Abstract
The watch comprises a case (9) with a fixed part (10) in the shape of a bracket (20) and a mobile part (11) with a middle (21) and a movement (23) mounted onto the fixed part (10) so as to be able to swivel about a swivel axis (32) thanks to pivots (31) in order to realise a tilting motion of the mobile part (11) in two opposite directions. Two actuating mechanisms (44, 45) are mounted into the middle (21) and intended to transform the tilting motions into an action upon two control organs of functions of the movement that may be of the chronograph type. One thus obtains a watch without push-pieces, functioning precisely, having great stability and easy manipulation.
Claims11
Watch including a case (9) and movement (23) fitted with at least one control organ (41, 41) that is accessible from outside the movement and intended to activate at least one function, characterised in that the case (9) comprises a fixed part (10) and a mobile part (11) mounted onto the fixed part so as to be able to swivel about a swivel axis (32), thanks to at least one pivot (31) in order to realise a tilting motion of the mobile part (11) relative to the fixed part (10) while at least one actuating mechanism (44, 45) cooperates with the fixed and mobile parts in order to transform the tilting motion of the mobile part (11) into an action upon said at least one control organ (10, 11), the tilting motion being realised by pressing at least one segment (21, 29) of the mobile part (11).
