Definitions

  • More and more complicated watches, or watches with multiple displays, are made from a conventional or standard watch movement on which one or more modules are superimposed, each of these comprising a particular mechanism, chronograph, moon phase, calendar. perpetual, power reserve, tide indicator, etc.
  • Such additional modules or such complicated watches are for example known from documents CH 671.317G; EP 0.501.190, CH 604.237; CH 647.125G; CH 577.204; or CH 527.462
  • This modular design of a complicated watch or one with a special display is advantageous because the same basic movement can be used to produce different watches by adding different modules.
  • each independent module has a height given by its plate or base and its mechanism.
  • the superposition of several such modules results in excessive height of the complete part. This is particularly highlighted in Figure 1 illustrating the current concept of superimposing modules on a basic movement.
  • the object of the present invention is the production of additional modules for a clockwork movement which allow space gain in height, thereby reducing the overall height of a given timepiece; reduce the number of parts required and therefore the cost of these modules and timepieces; to allow a rationalization of the assembly and assembly operations, the modules being able to be assembled independently of the basic movement; and finally to enable the driving of the additional modules from any mobile of the basic movement.
  • the present invention relates to an additional module for a timepiece movement and a timepiece movement comprising at least one such additional module.
  • the existing modular movements are all of the type illustrated in FIG. 1, that is to say that they comprise a basic movement 1 provided with a winding and / or time-setting rod 2 and a PTO 3 driving the switch displaying the time and the additional module (s) I or II.
  • Each additional module I, II consists of a plate 4, 4 'on which is mounted or assembled a mechanism 5, 5' chrono, moon phase, perpetual calendar etc resulting in an additional display.
  • the watch movement comprises several additional modules, at least two, these are stacked on top of each other as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • Each additional module has its own plate, the height of the movement quickly becomes prohibitive.
  • the modules which must be part of the same movement cannot generally be assembled independently of one another or of the basic movement, which makes the assembly operations long and complicated.
  • the originality of the present invention lies in the design of additional double modules, inverted, that is to say comprising a plate and at least two different mechanisms, each mounted on one of the opposite faces of the plate and intended to drive different displays.
  • each mechanism of the additional module is driven by a PTO separate from the basic movement.
  • FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a basic movement 6 provided with a winding and / or time-setting rod 7, with a first power take-off 8 for driving the time switch and simultaneously with the first mechanism A with additional module M and a second PTO 9 for driving the second mechanism B of module M, these two mechanisms A and B being mounted on the same plate C, on each of the opposite faces of this plate.
  • timepiece comprising a basic movement 6, 7, 8, 9 comprising a third PTO 10 on its lower face, assembled with three modules M1, M2, M3, two superimposed on its upper face and one on its lower face.
  • Such a timepiece can thus have six different displays in addition to the traditional time display.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates an additional module, the plate of which, on each of its faces, the mechanisms A and B, consists of two parts C, D made of identical or different materials.
  • part C of the plate can be made of steel to provide the necessary mechanical rigidity while the other part D can be made of a material constituting a magnetic screen for example.
  • FIG. 7 is a top view of the basic movement 6 comprising two power take-offs, one 8 for driving a date mechanism and the other 9 for driving a chronograph mechanism.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates the double module seen from below, that is to say from the side intended to be directed towards the upper face of movement 6, and we see in plan the chronograph mechanism A, fixed on a plate C, mechanism driven by the PTO 9.
  • the other side of the plate C includes the date mechanism B.
  • the second mechanism B (FIG. 5) is arranged and designed so that through passages are provided giving passage to the axis of the chronograph wheel 10, to the axis 11 of the chrono seconds wheel and to the axis chrono 12 minute counter so that these axes cause corresponding indicators cooperating with a dial fixed on the upper face of the second date mechanism B.
  • FIG 8 shows the mounting of the double module A, B, C on the basic movement 6 and the hands of the time switch 13, 14 driven by this movement 6, the chrono hand 15, the chrono seconds hand 16 and the hand of the chrono minute counter 34 driven by the first mechanism A as well as the date 36 and month counter hands 19 driven by the second mechanism B of the module.
  • Mechanism A is a chronograph mechanism also of traditional design, comprising: a second wheel 20 carrying the second hand 16 driven by the wheel 9 of the basic movement 6.
  • the axis of the wheel crosses the coaxial mobile 24 of the perpetual calendar, carrying the month indication hand 19 and a leap year counter 25.
  • the wheel 20 drives via the chrono driving wheel 30 the chrono wheel 31 carrying the chrono hand 15.
  • the chrono wheel 31 drives through the intermediate minute counter wheel (not shown in the section), the minute counter wheel 33 carrying the minute counter hand 34.
  • the wheel 33 coaxially crosses the mobile 35 of the perpetual calendar, carrying the hand indicating the seven days of week 36.
  • the timer wheel 8 of the basic movement is extended and drives via the wheel 41 the roadway 42 carrying the minute hand 13 as well as the hour wheel 43 carrying the hour hand 14 (the two coaxial with wheel 31).
  • the additional module is fixed to the basic movement by several screw feet 50, and spacers 52, all kept by means of screws 51.
  • the C1 and C2 commands of the chronograph are classic and allow the start-stop functions, and return to zero, the same goes for the perpetual calendar correctors C3.
  • the fixing of the dial 53 can be of any type; in this case, the dial is set in a ring 54 driven out on the module.
  • FIGS 8 and 9 illustrate an additional module with two mechanisms with coaxial displays
  • Figures 10 to 12 illustrate a module comprising two mechanisms with non-coaxial displays.
  • Mechanism D is a 31-day calendar mechanism of traditional design.
  • the timer wheel 8 of the basic movement 6 is extended and drives via the mobile 60 and its driving finger 61 the 31-day date disc 63.
  • the date disc is positioned by a jumper 62.
  • the correction of the date is obtained by means of a corrector.
  • the wheel 8 also drives via the wheel 71 the roadway 72 carrying the minute hand 73 as well as the hour wheel carrying the hand 75 hours (both coaxial with the chrono axis).
  • Mechanism A is the same chronograph mechanism as for the mechanisms with coaxial displays described and illustrated before.
