摘要:
A time display apparatus for indicating time in a plurality of time zones simultaneously, the apparatus includes a case having a compartment enclosed by a cover, the case having a dial member indicating a 12-hour time clock and a 24-hour time clock, a first wheel completing one revolution in 12 hours and coupled to an hour hand, a second wheel completing one revolution in 1 hour and coupled to a multi-zone minute hand having at least two different vertices, and a third wheel completing one revolution in 24 hours and coupled to a multi-zone hour indicator hand having at least two different indicators, wherein each vertex of the multi-zone minute hand indicates a different minute marking on the 12 hour time clock and each indicator of the multi-zone hour indicator hand indicates a different hour marking on the 24 hour time clock corresponding to different time zones.

Facilitate operations to release a bezel from a rotation prevented state and to rotate the bezel and avoid erroneously releasing the rotation prevented state. A timepiece includes a restrictor having engaging teeth and being movable between a restricted position and a release position by engaging/disengaging the engaging teeth with teeth of the bezel. The timepiece also has a holding mechanism holding the restrictor between a held state, i.e., restricted position and a non-held state. i.e., the release position. The holding mechanism includes two push-buttons and a release mechanism including a spring bar and engaging hole. The release mechanism switches the restrictor to the non-held state irrespective of a continuance of applying the pressing operation forces after the pressing operation forces are applied simultaneously to the two push-buttons.

An electronic device has a first hand that displays a first time; a secondhand that displays a second time; an indicator hand; a detection device that outputs a first time selection signal when it detects a first time selection operation of an input device, and outputs a second time selection signal when it detects a second time selection operation of the input device; a mode setter that sets a first time correction mode to correct the first time when the first time selection signal is received, and sets a second time correction mode to correct the second time when the second time selection signal is received; and a display controller that points the indicator hand to a position other than that of the second hand when the first time correction mode is set, and points the indicator hand to the second hand when the second time correction mode is set.

The timepiece includes sunrise and sunset indicating means taking account of seasonal variations, said means include a sphere reproducing the terrestrial globe, a shell arranged concentrically to the sphere and arranged to demarcate one portion of the terrestrial globe where it is night from another portion where it is day by indicating the position of the earth's terminator. The sphere is arranged to be driven by the movement so as to rotate at the rate of one revolution per 24 hours about a first axis of rotation oriented parallel to the plane of the dial, and the shell is mounted to pivot about a second axis perpendicular to the plane of the dial. The sunrise and sunset indicating means also include an annual cam arranged to be driven in rotation by the movement at the rate of one revolution per year, the cam having a profile representative of the tilt of the sun relative to the equatorial plane.

Universal watch (1) including: a movement (10) driving a main display means (2) cooperating with a complementary main display means (3), a means (4) for adjusting said main display means (2) to set the time of a determined place, a secondary display means (5) which is moveable relative to said complementary main display means (3), and comprises geographical reference points (6) of different time zones. This movement (10) drives synchronously with the main display means (2): said secondary display means (5), a structure (7) carrying first screens (8), each superposed on a geographical reference point (6) and, according to the time of day, changing position under the action of a drive torque from drive means (9) which is greater than the resistant torque imparted thereon by friction means (11) connected to said structure (7).
摘要:
A seal to be sticked on the face of clock to indicate time difference in foreign countries comprising indication part on one side thereof and adhesive part of onther side thereof, indication part having three types of graduations to recognize more accurate time difference. Said seals are made clear and transparent and onto a clear clockface cover portion of a clock and easily detached off the clock in no use. A combination ways of said three types of graduations may be employed to recognize more detailed and accurate time difference.
