Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a timepiece and a mechanism to be used with the timepiece for indicating the date and the day of the present time. In one embodiment, a timepiece may include a dial, indications of seven days of a week inscribed on the dial, and an aperture pierced through the dial and being sized to allow seven dates of a month to appear adjacent the indications on the dial. A mechanism for indicating the date and the day may include a date indicator bearing a series of dates from 1 to 31, a first member configured to cause the date indicator to move by seven days on each Sunday at about midnight, a date corrector bearing a series of dates from 1 to 6 and arranged in such a way that the date corrector can be partially superposed on the date indicator, and a second member configured to cause the date corrector to move in such a way that, at the end of a month having less than 31 days, the date corrector automatically hides incorrect dates and replaces them with its own dates.
