Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electronic timepiece of the type indicated in the preamble of claim 1.
  • An astronomical wristwatch having these features is described in the patent application EP 949 549 and can display, using the hour and minute hands, different astronomical indications in different modes selected by the user. Outside the time mode, the main function of each of the other modes is to indicate by a needle the direction of a star of the solar system relative to the zodiac, which is shown on the dial.
  • the watch may also display dates, including by means of a digital display, and provide the aforementioned astronomical indications for past or future dates.
  • the invention relates to a timepiece as defined in claim 1.
  • This may include converting and displaying in Gregorian calendar the Chinese New Year date of the current year or a past or future year.
  • the watch 20 has a box constituted as that of the watch described in the patent application EP 949 549 , with a rotating bezel 21 surrounding the lens and the dial 22, and an outer ring 23 connected to a rotary control rod which has several axial positions, one of which is a pushed position which closes an electrical contact, the rod and the ring being then returned to a neutral position by a spring.
  • the rotating bezel 21 and the ring 23 constitute the manual control means of the watch.
  • the dial 22 is associated with an analog clock display, including a conventional clock tower and hour hands 26, minutes 27 and seconds 28 having a common axis of rotation 29 at the center of the dial.
  • the watch also has a calendar display comprising a date disc 32, a small portion of which is visible in a window 33 of the dial, and a month indicator disc 34 which has an index 35 next to a scale of months 36
  • the two calendar indicators 32 and 34 rotate around needle axis 29, but a different arrangement is obviously possible.
  • the five indicators formed by the needles 26 to 28 and the disks 32 and 34 are driven individually, with appropriate reduction gears, by five electric stepper motors which are driven by the electronic circuits of the watch.
  • the date indicator disk 32 which is represented more particularly in FIG. figure 2 , is designed to be able to indicate in the window 33 not only the date, but also the phases of the moon. This is why the series of dates (bearing the reference 37) from 1 to 31 occupies only part of a circumference of the disc, while the rest of this circumference is occupied by a dark field 38 in the middle of which finds a circular image 39 of the moon, light in color.
  • the aperture 33 has an elongated shape whose two ends 40 and 41 are convex on the inside of the window, in order to impinge successively on the image 39 of the moon to represent its appearance in the sky on the present date.
  • the disk 32 is driven by its electric motor with a very high gear ratio, for example of the order of 1: 1000, which allows it to display a large number of different positions of the image 39 of the moon in the wicket 33, including a different position each day.
  • the dial 22 is divided into twelve equal sectors in which the Latin names of the constellations 44 of the western zodiac and the English names of the constellations 45 of the Chinese zodiac are respectively written, which are also the earthly twigs used to name the luni-solar Chinese calendar years: rat, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, snake, horse horse), goat (goat), monkey (monkey), rooster (rooster), dog (dog) and pig (pig).
  • the rotating bezel 21 serves as a selector of the different modes of operation of the watch 20. It has astronomical functions already described in the patent application. EP 949 549 mentioned above, to which the reader may refer for further details with regard to the astronomical functions described below and the construction of the watch in connection with these functions. It will be noted here that the different positions of the telescope, to select the operating modes, can be detected and indicated to the electronic circuits of the watch by any known device, for example that of the watch described in the patent application EP 738 944 , which consists of magnets included in the bezel and Reed contacts placed inside the watch.
  • the dial also bears a set of four symbols 46 mutually offset by 90 ° and respectively representing the winter solstice, the spring equinox, the summer solstice and the autumn equinox.
  • the watch 20 has a normal operating mode and twelve particular operating modes, for which twelve corresponding symbols are distributed at equal intervals on the telescope 21. These symbols are that of the sun 50, the symbols 51 to 59 of the nine planets of the solar system , the symbol 60 of the moon and a symbol 61 of the Chinese New Year.
  • the telescope 21 may be in any position because the watch automatically returns to this normal mode after a predetermined time (for example 10 seconds) passed in another mode.
  • a predetermined time for example 10 seconds
  • the hands 26 to 28 then indicate the current time
  • the disc 32 indicates either the current date or the moon phase if the last mode selected was the Moon mode
  • the disc 34 indicates by its index 35 the month, or more precisely the date along the 36 month scale.
  • the display When one of the symbols 50 to 61 is brought in front of the index 62 placed at 12 o'clock on the dial, the display remains in normal mode. Only when a brief pressure is applied on the crown 23 does the mode corresponding to the symbol engage, for the aforementioned duration, then the watch returns to normal mode.
  • the figure 3 represents the type of display obtained in the Chinese New Year (party mode) mode, which is selected by placing the corresponding symbol 61 in front of the index finger 62 of the dial and which is triggered by a brief pressure (shown by the arrow P) on the crown 23.
  • the display then indicates the Gregorian date of the Chinese New Year of the current year in the following manner: the discs 32 and 34 respectively indicate the date 37 and the month in the Gregorian calendar, while the last two digits of the Gregorian year are indicated by the needles 26 and 27 in front of the numbers of the 25 hour turn, the needle 26 indicating the digit of the tens (in this case 0) and the needle 28 indicating the number of units (in this case 5).
  • the seconds hand 28 is positioned in relation to the sectors representing the terrestrial branches of the Chinese years, indicating the earthly twigs of the year following the New Year or, as shown by the figure 3 , by standing at the edge of the two sectors whose terrestrial branches correspond to the previous year and the following year.
  • the display represents a Chinese New Year on February 9, 2005, marking the entry into the Year of the Rooster.
  • a rotation of the ring 23 in its neutral position has the effect of incrementing the year if the crown is rotated in the direction of the arrow R, or to decrement it in the event of rotation in the opposite direction .
