Abstract:
The timepiece comprises a body forming a case inside which is accommodated a clockwork-movement. This body comprises an upper case (1), which has a front face having first display means (16), and a lower case (2), which has a front face having second display means (26). One of the cases is mounted pivoting on the other about a pivoting axis (X) substantially perpendicular to the general plane of the cases and can occupy a closed position, in which the upper case is superposed on the lower case, and an open position, in which the upper case has pivoted sideways and lets the second display means (26) be seen. The clockwork-movement comprises respective portions (100, 200), accommodated in the upper and lower cases to drive the first and second display means, and a drive mechanism (5) ensuring a kinematic link between the two portions of the clockwork-movement. This kinematic link is interrupted when the cases are put in the open position.

Abstract:
The timepiece display device includes a rotating analogue indicator member (21), a first counter wheel set (38) and a second counter wheel set (44), whose positions are respectively representative of two magnitudes to be displayed by said indicator member (21), and a switch mechanism (40) with manual control (23) for selectively displaying the first or second magnitude via the indicator member. The display device is characterized in that the switch mechanism includes a rotating arbour (73) kinematically connected to the indicator member (21) and a sliding wheel set (71) secured to the arbour in rotation and provided for sliding, via the action of the manual control device (23), so as to selectively occupy on the arbour (73) a first axial position, in which the sliding wheel set (71) is coupled with the first counter wheel set (38), and a second axial position, in which the sliding wheel set (71) is coupled with the second counter wheel set (44).
