The invention concerns a timepiece display module intended to display a series of alphanumerical characters and/or pictures at different moments. The display module includes a platform (3) arranged to be actuated in rotation about an axis and several wheel sets (5) arranged on the platform (3) so that each wheel set (5) turns on itself while orbiting about the axis of rotation of said platform (3) when the latter is actuated in rotation. The display module further includes several wings (1) which are arranged on each wheel set so (5) as to be positioned in turn at the center of the display module. Each wing (1) of each wheel set (5) is actuated such that the wings are oriented in a identical plane at the center of the display module and are adjacent to each other so as to form a central display unit (2). Each wing (1) includes one portion of an alphanumerical character or picture so that the central display unit (2), formed of several wings (1), can display, at each moment, one of the alphanumerical characters and/or pictures.
A timepiece display module intended to display a series of alphanumerical characters and/or pictures at different moments, the display module including a platform arranged to be actuated in rotation about an axis, several wheel sets arranged on the platform so that each wheel set rotates on the central axis thereof while orbiting about the axis of rotation of said platform when said platform is actuated in rotation, the display module further including several wings arranged on each wheel set to be positioned in turn at the center of the display module, each wing of each wheel set being actuated so that said wings are oriented in a substantially identical plane at the center of the display module and are adjacent to each other so as to form a central display unit, each wing including one portion of an alphanumerical character or picture so that the central display unit, formed by several wings can display, at each moment, one of the alphanumerical characters and/or pictures.
