The present invention relates to a timepiece comprising a frame and a device () for displaying the equation of time. The device () for displaying the equation of time comprises a first support () and a second support which are superposed, or, respectively, mounted so as to be able to rotate with respect to the frame, the first support () bearing a curve () that represents the equation of time, and the second support bearing a pointer () arranged such that the intersection of the pointer () with the curve () is visible, and means for driving the first () and second supports that are arranged such that the first () and second supports rotate at respective speeds that allow the value of the equation of time to be displayed at the intersection of the pointer () with the curve ().

Timepiece comprising a device for displaying the equation of time

The present application relates to a mechanism for selecting and actuating n functions of a clock movement, where n is an integer no lower than 1, preferably no lower than 2, more preferably no lower than 3, including a winding mechanism rod ending in a crown, a device for actuating a function, said device being kinematically connected to the crown and arranged such as to move and assume n selection positions and n actuation positions in which the actuation device is kinematically connected to an actuation member of the selected function, and a selecting device arranged such as to move the actuation device into a selection position. Said mechanism further includes a base onto which the actuation device is moveably mounted such as to be moved and positioned, by the selecting device, into a selection position facing the actuation member of the selected function, and such as to be moved, by an axial movement of the winding mechanism rod, into the actuation position thereof in order to engage with said actuation member of the selected function.
