Abstract
A display mechanism for a watch and a watch including the display mechanism, which includes a display for displaying information, a first and second mobile elements and a support, so that when the first mobile element moves with a first primary speed, the second mobile element moves into a first position so as to cover the display and when the first mobile element moves with a first secondary speed, the second mobile element moves into a second position so as to expose the display. Thus, the display can be exposed which allows to maximize the display surface when information is present on the display.

A display mechanism for a watch, said display mechanism comprising at least:
- a display, said at least one display being configured to display a piece of information;
- a first mobile element, said at least one first mobile element being configured to move with a first primary speed in a primary operating mode and with a first secondary speed in a secondary operating mode;
- a second mobile element, said at least one second mobile element being configured to move between at least one first position so as to totally or partly cover said at least one display in said primary operating mode and at least one second position so as to totally or partly expose said at least one display, preferably said piece of information, in said secondary operating mode;
- and
- a support, said at least one support being configured to allow the movement of said at least one second mobile element between said at least one first position and said at least one second position according to said first primary speed and said first secondary speed.
The watch comprising a bezel configured to move said at least one first mobile element with said first primary speed and said first secondary speed, and/or said at least one support with said second primary speed and said second secondary speed, so that said at least one second mobile element is mobile between said at least one first position and said at least one second position when said first primary speed and/or said first secondary speed of said at least one first mobile element can be different or are different from said second primary speed and/or said second secondary speed of said at least one support.
