    Abstract: A retrograde timepiece display mechanism for a watch including a wheel for displaying information, this display wheel being driven by a drive finger carried by a wheel driven by a horological movement, in order to change the information displayed by the retrograde timepiece display mechanism from one value to the immediately following value, this retrograde timepiece display mechanism including also an intermediate correction device to manually correct the information provided by the retrograde timepiece display mechanism by acting on a correction finger which drives the display wheel, the retrograde timepiece display mechanism also including a safety device arranged to allow blocking the intermediate correction device by preventing the correction finger from driving the display wheel during a period of time when the change in the information displayed by the retrograde timepiece display mechanism occurs and when the drive finger is engaged with the display wheel.

    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: A horological mechanism with a first mechanism (100) and a first output wheel set (101), a second mechanism and a second output wheel set (102), for displaying a first or a second indication specific to the first mechanism (100) or second mechanism (200), by a switching and coupling mechanism (500), including, on a coupling arbor (937, 938), two input wheel sets (1; 2) connected to the output wheel sets (101; 102), a sliding wheel set moving under constant strain between these input wheel sets (1; 2), and cooperating alternately and exclusively, by clicking in a single angular position per revolution, with either one, selected under the action of a command from a user on a controller, to establish a driving connection between the input wheel set engaged with the sliding wheel set at the given moment in time, and a display means.

    Abstract: A method for reference time setting of the displays (4; 5) of a sympathetic watch (200) by a sympathetic clock (100) forming a sympathetic assembly (1000) with the watch (200) which includes a coupling mechanism (706) between its display and finishing gear trains, and a hammer (701) movable between a coiled position where it is retained by a pawl, and an active position where it rests on an hour heart cam (702) carried by an hour wheel (708) of said watch (200), to constrain it in rotation to its smallest radius.

    Abstract: A horological movement including a seconds wheel set, a power source, and a regulator (13) to regulate the motion of the seconds wheel set. The movement includes a control mechanism (20) to take an active state wherein it cooperates with the regulator (13) to immobilise it and with the seconds wheel set for driving it such that it rotates into a predefined position. The control mechanism (20) is adapted to take an inactive state wherein it releases the regulator (13) such that the latter is able to regulate the motion of the seconds wheel set, and the seconds wheel set so as to authorise the displacement thereof. The mechanism (20) includes two motion transmitting modules, each to be connected to a specific actuating member, and each being driving the control mechanism (20) between the inactive state and active state upon operation of the actuating member to which it is connected.

    Abstract: A device (1) for displaying a succession of indications of a time variable for a timepiece, this display device (1) including an indicator which carries the succession of indications of the time variable to be displayed, and is arranged to be driven by a horological movement to move from an initial position to a final position through a succession of intermediate positions in which the display of the time variable passes from one indication to the next indication at a required frequency. Also included is a mechanism (22; 72) for positioning the indicator in a reference position and an actuating device, the mechanism including a cam on which acts, when actuated, the actuating device such that the mechanism brings the indicator back to its predetermined reference position.
