Provided With A Pickup Means, E.g., Microphone, Etc. (measuring And Control Means For Comparison With A Standard Frequency Subclass 769) [g04d 1/06b] Patents (Class 968/681)
  • Patent number: 12032336
    Abstract: A case configured to receive a plurality of mechanical watch movements in the wound state, each movement being housed inside a compartment, configured to receive and maintain the movement according to a predefined orientation. In this position, the winding buttons of the movements are positioned facing respective microphones which are mounted inside the case. The microphones are configured such that they cancel the noises detected, such that the acoustic measurements of each of the movements are essentially not disturbed by the noises produced by the adjacent movements. Also, a method for testing a plurality of mechanical movements installed in the case, and to a testing system which includes the case. The movements are measured by a plurality of cycles of consecutive and successive measurement periods.
