Abstract: A selection and actuation device for at least a first and second function of a watch movement includes a translationally and rotationally movable control stem respectively selecting and actuating at least one of the functions. The control stem occupies at least first, second and third distinct, successive axial positions. An actuating lever bears first and second wheels and pinions. The actuating lever occupies a neutral position when the control stem is in one of its first and third positions, and pivots, on either side of the neutral position, between a first driving position actuating the first function responsive to control stem rotation in a first direction, and a second driving position actuating the second function responsive to a control stem rotation in a second direction. Also disclosed is a movement including such a selection and actuation device as well as to a timepiece including such a movement.

Abstract: Preform and manufacturing process producing heterogeneous components with a first fraction (11) made from a first metallic material and having a cellular structure with stochastic or regular cells, and a second fraction (12) made from a second metallic material different from the first metallic material, in which the second fraction (12) at least partly infiltrates the cells of the first fraction (11). The second fraction is poured into the preform which also acts as a mould. The finished product after machining may have a unified surface of the second fraction or several zones exposing the second fraction, the first fraction, the cellular structure which is open or infiltrated with the second metallic fraction, or open zones, in a predetermined design.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mechanism for displaying an information for a timepiece, comprising a mobile (10) intended to be driven in rotation by the movement of the timepiece about a display axis (17), a satellite (20) pivoted on the mobile (10) about a satellite axis (27) parallel to the display axis (17) and remote from a non-zero distance d1 thereof, a display area (80), an indicator (50) secured to the satellite (20) and the position of which relative to the display area (80) provides the information, and a crown (30) centered on the display axis (17) and kinematically connected to the satellite (20). The mechanism is particular in that the indicator (50) is located at a distance d2 from the satellite axis (27), which is greater than or equal to the distance d1.

Abstract: An escapement is disclosed which includes pallets, a roller and a pin fastened to the roller, intended to cooperate with one another. The pallets have no guard pin and include a pallet fork intended to cooperate with the pin and the roller and including first and second horns delimiting an entry of the pallet fork. The roller has an anti-overbanking wall in which a notch is formed, in a region adjacent to the pin. The pallets, the roller and the pin are conformed and dimensioned in such a manner that, in the service position, the anti-overbanking wall is able to define an abutment for the first and second horns, and each of the horns is able to penetrate to the interior of the notch exclusively when the pin is at least partly situated in the entry of the pallet fork.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a manufacturing process for a watch component (50) in composite material with a ceramic matrix comprising the following steps: depositing in a mould a succession of layers (10, 20, 30, 40) each comprising a ceramic powder (12), at least one layer (10; 10, 30; 10, 20, 30, 40) further including fibres (14) mixed with the ceramic powder (12), the fibres (14) being arranged randomly; performing a FAST/SPS sintering operation; demoulding the sintered watch component comprising the succession of layers (10, 20, 30, 40), and optionally machining the sintered component to the final dimensions of the watch component (50). The fibres (14) are visible on the surface of the watch component (50).

Abstract: A transmission horological mechanism is disclosed, which includes: a transmission wheel including a driving plate, intended to pivot about a first axis of rotation in response to the movements of a driving wheel; and a link organ having a flexible portion and bearing a unidirectional transmission organ arranged to cooperate with an output wheel intended to drive a driven wheel when the driving wheel is displaced in a first direction of displacement. The link organ includes: a base secured to the driving plate and arranged to exhibit a rotational movement about the first fixed axis of rotation, in response to the movements of the driving wheel; and a first arm extending from the base and bearing the unidirectional transmission organ at its distal end, the flexible portion being arranged on the first arm.

Abstract: A timepiece has a watch movement including a complication of the chronograph or countdown type, a fixed body (10) and a display (20) with moiré effect for displaying a time information associated with the chronograph or the countdown. The display has a mobile disc (22) with an indicator (24) of the time information. The mobile disc (22) is connected to an axis (23) in engagement with the watch movement and arranged to rotate above or below the fixed body (10). One of the mobile disc (22) and the fixed body (10) has a plurality of apertures (26) arranged over 360°. The other of the mobile disc (22) and the fixed body (10) includes a marking with a repetition of patterns including a first set of patterns having a first visual appearance (27) and a second set of patterns having a second visual appearance (28).

Abstract: Disclosed is a tourbillon for a horology movement including a cage rotatably mounted on the horology movement, the cage bearing a regulating organ including a balance including a balance pivot pivotally mounted in balance bearings about a balance axis with an anchor including an anchor pivot pivotally mounted in anchor bearings about an anchor axis and arranged to cooperate both with the regulating organ and also with an escapement wheel including an escapement pivot pivotally mounted in escapement bearings about an escapement axis. The anchor and the escapement wheel are positioned relative to the balance so the distance between the anchor axis and the balance axis and the distance between the escapement axis and the balance axis are greater than the outer radius of the balance. Also disclosed is a movement including such a tourbillon as well as to a timepiece including such a movement.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a casing element made of ceramic, for the fields of watchmaking or jewelry making, which enables a casing element to be obtained that is substantially homogeneous in terms of its structure and mechanical properties and that has variations of hue and/or color that are both original and unique on its surface. The manufacturing method includes, in particular, a machining step intended to make different layers, of different respective natures, visible on the surface of the casing element.
