A universal watch including a movement driving a main display means cooperating with a complementary main display means, a means for adjusting the main display means to set the time of a determined place, a secondary display means which is moveable relative to the complementary main display means, and comprises geographical reference points of different time zones. This movement drives synchronously with the main display means the secondary display means, and a structure carrying first screens, each superposed on a geographical reference point and, according to the time of day, changing position under the action of a drive torque from drive means which is greater than the resistant torque imparted thereon by friction means connected to the structure.
An universal watch comprising a movement for driving a main time display means cooperating with a complementary main time display means, and comprising a means of adjusting said main time display means to set the time of a determined place, and further comprising a secondary display means which is moveable relative to said complementary main time display means, said secondary display means comprising a plurality of geographical reference points corresponding to different time zones, said movement directly or indirectly driving both said secondary display means and a carrier structure, in a synchronous manner to said main time display means, wherein said carrier structure carries a plurality of first screens each superposed on one of said geographical reference points and capable of occupying several different positions according to the time of day and changing from one position to the other under the action of a first drive means imparting a torque or drive force thereon greater than, respectively, a torque or resistant force imparted thereon by a first friction means connected to said carrier structure.
