Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. It relates more particularly to an electronic watch comprising a date display device.
  • the date can be indicated using a pivoting needle.
  • the date numbers are inscribed at least partially on the dial at the turn of the hour or on a dial schedule.
  • the demand for EP 0617346 which describes a watch having a chronograph provided with the case of a large or a small second hand.
  • the second hand can be reassigned to the date designation when the chronograph is not used.
  • the big needle of second is reassigned to the date display, the numbers from one to thirty-one are marked on the hour turn.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these disadvantages by providing an electronic watch with date display simpler to manufacture, more readable and with improved aesthetics.
  • the invention relates to an electronic watch comprising a display device comprising a clock face, a first needle and a second needle pivoting coaxially, driven independently by two driving members and indicating in a first display mode for one, the hour, and the other, the minutes of the current time with reference to their respective positions on the time dial.
  • the watch furthermore comprises a control member capable of activating a second display mode in which the first and second hands are positioned with reference to the hour dial so as to respectively indicate the ten and the date unit.
  • This arrangement provides a compact and inexpensive means of displaying the date without having to develop additional specific display means. It also improves the legibility of the information, especially for small watches. Lastly, by dispensing with additional display or marking means, it makes it possible to obtain a watch with a refined aesthetic.
  • the figure 1 represents an electronic watch made according to the teachings of the invention. It comprises a caseband 1 in which there is a conventional analog display composed of a time dial 2, a first hand 3 and a second hand 4 mounted pivoting and coaxial in the center of the dial 2. On the hour turn , on the periphery of the dial, there are twelve markers 5 regularly spaced thirty degrees which are intended to locate the angular position of the needles 3, 4 on the time dial 2 to facilitate the reading of time indications. A control member 6 whose role will be described later, is visible in the three o'clock position.
  • the watch also comprises a drive mechanism, an electronic time-keeping circuit providing a time-base signal from a time base connected to a division circuit, the electronic time-keeping circuit being powered by a source of time. electrical energy not shown.
  • the watch includes a first motor activated from the divided time base signal for clocking the time, via a first control circuit, which causes an analog time display 3 and a second motor activated from the basic signal. of divided time for clocking the minute, via a second control circuit, which causes an analog display of the minute 4.
  • the two needles are not kinematically connected by the drive mechanism but are driven by two step-by-step motors. not independent controlled by the electronic circuit.
  • the time-keeping circuit further comprises means for deriving from the time base signal, at the end of each day, a daily signal and a calendar circuit comprising at least one counter of days activated by the daily signal, the counter comprising a sub-time. counter of the tens of the date and a sub-counter of the date units.
  • the first and second control circuits respectively of the first and second motors respectively receive respectively a signal from the sub-counter of the tens and a sub-counter signal of the units, the signals of the two sub-meters being representative of their incremental state.
  • a hand 3, 4 indicates the hour and the other the minutes of the current time, with reference to their respective angular positions on the time dial 2.
  • the time is set by example by the rotation of the control member 6 previously positioned axially in a setting position.
  • the position of one of the needles 3, 4 is electronically controlled at the position of the other needle 3, 4 so that the angular positions of the two needles 3, 4 remain consistent vis-à-vis the time displayed.
  • the driving needle is that indicating the minutes and the slave hand is that of hours.
  • the watch has a second display mode that can be activated on demand by pressing on the control member 6.
  • This pressure makes it possible to generate a call signal of the date so that in this second display mode, the watch indicates the date instead of indicating the time.
  • the first control circuit makes it possible to place the first hand 3 in the position corresponding to the tens digit of the date representative of the state of the tens undercounter while the second control circuit makes it possible to place the second hand 4 in the position corresponding to the units of the date representative of the state of the sub-counter of the units.
  • the date is set when the second display mode is activated either by rotating the control member 6 in the adjustment position or by pressing a not shown adjustment pushbutton.
  • a new pressure on the control member 6 returns to the first display mode.
  • the return to the first display mode can also be performed automatically after a delay of a predefined duration.
