Method and system for assisting in the adjustment of a mechanical timepiece

Method implemented by a computing device for assisting a user in setting of a mechanism of a mechanical timepiece having a plurality of mechanisms for displaying different functions, wherein the computing device comprises an image acquisition device, a display area, a processor and a memory storing a computer program comprising instructions which, when the program is executed by the processor of the computing device, cause the latter to implement the following steps:

• prompting the user to capture a first image or sequence of images of the mechanical timepiece by means of the image acquisition device of the computing device;
• determining whether the quality of the first image or sequence of images is acceptable before or after pre-processing said image or sequence of images, wherein said pre-processing includes at least one image correction among brightness correction, contrast correction, white balance correction and cropping;
• prompting the user to capture another image or sequence of images by said image acquisition device if the quality of the first image or sequence of images is not acceptable;
• identifying the model of the mechanical timepiece by image recognition from said first image or sequence of images or subsequent image or sequence of images;
• prompting the user to select the mechanism to be set among said plurality of mechanisms,
• generating a sequence of instructions to be performed by the user on one or more setting members of the mechanical timepiece for setting said mechanism, wherein the sequence of instructions is generated according to said image or sequence of images and the identified model, and
• displaying on the display area of the computing device said sequence of instructions.
