Abstract
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.