  • the user can thus display the Gregorian date of the Chinese New Year in a range of one hundred years, extending here from 1951 to 2050.
  • Indicator elements 26, 27, 28, 32 and 35 show that in 1985 the Chinese New Year fell on February 20th and represented the passage from the year of the Rat to the Year of the Beef.
  • the user can then choose another year, by turning the ring 23, or return to the current year by a new pressure P on the crown. If one does not act on the control members 21 and 23 for the predetermined duration mentioned above, the display returns to the normal mode.
  • the electronic circuits of the watch control the five display engines from five corresponding variables which are stored as a table in non-volatile memory. .
  • the row-by-line navigation in this table can be controlled simply by means of two switches actuated by rotation of the rod associated with the ring gear 23.
  • the mode of operation just described is not limited to the display of one or more dates of the Chinese New Year, since it can be used in the same way to display the Gregorian date of any event in the year, since the successive dates of this event can be stored beforehand or calculated by an algorithm in the electronic circuits of the watch.
  • the astronomical modes represented by the symbols 50 of the sun and 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 67, 58 and 59 of the planets other than the earth have the following effect: the seconds hand 28 moves to a position where it indicates on the dial the current position of the body selected in the zodiac.
  • the display is then as shown in figure 5 , the needles 26 to 28 continuing to indicate the current time.
  • the needle 28 could also indicate the position of the planet concerned at a past or future date, selected by rotation of the ring 30, as described in the application EP 949 549 .
  • the display In the terrestrial mode corresponding to the symbol 53, the display remains in normal mode with indication of the date in the aperture 33, that is to say that if the moon phase is displayed, as in the case of the figure 1 it is replaced by the indication of the current date.
  • the user can choose to permanently display either the date by selecting the Earth mode or the moon phase by selecting the Moon mode and letting the watch return to normal mode.
  • the display takes the configuration shown in FIG. figure 6 , where the seconds hand 28 indicates the direction of the moon with respect to the zodiac 44, while the date disc 32 indicates not the date, but the age of the moon, in other words the date in the lunar month. This indication is replaced by that of the moon phase when the watch automatically returns to normal mode.
  • the dial and the display members may be arranged to display, in the normal mode, the dates according to the Chinese calendar or another calendar, for example Hebrew or Muslim, at place of the Gregorian calendar.
  • an electronic watch 70 whose mechanical construction is similar to that of the watch 20 described above, except that the two display disks 32 and 34 of the latter are replaced by two adjacent concentric disks. 72 and 74 for displaying the dates and other two-digit numbers in a window 73, each of these disks having at least a series of numbers from 0 to 9.
  • the rotating bezel 21 has here than eight positions, corresponding to eight modes of operation that will be defined below.
  • the watch 70 is arranged to convert and display dates of the Gregorian calendar into Chinese luni-solar calendar dates and vice versa.
  • the manual control members 21 and 23 are arranged to allow the user to select the values comprising a date of a first of these calendars, then to display the values of the corresponding date in the other calendar.
  • the display members are obviously arranged to be able to display said values, in this case in a sequential manner as will be described below.
  • the rotating bezel 21 functioning as a mode selector comprises, for the selection or display of a Gregorian date, three positions represented by the symbols 75 to 77 entitled DAY (day), MONTH (month) and YEAR (year).
  • the telescope carries four symbols 78 to 81 characterized by a different graphic from the previous ones and entitled DAY, MONTH, YEAR and CYCLE.
  • the eighth position of the telescope 21. marked with a symbol 82 may correspond to any mode, for example an initialization mode of the watch, which need not be described here.
  • the display members comprise, in addition to the aforementioned discs 72 and 74, the hour hands 26, minutes 27 and seconds 28 as in the previous example.
  • the dial 22 carries two concentric circular scales to indicate the Chinese denomination of the years in each traditional sixty-year cycle of the Chinese calendar.
  • a first scale 84 is divided into ten equal sectors in which are inscribed the names of the ten celestial trunks, while the second scale 85 is divided into twelve equal sectors bearing the names of the twelve terrestrial branches.
  • the inner region of the dial still carries a symbol 86 representing the additional lunar month or month a (LEAP MONTH) of the Chinese calendar, and two symbols 87 and 88 representing the 20 th century and 21 th century the Gregorian calendar.
  • the watch 70 operates in the following manner.
  • the current date is March 10, 2005.
  • the display is in the normal mode represented at figure 7 , the watch automatically returning to this mode from any other mode if no manipulation of the control members 21 and 23 is made for a preprogrammed time, for example ten seconds.
  • the hands 26 to 28 indicate the current time in the usual way on the 25 hour turn, while the disks 72 and 74 indicate the current date 10 in the counter 73.
  • the user ensures that the corresponding symbol 75 is in front of the main index 62, then it briefly presses the crown 23.
  • the needles 26 to 28 are then superimposed opposite the index 62 and the symbol 75 to indicate the entry into the Gregorian date mode, the latter remaining displayed in the window 73. If the user wanted to choose another Gregorian date, for example that of Christmas, he would have to turn the crown 23 in one direction or the other to increment or decrement the date until 25 appears in the box 73
  • the Gregorian month is then selected by placing the corresponding symbol 76 in front of the index finger 62 and the crown 23 is pressed. The number of the present month, that is, 03, is then displayed in the window. 73, while the needles remain superimposed in front of the index 62.
  • the Gregorian date thus selected is stored in the watch and can be converted to the date of the Chinese calendar immediately or later, even if the watch has returned to normal mode in the meantime.
