    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for winding a horological movement of a watch (20), including an electronic module (13) configured to control a motor (14) kinematically connected to a drive member intended to rotate a winding member of the watch (20). The apparatus (10) includes a support (11) for the watch (20) formed by a body having a central element (110) and at least one side element (111) arranged at a distance from each other so as to form a recess (118) intended to receive a strand (21) of a bracelet of the watch (20), the central element (110) and the side element (111) being adapted to apply opposing forces to the strand (21) so as to ensure that it is held in the recess (118).

    Abstract: A musical or striking mechanism (1) for a timepiece or musical box, includes an energy source (6) delivering a mechanical torque and device for transmitting mechanical torque from the energy source to a wheel set for generating music or a striking wheel set (4). The mechanism also includes a wheel set governor (2) configured to regulate, around a reference speed value, the pivoting speed of the wheel set about a pivot axis, and including a break for braking the wheel set configured to return the pivoting speed thereof to the reference speed. The wheel set governor includes a system having an electric generator (16) whereof a rotor is mechanically connected to the energy source delivering the mechanical torque, and an electronic circuit for regulating the rotation speed of the generator.

    Abstract: The winding device includes a motorization device for driving a watch holder carrying at least one automatic watch with a mobile oscillating mass, and a measuring device for measuring the variation in the resistive torque opposed to the motorization device by the watch holder equipped with watches, depending on the degree of winding of the watches. The measuring device includes a speed measuring device to determine the speed and/or the variation in the speed of the motorization device, and/or include a torque measuring device to determine the value of the torque and/or the variation in the torque at the watch holder, and/or include a current measuring device to determine the value of the current and/or the variation in the current of an electric motor of the motorization device.

    Abstract: A method for optimising an operation of setting and winding a watch or the timepiece movement thereof including initially making a measurement of the operation of the watch or of the timepiece movement followed by an activation of an operation of low-amplitude reciprocating movements of the watch or of the timepiece movement on said jig of the device, or initially implementing an activation of an operation of low-amplitude reciprocating movements of the watch or of the timepiece movement before making a measurement of the operation of the watch or of the timepiece movement, and resuming low-amplitude reciprocating movements in phase or a synchronisation step being implemented at the end of the first two steps. The first oscillating signal of movements includes a change in sign of the absolute rotation speed in each successive oscillation period, the oscillating signal having a positive part and a negative part of the operating speed.

    Abstract: A timepiece assembly includes a watch having a mechanical movement and an analogue time display, the running of which is set by a mechanical resonator, and a support for the watch. To correct a time displayed by the analogue display, the timepiece assembly includes a correction system which is formed by a mechanical device incorporated into the watch and by an electrical device incorporated into the support. The mechanical device includes a magnet supported by an elastic blade and is arranged in the watch to brake the oscillating mechanical resonator, for example by applying periodic braking, or to momentarily stop its oscillation by exerting a magnetic force on the magnet with a magnetic field produced by a coil of the electrical device and passing through the case of the watch, to carry out essentially a set correction of the time displayed.

    Abstract: A device is disclosed for verifying the state of a watch and resetting it to the correct time. In a case of the device, a watch can be disposed on a watch support, which can be moved from a position without measurement to a measurement position in a vision system, or vice versa. In a position without measurement, the watch on its support can be observed from the outside of the case of the device through at least one electronic shutter activated or an optical valve activated to be in a transparent state, whereas in the measurement position, the electronic shutter or the optical valve is deactivated to be made opaque.
