A device for manually controlling a timepiece mechanism includes two counteracting manual corrector actuators to be operated by a user and to control a correction wheel set in opposing movements. Each actuator sets in motion an associated corrector having a beak to bear against a relief of the correction wheel set and to cause the correction wheel set to move when the actuator is moved over its full path of travel. The manual control device includes a locking lever mechanism arranged to prohibit an action of one of the actuators on the correction wheel set when the other actuator is engaged and interacting with the correction wheel set. The locking lever mechanism includes a locking lever driven in rotation during the engagement of one of the actuators to limit the travel of the other actuator and to prevent the corrector associated therewith from accessing the correction wheel set.

Device for manually controlling a mechanism for a timepiece

A timepiece time zone correction mechanism is equipped with a manual control device including two counteracting manual corrector actuators setting in motion a time zone corrector associated therewith including a beak which is configured to bear against a relief of a time zone correction wheel assembly and to cause the assembly to move. The assembly includes a regularly spaced toothing having a first drive level from which a plurality of successive teeth are missing and replaced by a first clearance, and a second drive level parallel to the first drive level, and from which a plurality of successive teeth are missing and replaced by a second clearance. The first clearance and the second clearance are not superimposed with one another. Each time zone corrector cooperates with a single drive level, from among the first drive level and the second drive level, of the time zone correction wheel assembly.

Time zone correction mechanism for a timepiece

A moving mechanism for a decorative element of a timepiece including a circular drive element arranged to be rotatable about a central axis, the decorative element being mounted on the drive element with an arbor integral with the decorative element and parallel to the central axis, and first device for driving the decorative element in a rotational motion about its own arbor and/or in a translational motion along its own arbor, the first drive device for the decorative element being mounted on the circular drive element and arranged to cooperate with fixed actuation device arranged in the periphery of the circular drive element such that the decorative element rotates about its arbor and/or moves along its arbor while rotating about the central axis.

Moving mechanism for a decorative element of a timepiece

A moving mechanism for a decorative element of a timepiece, the decorative element including at least two decorative faces disposed around an arbor defining the axis of the decorative element. The moving mechanism includes a circular drive element arranged to be rotatable about a central axis and including an aperture arranged to reveal one of the decorative faces of the decorative element and inside which said decorative element is mounted to rotate about its arbor. The moving mechanism also includes first device for driving the decorative element in rotation about its arbor mounted on the circular drive element and arranged to cooperate with fixed actuation means provided in the periphery of the circular drive element, such that the decorative element rotates about its arbor to successively display its decorative faces in the aperture of the circular drive element while rotating about the central axis.
