20) within a support ring (11) of the watch. The drive force as well as the time reference are provided by a work (C) simultaneously driving the planet-wheel carrier (21, 22) of the planetary gear train and the gear clusters mounted thereon. Each of said clusters has a reduction ratio depending on the indicator (8 to 10) it is intended to drive.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 1986Date of Patent: December 8, 1987Assignee: Ulysse Nardin S.A.Inventors: Ludwig Oechslin, Urs Giger, Jorg Sporing
