Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a timepiece, in particular a wristwatch having an analog display comprising at least two hands controlled independently.
  • the primary function of the two hands is to display the current time. It is known to use the hands of an analog display to indicate to a user other physical quantities, for example the power reserve of the watch or the date.
  • Hands known to those skilled in the art have various and varied shapes to enable each timepiece to be given a particular aesthetic appearance.
  • At least two hands of the timepiece each have a machined profile so as to form together at least a first image when it has a first angular offset and a second image. distinct from the first image when it has a second angular offset different from said first offset.
  • This timepiece comprises control means for, in a recreational operating mode, dynamically varying the angle between these two hands according to a defined sequence comprising at least the succession of the first angular offset and the second angular offset, so as to display a specific animation.
  • the dial of the analog display comprises one or more elements represented on its surface and the angular positions of said two needles in the recreational operating mode is selected so that the animation provided is associated with this or these element (s) of the dial.
  • the animation thus results from the combination of the dynamic variation of the angle between the two hands and their angular positions relative to the dial.
  • the dial thus forms a decoration for the planned animation.
  • Watch 2 of Figure 1 includes an analog display of the current time formed by a dial 4 and two hands 6 and 8 whose shape allows to indicate the hour and the minute in conventional manner, using one hour turn 10.
  • This hour turn is defined here by a circular graduation, but other known configurations can be provided in other variants of the invention.
  • Figure 4 is partially shown the arrangement of the movement of Figure 2.
  • the needles 6 and 8 are driven by two motors M1 and M2. These two motors are independently controlled. It is thus possible, for any position of the needle 6, to select various angular offsets between the needles 6 and 8, and this without limitation.
  • the needles 6 and 8 are mechanically coupled to the engine by cogs 12 and 14 known to those skilled in the art.
  • the needles are controlled by control means 16 which actuate the motors M1 and M2.
  • FIGs 2 and 3 (2A, 2B; 3A, 3B) is shown the operation of the watch according to the invention in a recreational mode where the analog display is used to display an animation.
  • the activation of this specific operating mode can for example be done via the control rod 18.
  • FIGS. 2A to 3B define a sequence of four different images obtained by varying the angular offset D1, D2 between the needles 6 and 8.
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B define an elementary sequence of two images in a recreational operating mode of the watch where a shark 20 swallows a fish 22.
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B define either another elementary sequence of two images, or the continuation of the sequence of images of FIG. 2. In the latter case, the shark eats the fish in two times or two bites.
  • the profile of the hands 6 and 8 is machined so that they allow a conventional indication of the minute and the hour, as represented in FIG. 1, while representing a shark with the mouth more or less open as a function of the angular offset D1, D2 between these two needles.
  • the angular positions ⁇ 1, ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2, ⁇ 2 of the two hands are selected during the planned animation so that elements represented on the dial participate in this animation.
  • the shark 20 can eat the fish 22 or another animal, an octopus or a seahorse represented on the dial.
  • the dial therefore forms a background for the animation with certain elements which directly participate in the scenario of this animation.
