Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une pièce d'horlogerie mécanique pourvue d'un tourbillon.The present invention relates to a mechanical timepiece provided of a whirlwind.
On sait que, lorsque l'échappement d'une montre mécanique se trouve en position verticale, la gravitation terrestre accélère ou, au contraire, freine l'oscillation de son balancier, entraínant soit une avance soit un retard. Afin de compenser ces écarts de marche, Abraham-Louis Breguet proposa, en 1801, un organe régulateur exceptionnel, le tourbillon qui équipe maintenant des montres haut-de-gamme.We know that when the escapement of a mechanical watch is in vertical position, earth's gravitation accelerates or, on the contrary, brakes the oscillation of its pendulum, causing either an advance or a delay. In order to compensate for these deviations, Abraham-Louis Breguet proposed, in 1801, an exceptional regulatory body, the tourbillon which now equips high-end watches.
Dans un tourbillon, une cage mobile est entraínée par le barillet, au travers du rouage, à raison d'un tour par minute. Cette cage porte, en son centre, le balancier-spiral. La roue d'échappement est entraínée par un pignon décentré par rapport à l'axe de la cage, appelé pignon satellite, qui s'engrène sur une roue fixe. En tournant, la cage annule ainsi les écarts de marche de la montre.In a vortex, a mobile cage is driven by the barrel, through the cog, at the rate of one revolution per minute. This cage carries, in its center, the sprung balance. The escape wheel is driven by an off-center gear relative to the axis of the cage, called the satellite pinion, which meshes on a fixed wheel. By turning, the cage thus cancels the movement deviations of the watch.
Les constructeurs horlogers ont toujours cherché à montrer le mécanisme raffiné et prestigieux que constitue le tourbillon du côté cadran, doté à cet endroit d'une ouverture appropriée. Ce choix rendant difficile l'affichage de la date par un disque dans un guichet, les montres à tourbillon proposées jusqu'ici comportent généralement un affichage du quantième à l'aide d'une petite aiguille qui, d'un point de vue esthétique, fait concurrence au tourbillon, ou occupe alors une place qui pourrait être affectée à l'affichage de fonctions plus haut de gamme (réserve de marche, équation du temps, température, chronographe,...). Il est, par ailleurs, difficile de lire le quantième du mois lorsqu'il est affiché au moyen d'une aiguille, comme cela est le cas pour la montre « Tourbillon automatique avec quantième perpétuel » commercialisée par la maison Blancpain.Watch manufacturers have always sought to show the mechanism refined and prestigious that constitutes the tourbillon on the dial side, endowed with this appropriate opening location. This choice makes it difficult to display the date by a disc in a window, the tourbillon watches offered so far generally include a date display using a small needle which, from an aesthetic point of view, competes with the tourbillon, or occupies a place which could be assigned to the display of functions more upscale (power reserve, equation of time, temperature, chronograph,...). It is, moreover, difficult to read the calendar of the month when displayed by means of a needle, as is the case for the “Automatic tourbillon with perpetual calendar” watch marketed by the Blancpain house.
La firme Audemars Piguet a développé une montre, appelée « Tourbillon Grande Date Jules Audemars », qui est équipée d'un affichage du quantième dans un guichet. La solution retenue implique que l'affichage se fasse au moyen de deux disques, l'un des dizaines, l'autre des unités, ce qui demande une énergie importante et occupe une grande surface du cadran, empêchant l'affichage d'autres informations.Audemars Piguet has developed a watch called “Tourbillon Big Date Jules Audemars ", which is equipped with a date display in a counter. The solution adopted implies that the posting be done at two discs, one of the tens, the other of the units, which requires significant energy and occupies a large area of the dial, preventing displaying other information.
Les deux montres précitées sont décrites, par exemple, dans la revue « Classe Evasion » No 6, mars 2001, éditée par l'AGEFI (Suisse).The two aforementioned watches are described, for example, in the review "Classe Evasion" No 6, March 2001, published by AGEFI (Switzerland).
La présente invention a pour but de proposer une pièce d'horlogerie à tourbillon qui peut fournir une indication de la date, ou de toute autre valeur souhaitée par le constructeur, sans occuper, sur le cadran, une place trop importante nuisant au tourbillon ou prenant la place de fonctions plus prestigieuses.The object of the present invention is to propose a timepiece to tourbillon which can provide an indication of the date, or any other value desired by the manufacturer, without occupying too much space on the dial significant harming the vortex or taking the place of more functions prestigious.
De façon plus précise, l'invention concerne une pièce d'horlogerie du type comportant une platine et, montés sur celle-ci, une base de temps formée d'un tourbillon comprenant une cage mobile en rotation apparaissant dans une ouverture pratiquée dans son cadran, et des moyens d'affichage d'informations horaires commandés à partir de la base de temps. Cette pièce est principalement caractérisée en ce que lesdits moyens d'affichage comportent un anneau mobile en rotation apparaissant dans l'ouverture du cadran autour de la cage du tourbillon, coaxialement à elle, et des organes d'entraínement de cet anneau .More specifically, the invention relates to a timepiece of the type comprising a stage and, mounted thereon, a time base formed a vortex comprising a rotating mobile cage appearing in an opening in its dial, and display means time information ordered from the time base. This piece is mainly characterized in that said display means have a rotating mobile ring appearing in the opening of the dial around the tourbillon cage, coaxially to it, and the organs of this ring.
