  • the minute counter jumper 34 is subjected to the action of a return spring 37.
  • the two hammers being in support on the basis of their respective heart ( Fig. 6 and 7 ) the watchmaker only has to adjust the angular position of the minute counter jumper support 34 so that this jumper 34 is in contact with two adjacent teeth of the minute counter wheel 4 and to fix said support 35 in this position with the aid of the screw 36.
  • the synchronization of the hammers 6, 21 is carried out automatically.
  • watchmakers do not need to ensure an adjustment of the contact of the hammers on the hearts.
  • the contacts are provided by the spring of each hammer and oblong clearance or drilling 24 in the hammer seconds. It is sufficient for watchmakers to adjust the minute counter jumper so that the two planes of the jumper are in contact with the teeth of the minute counter wheel by means of the support of the jumper centered and pivoting about the axis of the meter. minute counter. There is no adjustment of hammers to perform on the hearts, no adjustment of the hammer failure minutes by filing.
  • the setting of the minute counter jumper is simplified by means of its support centered on the axis of the minute counter, the setting is not a problem to position the jumper of the minute counter and define the force necessary for a good operation of the minute counter.
  • the spout B of the seconds hammer 21 is moved anticlockwise by a column C of the column wheel 1.
  • the minutes hammer being driven by the connecting member 29, the retaining pawl 16 is moved counterclockwise, its ramp 17 sliding on the hammer lock 33 until such time as the latch hammer 33 exceeds the spout 18 of the pawl 16 and that it returns to the rest position under the effect of its return spring thereby placing said latch 33 in the retaining housing of the pawl 16.
  • the spout B of the hammer seconds comes to rest on a column C of the column wheel 1, figure 2 .
  • the hammer lock 33 is retracted and the hammers 6, 21 fall on their corresponding cores 5, 3 and set the chronograph counters to zero, figure 3 .
  • the holding member 29 keeps the seconds hammer 21 at a determined distance from the hammer minutes 6, while leaving an angular fringe amplitude determined between these two hammers.
  • This connecting member 29 may be a screw, a rivet etc.
  • the hook 16 of the hammer minutes is fixed and integral with the hammer 6.
  • the latch 33 is mounted on a support pivoting on an axis parallel to the axis 7 of pivoting hammers.
  • the seconds hammer could be driven on the pivot axis 7 and it is then the minute hammer that would be pivoted freely on the bearing surface 8 of this pivot axis.
  • the two hammers seconds and minutes could be pivoted freely on the pivot axis 7.
  • a washer 40 ( figure 5 ) is driven on the pivot axis 7 and serves as an axial stop for the two hammers 6, 21.
  • this new construction of the chronograph mechanism can also be used in a chronograph mechanism without a column wheel, for example a chronograph cam mechanism.
