Abstract
A mechanical-type watch movement is disclosed. In one implementation, the movement may include a frame. The frame may support a work train that is periodically driven in rotation by a driving element. The frame may also support an animation part. The animation part may be configured to be visible, and may be arranged to be animated by an oscillating movement that is capable of simulating, for example, a pendulum movement. The movement may also include, supported by the frame, an animation train that meshes with a mobile of the work train, and is kinematically connected to the animation part.
Claims10
A mechanical-type watch movement, comprising a frame supporting:
- a work train comprising a plurality of mobiles periodically driven in rotation by a driving element,
- a mobile animated by a pulsed movement, and having a kinematic connection with the work train,
- an animation part configured to be visible and arranged to be animated by a periodic movement,
- a control element for the animation part, and
- an animation train in mesh with a mobile of the work train, the animation train driving the control element,
- wherein the control element and the animation part are arranged so that the periodic movement is of a sinusoidal oscillating type, and
- wherein an elastic element interposed between the mobile of the work train and the animation part, the elastic element being configured to smooth out the movement of the animation part.
