    Abstract: A mechanical or electromechanical timepiece including a watch case delimiting an internal volume, the watch case including a back delimiting the watch case at the bottom; a crystal closing the watch case at the top, the crystal defining a useful display aperture; a middle part connecting the back and the crystal to one another; a horological movement housed in the internal volume of the watch case; at least one hand for displaying information visible via a useful display aperture and rotated with respect to the watch case by the horological movement with at least one driving belt extending at least partially in the useful display aperture, the timepiece includes the internal volume of the watch case filled with a fluid wherein at least one driving belt is submerged, and wherein the driving belt is made of a material wherein the optical refractive index is equal or substantially equal to that of the fluid.

    Abstract: A multilayered interference pigment containing, in succession: a metal core in the form of a flake, the metal core containing a material selected from gold, silver, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, platinum, osmium, iridium and an alloy thereof; a first layer of transparent dielectric material; and a second discontinuous metal layer making it possible to both reflect a portion of the light beam and to transmit another portion of this beam onto the metal core.

    Abstract: An active lighting device of a bicycle includes a first optical system with a first light source arrangement for long-distance illumination, which is controlled by a control unit, and a second optical system with a second light source arrangement for short-distance illumination, which is controlled by the control unit. A light sensor determines the light intensity of a location of the bicycle and allows the control unit to adapt the light intensity of the light sources, if they are activated and if the ambient light intensity is below a threshold. A speed sensor determines the speed of the bicycle, so that the control unit controls the activation of the light sources of the first light source arrangement from a speed threshold. An orientation or inclination detector selects and adjusts the light intensity of light sources.

    Abstract: A timepiece movement is provided, including a first regulating member and a first escapement connected by a first train to a first energy source, where the first train, the first escapement, the first regulating member, and the first energy source together define a first assembly; a second regulating member and a second escapement connected by a second train to a second energy source, where the second train, the second escapement, the second regulating member, and the second energy source together define a second assembly; at least one differential gear configured to ensure a kinematic connection between the first and the second assemblies; a display of the current time; and a mechanism for stopping and allowing operation of one of the regulating members, where the differential gear carries the display to display the current time regardless of which of the regulating members is operating.

    Abstract: A timepiece includes a mechanical oscillator, formed of a mechanical resonator, and a device for regulating the frequency of the mechanical oscillator. This regulation device includes an auxiliary oscillator, an electromechanical device for stopping the mechanical resonator, a sensor arranged to detect the passage of the mechanical resonator via the neutral position thereof, and a measuring device arranged to measure a time drift of the mechanical oscillator. The regulation device is arranged to stop, during a given alternation, the natural oscillation movement of the mechanical resonator selectively either momentarily during a first half-alternation occurring before the passage of the mechanical resonator via the neutral position thereof when the time drift measured corresponds to at least a certain gain, or prematurely during a second half-alternation occurring after the passage of the mechanical resonator via the neutral position thereof when the time drift measured corresponds to at least a certain loss.

    Abstract: A bar for securing a watch wristlet including a hollow inner tube arranged in the hollow body, and is configured to co-operate with the first pivot and the second pivot. The second pivot and the spring are inserted in the hollow inner tube. The hollow body and the hollow inner tube being configured such that a displacement of the lug along the longitudinal groove towards the second pivot gives rise to a displacement of the second pivot, in the hollow inner tube, towards the lug, the user can easily retract the two pivots by manual action on the lug, with the simple movement of a finger, and without a tool. In fact, since the lug is integral with the first pivot, this action by the user tends to bring the first and second pivots towards one another inside the hollow body.
