  • Patent number: 10281878
    Abstract: Watch mechanism (100) including an element for the display of time, first and second elements (Q, PDL) for the display of first and second pieces of watch information derived from time, the mechanism including: —a first kinematic chain (CC1) for the simultaneous correction of time display, and the display of the first and second pieces of watch information; —a second kinematic chain (CC2) for the correction of the time display independently of the display of the second piece of watch information, and —a third kinematic chain (CC3) for the correction of the display of the second piece of watch information independently of the time display and the display of the first piece of watch information. The third chain includes an epicyclic gear train (TE) connected kinematically to the element (H) for the time display by a notched wheel (MC) included in the first and second kinematic chains.

  • Patent number: 9405274
    Abstract: Device (300; 200) for displaying the time, comprising a time-display member (A1, A2) and a switchover mechanism (100) allowing the time-display member to switch between a first time zone and a second time zone. This switchover mechanism comprises: a first heart piece (3) capable of rotating; a first lever (1) having a first end (1a) designed to collaborate with the first heart piece (3) with a view to causing the display member (A1, A2) to indicate the time in the first time zone; a second lever (2; 42) designed to cause the display member (A1, A2) to indicate the time of the second time zone; a two-position selector member (5) collaborating with the first lever (1), and a control member (P) allowing selection of the first or the second time zone for display. The two-position selector member (5) is designed to collaborate directly with a second end (1b) of the first lever (1).
