Claims8
A mechanical timepiece, comprising:
- a movement arranged to drive a minute display member (1) and an hour display member (2);
- a first means (3) for controlling the minute display member (1) and the hour display member (2), arranged to move, on demand, said minute display member (1) and hour display member (2);
- a target time display member (6) arranged to be moved by the first control means (3) when the target time display member (6) and the minute display member (1) or the hour display member (2) are aligned;
- a second control means (4, 5) arranged to move, on demand, the target time display member (6), and
- a means (7) for resetting the target time display member (6),
- wherein, during normal operation of the timepiece to display the time, said target time display member (6) is placed beneath or above and concealed by the minute display member (1) or the hour display member (2) so that the minute display member (1) and the hour display member (2) display the time;
- characterized in that
- the second control means (4, 5) is arranged to move the target time display member with respect to the minute display member (1) or the hour display member (2) every time the control means (4, 5) is pressed by an incremental value to determine a target time to be reached by successive actuations of the control means (4, 5), and
- when it is activated, the means (7) for resetting the target time display member (6) is arranged to move the target time display member (6) so that it rests above or beneath the minute display member (1) or the hour display member (2) in its normal time display position, so that the timepiece displays the time according to its normal operating state without displaying a target time.
