Patent number: 8982674Abstract: The invention relates to a device for correcting a time indication given by a display mechanism for a timepiece of the type comprising a first display member, comprising: a winding stem arranged to occupy at least one time indication correction position A, a pinion coupled in rotation to the winding stem, a correction motion transfer connected kinematically to the pinion when the stem is occupying the correction position A, and a correction wheel assembly engaging with the display member and operated by the correction motion transfer. According to the invention, the correction motion transfer is formed by a ring having an internal circumference and an external circumference, at least one of which is provided with teeth meshing at least indirectly with said correction wheel assembly.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2008Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Omega SAInventors: Olivier Mahler, Salvatore Dettori

Patent number: 8483015Abstract: The invention concerns an AM/PM display disc (1), rotating in one day about an axis of rotation (2), including two different juxtaposed surfaces (3, 4). It is characterized in that the surfaces are delimited, between a hub (5) and the periphery (6) of said disc (1) by two boundary curves (7, 8), each tangential to said periphery (6) and having a single concavity from said periphery (6) towards said hub (5), the concavities of said curves (7, 8) having the same direction relative to the direction of rotation (A) of said disc (1), and any radial line originating from said axis (2) intersecting, in succession, one of said two surfaces, then the other, and only passing through one of said curves between said hub (5) and said periphery (6).Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2011Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Compagnie des Montres Longines, Francillon S.A.Inventors: Olivier Mahler, Raphael Loeffel

Patent number: 7731416Abstract: During normal use, the time indicator (2) is driven by a mechanism (3) controlled by the gear train (4) of the timepiece. This mechanism is arranged for uncoupling the gear train from the indicator when the time-setting member (1) is actuated, this action causing the indicator to move forward through a step of one hour. The time-setting member includes a push-button (5) which actuates a device (6) that in turn acts on said mechanism (3).Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2007Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Compagnie des Montres Longines, Francillon S.A.Inventors: Olivier Mahler, Alphonse Bron
