Abstract
A timepiece drive assembly is adapted to be mounted in a timepiece housing, e.g., a small designer desk clock. The assembly includes a movement casing equipped with a removable battery-receiving member in which battery contact terminals are releasably arranged. The contact terminals are connected by means of flexible connecting lines with the circuit board of the movement. The movement casing may be arranged in a cylindrical part of the clock housing, while the battery-receiving member is located in a pedestal provided underneath the cylindrical part. It is only necessary to equip the pedestal with fastening means for the battery-receiving member and not with the more expensive individual fastening means for the holding and contacting of the battery. Thus, substantially flexibility is obtained in the design of the timepiece housing because the battery-receiving member can be connected to the movement casing or spaced therefrom.
