Abstract: An arrangement for protecting a watch movement from shocks and vibrations includes shock absorbers for mounting the watch movement within the case. The shock absorber includes a plurality of independent portions 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.

Abstract: A stop watch (1) includes a time indicator comprising a hand (2), a first scale (31) and a second scale (41). A first part of a time indication is shown by the hand (2) on the first scale (31) and a second part of said time indication is shown by said second scale (41) in combination with said first scale (31). The first scale (31) is fixed and said second scale (41) is movably mounted around said first scale (31). The first part of said time indication corresponds to seconds of a duration counted by said stop watch (1), and the second part of said time indication corresponds to tenths of seconds of said duration.

Abstract: Watch provided with a multifunctional aperture display capable of displaying symbols corresponding to one or several special functions and to the date. The movement of the display discs is ensure by bidirectional motors and the display discs or mobiles have several series of digits of different colour for differentiating the display of the different functions.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Method for switching the time zone indicated by a timepiece (1) in order to switch from an initial time zone to a modified time zone, having the following steps: the user enters a time switch command (268) by means of the crown, the hours' and minutes' hands indicate the time of the modified time zone (274), whilst the seconds' hand indicates a city corresponding to the selected time zone, the timepiece automatically returns (280) to the initial time zone and indicates the time of the initial time zone (202), or the time of the modified time zone is retained by means of a command from the user.
