A multifunction correction device () for a case () of a timepiece including a horological movement () having at least one function corrector () for carrying out various functions of activating, selecting, resetting and/or correcting a piece of information derived from the current time of the horological movement. A control member () is capable of moving in rotation about the axis of revolution (X-X) of a control stem () between a plurality of angular positions and a protrusion () is configured such that the rotation of the control member () modifies the angular position of the protrusion () about the axis of revolution (X-X) and relative to the horological movement ().

Multifunction correction device for a timepiece and timepiece comprising such a multifunction correction device

A timepiece case including a middle () receiving a horological movement () having at least one function corrector () for carrying out various functions of activating, selecting, resetting and/or correcting a piece of information derived from the current time of the horological movement (). The middle has a correction member (), and a control stem () moving in translation within the cylindrical body of the correction member. The correction member () is mounted such that it slides in the middle () between a plurality of stable positions, each of the stable positions modifying the position of the end () of the control stem () facing the horological movement ().

Timepiece case comprising a correction member

Elementary timepiece mechanism comprising a first housing about an axis, a second housing, and a mobile element comprising a first shoulder pivoting in the first housing and a second shoulder pivoting in the second housing, the second housing comprising at least a first abutment surface arranged to ensure the alignment of the mobile element on said axis when the mobile element is in abutment on the first abutment surface, and the elementary mechanism includes at least one elastic return means arranged to return the mobile element to this first abutment surface.

Flexible bearing for pivoting a mobile timepiece element

Timepiece wheel set () including an arbor () carrying a wheel (), and a heart cam () in an angularly indexed position with respect to the wheel (), the heart cam () is freely mounted in a radial direction (R) with respect to the axis (D) of the arbor (), and is returned in a neutral position towards the axis (D) by at least one flexible element (), which is either a strip () incorporated in the heart cam (), or a spring () inserted between the wheel () and the heart cam (), and the flexible element () is dimensioned to damp impacts applied to a peripheral cam track () comprised in the heart cam ().

Heart cam for a timepiece or chronograph

The invention relates to a timepiece with an analogue display, including a timepiece movement () provided with a mechanical output, located on an arbour () of said movement, and a display assembly () provided with at least one time display device () driven by said mechanical output, wherein the display assembly is separate from the timepiece movement () and linked to a fixed part () of said movement () by support means which enables said display device to take several different positions around the output arbour () of the movement. According to the invention, the support means of the display assembly includes an intermediate support () secured to the fixed part () of the timepiece movement () and provided with support members () allowing said at least one display device () to be assembled in several positions on the intermediate support (). The invention concerns the field of timepiece display members.

Timepiece with a modular analogue display

Multi-sector mechanism () for displaying a physical quantity on a timepiece (), on several partial displays (), each representing the change in said physical quantity over a given partial range (), the total range of variation in said quantity being covered by the set of said partial ranges (), each partial display () including an indicator () that moves relative to a scale () representing the partial range () specific thereto. Each partial display () includes a continuous mechanism () for moving the moving indicator () thereof opposite a scale representing said total range, and includes eclipsing means arranged for only allowing said moving indicator () to be seen opposite said scale () representing the partial range () specific thereto, and for reducing or obscuring visibility of said moving indicator () opposite the scales representing any other partial ranges, and said continuous mechanisms () of said partial displays () are all synchronous with each other.
