Abstract
A timepiece comprising a main energy storing device, a gear train coupled to the main energy storing device, a tensioning element coupled to the gear train, the tensioning element configured to be driven about a tensioning axis in cyclic steps, a tensioning control system configured to control the tensioning element, a storage hairspring having a first end and a second end, the first end connected to the tensioning element, a wheel connected to the second end of the storage hairspring, a clockwork movement rotatably driven by the wheel, an escapement coupled to the clockwork movement and a device configured to be switched in a stepwise manner and driven rotatably in cyclic steps by an element of the gear train.
Claims18
A timepiece comprising:
- a main energy storing device;
- a gear train coupled to the main energy storing device;
- a tensioning element coupled to the gear train, the tensioning element configured to be driven about a tensioning axis by the main energy storing device through the gear train;
- a tensioning control system configured to control the tensioning element so that the tensioning element is driven in cyclic steps;
- a storage hairspring having a first end and a second end, the first end connected to the tensioning element;
- a wheel connected to the second end of the storage hairspring;
- a clockwork movement rotatably driven by the wheel;
- an escapement coupled to the wheel;
- and
- a device configured to be switched in a stepwise manner and driven rotatably in cyclic steps by an element of the gear train.
