Description

  

      Montre-bracelet-chronographe.       La montre qu'en horlogerie on désigne  par montre chronographe possède un mouve  ment compliqué qui     tic    s'exécute pas couram  ment dans les grandeurs en-dessous de 13"  et ceci en mouvement rond.  



  On connaît également des montres-brace  lets avec grande aiguille au centre que l'on  peut arrêter à l'aide d'un poussoir en blo  quant le balancier. L'heure et la minute  s'arrêtent alors également et une telle mon  tre ne rend pas les services d'une montre  chronographe.  



  La présente invention se rapporte à une       montre-bracelet-chronographe    comportant un  boîtier qui contient deux mouvements com  prenant chacun un barillet,     titi    train d'engre  nage et un échappement, le premier de ces  mouvements étant destiné à donner l'indica  tion d'heures et de minutes et le second       possédant    l'arrêt du balancier et la remise  à zéro des aiguilles de minutes et secondes.  



  Le mécanisme compliqué du chronographe  est rendu inutile par l'emploi de deux mou  vements qui possèdent des organes connus  de chaque horloger, par conséquent faciles à    réparer. Le prix des éléments usuels d'une  montre est meilleur marché que celui des  éléments spéciaux du chronographe. Par con  séquent, si on utilise des éléments usuels,  malgré une complication apparente, le prix  de revient de la montre décrite ci-dessous  sera inférieur à celui d'une montre dite  "chronographe".  



  Les deux mouvements peuvent être séparés  complètement l'un de l'autre et posséder  chacun son propre mécanisme de remontoir.  On peut aussi établir les deux mouvements  sur la même platine et arranger le méca  nisme de remontoir de façon à actionner les  deux ressorts moteurs simultanément ou alter  nativement. On peut aussi prévoir un cadran  unique portant les indications d'heures et de  minutes et les indications des secondes et  du compteur juxtaposées les unes à côté des  autres.



      Chronograph wristwatch. The watch that is referred to in horology as a chronograph watch has a complicated movement which is not commonly performed in sizes below 13 "and this in a round movement.



  Wristwatches are also known with a large central hand which can be stopped using a push-piece in blocking the balance. The hour and minute then also stop and such a watch does not provide the services of a chronograph watch.



  The present invention relates to a chronograph wristwatch comprising a case which contains two movements each comprising a barrel, a gear train and an escapement, the first of these movements being intended to give the indication of hours and minutes and the second with stopping the balance and resetting the minute and second hands.



  The complicated mechanism of the chronograph is rendered unnecessary by the use of two movements which have parts known to every watchmaker, and therefore easy to repair. The price of the usual parts of a watch is cheaper than that of the special parts of the chronograph. Consequently, if usual elements are used, despite an apparent complication, the cost price of the watch described below will be lower than that of a so-called "chronograph" watch.



  The two movements can be completely separated from each other and each have its own winding mechanism. It is also possible to establish the two movements on the same plate and to arrange the winding mechanism so as to actuate the two motor springs simultaneously or alternatively. A single dial can also be provided with the hour and minute indications and the seconds and counter indications juxtaposed one beside the other.

Claims

CLAIM Wristwatch-chronograph, characterized in that it has in a case two movements each comprising a barrel, a gear train and an escapement, the first of these movements being intended to give the indication of the hours and minutes and the second having the stop of the balance, and the resetting to zero of the minute and second hands. SUB-CLAIMS: 1 Watch according to claim, characterized in that the two movements are totally separate from one another and each have their own winding mechanism. 2 Watch according to claim, characterized in that the two movements have a common plate while each having its own winding mechanism.

3 Watch according to claim, characterized in that it comprises a single winding mechanism combined so as to simultaneously actuate the two motor springs. 4 Watch according to claim, characterized in that it comprises a single winding mechanism alternately actuating the two motor springs. 5 Watch according to claim, characterized in that the dial bearing the hour and minute indications is juxtaposed to the dial bearing the seconds and counter indications.
