Abstract: An electronic watch may include a tactile switch and/or one or more sensors for detecting rotational and translational inputs. The watch may include a display configured to produce graphical outputs that may change in response to rotational inputs, translational inputs, and/or touch inputs received at the display. The watch include a crown positioned along an exterior of the watch enclosure and a shaft coupled to the crown and extending into the enclosure. The tactile switch and/or the one or more sensors may be used to detect rotational and/or translational inputs provided at the crown.

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: 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: A method for permutation of a time display mode of an electronic watch with an analogue display, including, after manipulation of a control member of the watch, a permutation of the position of main time indicating means of the watch, such that the device changes from indicating a first time to indicating a second time, the position of secondary time indicating device of the watch, such that the device changes from indicating the second time to indicating the first time, the position of an analogue time display mode indicator of the watch, such that the indicator changes from a first position characteristic of the first mode to a second position characteristic of the second mode.

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: An adjustment mechanism for a timepiece display including an input wheel driving a control wheel controlling the position of a first display member, and including a differential mechanism which includes a drive wheel set retained by a jumper and pivotable via the first input wheel, to drive a planetary wheel meshing with the control wheel and pivoting off-centre with respect to a planetary wheel holder friction-mounted on a frame, the differential mechanism multiplying by a particular factor the rotation between one of the inputs and the output of the differential mechanism when the other input is stationary, and the planetary wheel holder includes manipulating device allowing a watch technician to release the friction to change the angular position of the planetary wheel and thus of the control wheel for correct indexing thereof with respect to another display member.
