  • Patent number: 12222681
    Abstract: A display mechanism for a watch and a watch including the display mechanism, which includes a display for displaying information, a first and second mobile elements and a support, so that when the first mobile element moves with a first primary speed, the second mobile element moves into a first position so as to cover the display and when the first mobile element moves with a first secondary speed, the second mobile element moves into a second position so as to expose the display. Thus, the display can be exposed which allows to maximize the display surface when information is present on the display.
