Abstract
The invention concerns a display device for a watch movement comprising: a frame (110), an assembly of wheels pivotably mounted on the frame and wherein the angular position of a first (116) and a second (120) among them is based on the state of an information to be displayed, and a display member (126) mobile about an axis (A-A), and designed to enable data associated with the first (116) or the second (120) wheel to be displayed by the same display member (126).
Claims16
A display device for a watch movement of the type comprising:
- a frame;
- a set of wheels pivotably mounted on said frame and including a first information wheel and a second information wheel, wherein an angular position of said first information wheel is a function of a state of a first piece of information to be displayed and an angular position of said second information wheel is a function of a state of a second piece of information to be displayed with said first piece of information being different from said second piece of information and said angular position of said first piece of information not being dependant on said angular position of said second piece of information;
- a display member having an axis and being mounted for rotation about said axis;
- a display wheel mounted on said frame about said axis and arranged for carrying said display member;
- connecting members for kinematically connecting said display wheel to one or other of said first and second wheels;
- and
- activating means cooperating with said connecting members and arranged to allow the connection of said display wheel to be switched from one of said first and second wheels to the other of said first and second wheels.
A display device for a watch movement, the display device comprising:
- a frame;
- a first information wheel mounted for rotational movement on said frame, an angular position of said first information wheel being a function of a state of a current time connection to a going train to be set for a current time;
- a second information wheel mounted for rotational movement on said frame, an angular position of said second information wheel being a function a connection to a going train with the angular position being based on one of a reset and stop of a chronograph device connected between said going train and said second information wheel and a time elapsed following start of the chronograph device;
- a display member having an axis and being mounted for rotation about said axis;
- a display wheel mounted on said frame about said axis and arranged for carrying said display member;
- connecting members for kinematically connecting said display wheel to one of said first wheel and said second wheel;
- and
- activating means cooperating with said connecting members and arranged to allow the connection of said display wheel to be switched between said first wheel and said second wheel.
