Abstract
This timepiece is provided with a device for the adjustment of functions and time indications comprising a selection control (L) for each time indication which has to be adjusted and a control (T) for adjustment of the said selected time indications. At least the selection control (L) or the indication which has to be adjusted is kinematically linked with a selection cam (C1) comprising a profile corresponding to two states 0, 1, corresponding to a non-selection state and a selection state respectively, the control device comprising means (L1, L2, L3) for connecting the adjustment control (T) to each of the selected time indications.
Claims21
Timepiece provided with a device for controlling at least two functions and/or time indications, comprising
- a selection control for selecting each function and/or time indication which has to be adjusted,
- an adjustment control for adjusting said selected functions and/or time indications,
- a selection cam,
- wherein a kinematic link is provided between at least the selection control and the selection cam,
- wherein the selection cam comprises n 2 times two states 0, 1,
- wherein the 0 state corresponds to a non-selection state and the state 1 corresponds to a selection state, and
- linking means for linking the adjustment control to each of the selected functions and/or time indications,
- wherein a different kinematic chain is provided between the adjustment control and each of the selected functions and/or time indications,
- wherein selective positioning in each of the respective states 1 of the selection cam determines selective linking by the linking means of the adjustment control to each of the respective selected functions and/or time indications, whereas selective positioning in each of the states 0 of the selection cam determines the absence of selective linking by the linking means of the adjustment control to each of the respective selected functions and/or time indications,
- and wherein the selection cam has at least one stable resting position with selective positioning in each of the states 0 of the selection cam, so that the linking means of the adjustment control is not linked to any of the respective selected functions and/or time indications.
