Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for switching the time display mode of an electronic watch with analog display, and to the associated watch.
  • WO 2009/121699 A1 relates to a mechanical watch comprising two separate time displays for a first and a second time zone, and a time zone indicator comprising a location ring associated with two apertures angularly offset by 1/24 of a revolution, one of which is used in combination with winter time and the other with summer time.
  • a first manual time-setting device enables the first and second time display to be set simultaneously.
  • a second manual time-setting device enables the second time display and the time zone indicator to be rotated together step by step without modifying the state of the first time display.
  • the aim of the present invention is to at least partially overcome the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • the invention it is possible to simultaneously display a first hour (advantageously, the time according to a first time zone) and a second hour (advantageously, the time according to a second time zone), and this as long as the means actuation is not manipulated.
  • the first hour is displayed by the main time indication means, while the second hour is displayed by the secondary time indication means.
  • the actuation means is manipulated, the two hours remain simultaneously displayed, but by the time indication means which are reversed: the first hour is then displayed by the secondary time indication means, while the second hour is displayed by the main means of time indication.
  • the analog indicator is used to indicate which time is displayed on which time indication means. If the indicator is in the characteristic position of the first mode, this means that the main time indication means display the first hour.
  • the main time indication means display the second time.
  • the indicator is preferably a needle, pointing in a first direction to indicate the first mode, and pointing in a second direction to indicate the second mode.
  • the method comprises placing the indicator in the first position characteristic of the first mode, from a first position working indicator.
  • the indicator is not dedicated to the indication of the time displayed by the main means. It only has this role following an initial actuation of the control member. Thus, before the initial actuation, it is in a first working position.
  • the indicator is for example the seconds hand, and the first working position is the position of the seconds hand at the time of the initial actuation of the control member.
  • the method comprises placing the indicator in a second working position, from the second position characteristic of the second mode.
  • the indicator is returned to a second working position, which advantageously corresponds to the current second if the indicator is the second hand.
  • the first hour and the second hour correspond to times according to two different time zones.
  • control member is configured so that an initial actuation of the control member, carried out in a temporary interval preceding the manipulation, places the indicator in the first position characteristic of the first mode, from a first working position of the indicator.
  • control member is configured to, following the permutation of the position of the indicator, placing the indicator in a second working position, from the second position characteristic of the second mode.
  • the indicator is the seconds hand, temporarily assigned to the indication of the time display mode following the initial actuation of the control member.
  • the indicator is dedicated to indicating the time display mode.
  • the indicator takes only two positions: the first position indicating the first mode, or the second position indicating the second mode.
  • the indicator has no other functions.
  • the indicator is a needle.
  • the needle points in a first direction to indicate the first mode, and points in a second direction to indicate the second mode.
  • the indicator is a disc, a portion of which is visible under an aperture of the watch.
  • the disc comprises two portions, one or the other possibly being visible through the window, each portion comprising a symbol representative of one of the modes.
  • the main time indication means are an hour hand and a minute hand
  • the secondary time indication means are a GMT hand.
  • the first hour and the second hour correspond to times according to two different time zones.
  • the watch includes a date display configured to display the date according to the time zone, the time of which is displayed by the main time display means.
  • the change of time zone can lead to the change of the date. It is therefore important that the date display be synchronized with the date of the time zone whose time is displayed by the main time display means.
  • control member is a crown with at least two axial positions.
  • a manipulation of the control member can then be a short pressure on the crown.
  • the invention also relates to a method PO for permutation of the time display mode of the watch MT previously described, of which the first embodiment (the indicator IN of the time display mode is the seconds hand) is described below with reference to figures 2 and following.
  • the watch MT is initially in the first display mode: the main time indication means PR indicate the time according to the first time zone, and the secondary time indication means SE indicate the time according to the time zone.
  • second time zone In the example shown in figure 1 showing the initial state of the MT watch, the time according to the first time zone is 10:05, the time in the second time zone is 8:05 a.m.
  • the IN indicator of the time display mode being the seconds hand, it initially displays the current second, it will be said that it is in a first working position.
  • a step E1 the control member ET undergoes an initial actuation (in the example described, this is understood to mean that the crown undergoes a first short pressure).
  • the IN indicator then moves temporarily to a first position (here, it moves to 10 o'clock), to indicate that the MT watch is initially in the first display mode.
  • a step E2 if the control unit ET does not undergo any subsequent manipulation (here, a second short press) within a certain time, for example 5 seconds, then the indicator IN resumes its function of indicating the seconds and takes a second working position in which it advantageously indicates the current second.
  • a subsequent manipulation here, a second short press
  • the permutations can be immediately canceled by a new manipulation of the control member ET (here, by a third short pressure on the crown).
  • the watch MT prefferably includes a date display QU and for the date associated with the main time indication means PR to change after the permutations. It is therefore important that the date display QU always follow the time zone displayed by the main time indication means PR.
  • step E4 occurring within a certain time after step E3 (for example 5 seconds), the indicator IN of the display mode resumes its function of indicating the seconds and is therefore repositioned in a second working position where it indicates the current second.
  • the indicator is dedicated to indicating the time display mode. In this case, only step E3 occurs when the control member ET is manipulated.
