Abstract:
Bracelet having adjustable length, which includes an adjusting link (6) with two parallel transverse articulation pins (5, 7), a first (5) being fixed and the second (7) being able to pivot with respect to the first (5) so as to reverse the respective positions of the pins and respectively create two, short and long, configurations, and an end link (8) having a first end (8i) pivoted on the second pin (7) and a second end (8j) designed to accept the fixing of the end of one bracelet strand, this second end (8j) having at least one first cutout (8e) designed to house a center link element (10a) of a link at the end of said bracelet strand, and a transverse second cutout (8c) arranged between the two ends (8i, 8j) of the end link (8) to house the first pin (5) of the adjusting link (6) in the short configuration.
Abstract:
A chronometric testing or chronometric certification method for a timepiece (1), comprising at least two status reports of the timepiece before and after at least a first static storage cycle in one or multiple predefined positions of the timepiece, said first static storage cycle comprising at least a first inclined position (γ) of the timepiece.
Abstract:
Method of measuring at least one dimension (L) of an object (1) having a first axis (2), the method including the use of a first optical system (11) including an optical sensor (111) and having a second optical axis (113), the measuring method including (i) obtaining at least one series of data from the optical sensor when the object is in movement relative to the first optical system, notably an angular movement of the first axis relative to the second axis and/or a movement of the object in rotation about the first axis and/or a movement of the object in translation along the second axis and (ii) processing the at least one series of data to quantify said at least one dimension.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method which comprises the steps of providing a plate (2) made of a micromachinable material, forming the timepiece component (1) with at least one attachment (3) for keeping the component attached to the rest of the plate (2), by etching the plate (2); and creating, along a desired breakage line of the attachment, a pre-detachment area (4) comprising at least one gap (5) obtained by etching into the body of the plate (2).

Abstract:
Spring (10) for clock mechanism, the spring comprising a body (11) extending between a first end (12) of the spring and a second end (13) of the spring, the spring being intended to be connected mechanically to a housing at each of the first and second ends, the spring comprising, between the first and the second end, at least one member (17) intended to act by contact on an element (42) of the clock mechanism, characterized in that the body comprises a deformable zone (14) extending in a curve (18) and in that the curve comprises a first part (18a) that is concave when viewed from the first end.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a barrel spring (2) including: an inner end (5) and an outer end; a first portion (50) having a first height (H); a second portion (52) having a second height (h) that is smaller than the first height (H) and being located near the inner end (5); and, at the second portion, e.g. at the inner end, a first attachment element (51) suitable for being attached to the barrel shaft, wherein the second portion is to be inserted into a circumferentially extending groove provided on the barrel shaft.
Abstract:
Dial (1) for a timepiece, comprising a disc (2) intended to be positioned substantially parallel to a timepiece, and a skirt (3) extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the disc (2) of the dial, characterized in that the skirt (3) comprises at least one elastic element (10) which extends partially over the height of the skirt to retain the dial axially on a timepiece movement.
Abstract:
A mechanism for correcting a device for displaying time information is described. The display device includes a first display member for displaying current time information and a second display member for displaying stored time information, notably a second display member of the retrograde type. The mechanism includes an isolating device for isolating the first and second display members.
Abstract:
A mechanism (3) for indicating and storing time information, including a transmission device (7) coupling a time information counting system (5) and a member (S′) for displaying time information adapted to display selectively current time information and stored time information, including: a cam (C); a lever device (L) including a lever (L1), a follower (L2) and a first elastic member (R) urging the lever and the follower into a particular relative position; the lever (L1) being kinematically coupled to the display member (S′) for displaying time information, the follower (L2) being urged against the cam (C) by a second elastic member (RL).
