  • the means for correcting the display means comprise a reference which meshes directly with the roadway.
  • the annular shape of the frame makes it possible to arrange the mobiles of the gear train of finishing so that their axes of rotation are substantially arranged on a circle of diameter equal to (D + d) / 2.
  • Such a solution is particularly well suited to movements of the type mechanical, in which the energy source is formed by a barrel, the base time of a balance wheel, the exhaust counting device, the barrel and the pendulum pivoting on axes substantially arranged on this circle.
  • the central opening allows many uses, for example display additional information.
  • the movement has a date mechanism, arranged on the side opposite the dial, comprising two display discs, one of the tens, the other of the units, the date appearing in the opening. It is thus possible to display the date with particularly figures great.
  • the roadway and the barrel wheel each has a tubular portion, one engaged in the other, the tubular portion of the floor being positioned in the central opening, so that it can rotate freely.
  • the timer mobile and the teeth of the roadway and the cannon wheel are arranged on the bottom side of the frame.
  • the tubular portion of the roadway is defined by an inside diameter and an outside diameter, the outside diameter being slightly smaller than d , so that it can rotate freely in the opening while the tubular portion of the wheel is defined by an outside diameter slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the tubular portion of the roadway, so that the cannon wheel can rotate there freely.
  • tubular portion of the barrel wheel as housing an object, which may have a technical function, such as a lens or compass, or aesthetic, such as a gem.
  • the timer mobile and the teeth of the roadway and the cannon wheel are arranged on the dial side of the frame.
  • the tubular portion of the roadway is defined by its outside diameter, a first part of which is engaged in the opening, the outside diameter being slightly smaller than d so that it can rotate freely in the opening, and a second part disposed outside the opening and intended to carry the minute hand, and on which the barrel wheel is engaged.
  • tubular portion of the floor as accommodation intended to receive an object, which may have a technical function such than a lens or a compass, or an aesthetic such as a gem.
  • the frame 10 has an annular shape, with an outside diameter D and an inside diameter d which defines a central opening 48. It is dimensioned so that D is slightly greater than 3d, typically between 3.1d and 3.3d.
  • the winding and setting mechanism 46 includes a stem time setting 50, intended to be manipulated from outside the watch, a sliding pinion, not visible in the drawing, a winding pinion 52, these being mounted on the rod 50, as well as a winding train 54 comprising a crown wheel and a ratchet wheel which connects the winding pinion to barrel 16 to arm the spring which the latter comprises ( Figure 1).
  • the mechanism 46 further comprises two references 56 and 58 shown on the Figure 2, engaged with each other and meshing respectively with the pinion flowing and with pavement 38, as well as a zipper, a scale and a bridge long necklace, which were not referenced, because not participating directly in the invention.
  • the pivot axes of the barrel 16, the moving parts of the gear train 26 and the escapement 20, as well as the balance 18 are substantially arranged on a circle C whose diameter ⁇ is substantially equal to (D + d) / 2. All these mobiles are placed on the dial side of the plate 12. They are held in place by one or more bridges which have not been shown. This particular arrangement makes it possible to make visible, below the dial, the components of the watch which have the most attractive aesthetic characteristics.
  • the large pinion medium 28b is engaged in the plate 12 and includes a tigeron 28c, which protrudes from the latter and, on which the timer mobile 36 is mounted by its pinion 36b.
  • This one, tubular in shape includes a lantern 36c which cooperates with the tigeron 28c to provide a friction connection.
  • This configuration causes the timer mobile 36 to rotate with the mobile large medium 28, except when setting the time, the timer pinion 36b then sliding on the tigeron 28c because of the friction connection.
  • the roadway 38 includes a tubular portion 38a, the outside diameter of which is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the opening 48, so that it can rotate freely and whose length is sufficient to cross the frame 10 and exceed a height allowing the hunting of the 40 minute hand.
  • the barrel wheel 42 also comprises a tubular portion 42a, the outside diameter is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the portion 38a, so that the barrel wheel can be engaged in the pavement and turn freely.
  • the portion 42a is high enough to protrude from the portion 38a and allow the attachment of the hour hand 44.
  • the 40 minute hand performs one revolution per hour and that of the hours one revolution in 12 hours. it means that the teeth of the timer mobile 36, of the roadway 38 and of the cannon wheel 42 must be numbered so that the ratio of gears is equal to 1/12.
  • the opening 48 has a diameter d substantially equal to D / 3
  • the timer wheel 36a and the roadway 38 have the same diameter.
  • the roadway 38 also includes a tubular portion 38a, formed of two separate parts.
  • the first part which extends towards the bottom side, is engaged in opening 48.
  • the second part which protrudes from the face of the frame on the dial side, constitutes a support for the 40 minute hand.
  • barrel is also provided with a tubular portion 42a, but disposed on and surrounding the tubular portion 38a of the roadway in its second part, and not engaged in the opening 48, as described in the first mode of production.
  • Such a variant makes it possible to place the 44 hour and minute hands 40 in a conventional manner. Additionally, as a single tubular portion is engaged in the opening 48, the diameter thereof may be slightly more tall.
  • the opening 48 is simply left empty, and the box 61 is provided with a bottom 62 produced by means of a glass, so that it is possible to see through the watch in its central part.
  • the opening 48 can also serve as a receptacle for an object, as illustrated in Figures 7 to 9. Depending on whether the movement corresponds to the first or to the second embodiment described above, this object will be housed either in the tubular portion 42a of the barrel wheel, or in the tubular portion 38a of the timer.
  • the object associated with the watch shown in FIG. 7 is a compass 64, which rotates with the wheel, the tubular part of which serves as a housing.
  • the bottom 62 may be opaque.
  • FIG. 8 uses the tubular portion serving as a housing for receive a gem 66, for example a diamond or a zircon.
  • a gem 66 for example a diamond or a zircon.
  • Such a solution gives the watch a jewel-like appearance, while keeping a great sobriety.
  • the bottom 62 of the box 61 at less in its central part, or transparent. This contributes to the brightness of the gem.
  • FIG. 9 represents a watch in which the bottom 62 carries an image 68, which can be enlarged by means of a magnifying glass 70 carried by the portion tubular 38a or 42a.
  • FIG. 10 relates to a watch similar to that of FIG. 9, the image being replaced by a date display 72 with a large window.
  • This display is achieved by means of two discs 74 and 76 displaying one of the units and the other the tens, these two discs being driven by a mechanism such as that described in patent CH 310 559 for example.
  • the movements described with reference to Figures 1 to 5 are of the type mechanical. it is obvious that, in a very comparable way, the essential characteristics of the invention can be found in the electromechanical watches.
  • the energy source is a battery or an accumulator
  • the time base a quartz
  • the counting device a electronic circuit and a stepper motor.
  • the basic components of the movement essentially occupy the portion of the frame 10 between 3 and 9 hours.
  • the other parts of this frame 10 can serve as a support for other mechanisms such as a rehearsal, a chronograph, etc. It would also possible to have the gear train 26 and timer 34 on the side background and place a disk display device on the dial side, displaying for example the day and the date.