  • the digits zero to three of the tens are given by the first hand 3 respectively in the positions of noon to three o'clock of the time dial 2.
  • the numbers zero to nine of the units are given by the second hand 4 respectively in the positions of noon to nine hours.
  • the positions of the first 3 and second 4 hands respectively indicating the tens and the units of the date are ordered in the clockwise direction. It seems more natural that the small hour hand is the first hand 3 indicating the tens and that the large minute hand is the second hand 4 units but it could also be the opposite.
  • the first needle 3 is in one hour position and the second hand 4 is in the three o'clock position.
  • the displayed date is thirteen. Storage means make it possible to keep in memory and to modify all the time information independently of the active display mode.
  • the invention also relates to a skeleton watch devoid of a dial.
  • the hour dial 2 is understood as a geometric object for identifying the angular position of the needles in reference to the zenith position. It is not linked to a particular part of the watch, the angular registration being able for example to be given by the caseband, the plate or the ice.
  • the control member 6 is here the crown setting time but could just as easily be a different way as a push button.
  • the watch according to the invention makes it possible to dispense with date-specific display means such as a date disc or one or more ancillary dials.
  • the figure 2 represents a variant of the display of the calendar of a watch according to the invention.
  • the positions of the first 3 and second 4 hands indicating the tens and the units of the date are ordered in opposite directions, in the clockwise direction for the units and in the counterclockwise direction for the tens.
  • the zero, one, two and three digits of the calendar day correspond to the respective positions at noon, eleven, ten and nine o'clock of the time dial 2.
  • the positions of the second hand 4 indicate the date units from zero to nine correspond to the respective positions from noon to nine o'clock in the hourly dial.
  • the first 3 and second 4 needles share the positions zero, one, two and three. Two days a month, the two needles are superimposed which can be a source of confusion especially when the view is impaired or visibility is low. In addition, it is possible to switch the needle indicating the units with the one indicating the tens. This risk may seem low since the corresponding dates are separated by at least three days. On the other hand, the risk of confusion will be maximum if the reversal takes place during the adjustment of the date.
  • the configuration proposed in the second embodiment avoids this pitfall by dissociating the display areas tens and units. The 12 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions remain common but there can be no overlap and the risk of reversal is limited since it The two needles should be swapped in the same display area, but the display zones themselves should be swapped in addition to the needles.
  • the figure 3 represents a third embodiment of the display of the date, here again in the position indicating the number thirteen.
  • the zero digit of the tens and units corresponds to the six hour common position of the hour dial.
  • the date units are increasingly ordered in the counter-clockwise direction.
  • the successive positions corresponding to the units are spaced three minutes apart.
  • the numbers of the tens are ordered clockwise and their position corresponds to the six, seven, eight and nine o'clock hour markers.
  • a marking 7 of the numbers corresponding to the units and tens of the date has been worn on the hour for clarity.
  • the angular space between the indications of the tens is thus different from that between the indications of the units but could equally well be identical.
  • Each of the unit marks from zero to nine are on the right side of the zero to six hour clock.
  • the indications of the tens are on the left side of the dial from six to twelve o'clock.
  • the unit or ten values indicated by the hands in a given position no longer correspond to those of the hours of the time dial in the analogous position.
  • the advantage of separating the dial in two parts in a vertical direction is to reproduce the natural arrangement of a two-digit number in which the tens digit is to the left of the units digit. This also respects the most common reading direction from left to right. Thus the reading of the date is more intuitive if the hand of tens is in the left part of the dial and the needle of the units in the right part.
  • the zero value in the six o'clock position is also natural since the lowest position corresponds to the lowest value.
  • the electronic watchmaking circuit controlling the display pointer driving motors is arranged to manage the display of the date according to a calendar circuit.
  • perpetual calendar type A management unit of a perpetual calendar circuit comprising counters of days, months and years making it possible to control the rotation of a disk of the dates is known for example from documents CH 663 512 and US4,300,222 which are hereby incorporated by reference with respect to the perpetual calendar management unit.
