Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUETECHNICAL AREA

L'invention a trait au domaine de l'horlogerie. Elle concerne, plus précisément, un mouvement horloger à remontage automatique, destiné à équiper une montre bracelet.The invention relates to the field of watchmaking. It relates, more specifically, to a self-winding watch movement, intended to equip a wristwatch.

ART ANTERIEURPRIOR ART

Les premiers mécanismes horlogers à remontage automatique documentés datent de la fin du 18e siècle. Ces mécanismes ont connu de nombreux perfectionnements. Un mécanisme typique, aujourd'hui largement répandu, comprend une masse oscillante sous forme d'un rotor dont la rotation est transmise au barillet via un rouage réducteur.The first documented self-winding watch mechanisms date from the end of the 18th century. These mechanisms have undergone numerous improvements. A typical mechanism, today widely used, comprises an oscillating mass in the form of a rotor, the rotation of which is transmitted to the barrel via a reduction gear train.

Classiquement, un rotor comprend un moyeu, par lequel il est fixé (avec possibilité de rotation) sur la platine du mouvement, une jante (ou « support ») solidaire du moyeu, ainsi qu'un secteur annulaire lourd (ou « pesant ») solidaire de la jante et qui, par le déséquilibre qu'il induit dans la répartition des masses du rotor, entraîne celui-ci en rotation lors des mouvements de la montre.Conventionally, a rotor comprises a hub, by which it is fixed (with the possibility of rotation) on the stage of the movement, a rim (or "support") integral with the hub, as well as a heavy annular sector (or "heavy") integral with the rim and which, by the imbalance which it induces in the distribution of the masses of the rotor, causes the latter to rotate during the movements of the watch.

Dans de nombreuses montres, les aiguilles sont situées du côté d'une face avant de la platine et le rotor est au contraire situé du côté d'une face arrière de la platine, c'est-à-dire du côté opposé aux aiguilles.In many watches, the hands are located on the side of a front face of the plate and the rotor is on the contrary located on the side of a rear face of the plate, that is to say on the side opposite the hands.

Cependant il existe des réalisations dans lesquelles le rotor est situé du même côté que les aiguilles, cf. par ex. le brevet suisse CH 703 964 . Ces réalisations, qui sont intéressantes pour la distraction que procure au porteur le spectacle du pivotement du rotor, ne vont cependant pas sans inconvénient.However, there are embodiments in which the rotor is located on the same side as the needles, cf. eg. the swiss patent CH 703 964 . These achievements, which are interesting for the distraction that provides the wearer the spectacle of the rotor pivoting, however, is not without drawbacks.

Le mouvement horloger proposé dans le brevet CH 703 964 prévoit le passage des canons des heures et des minutes dans une ouverture centrale ménagée dans le moyeu du rotor, lequel est disposé entre le corps du mouvement horloger (incluant la platine, les ponts et les mobiles montés pivotants entre la platine et les ponts) et les aiguilles des heures et des minutes.The watch movement proposed in the patent CH 703 964 provides for the passage of the hour and minute barrels in a central opening formed in the hub of the rotor, which is disposed between the body of the watch movement (including the plate, the bridges and the mobiles pivotally mounted between the plate and the bridges) and hour and minute hands.

Il en résulte que les aiguilles des heures et des minutes sont situées à une assez grande distance du corps du mouvement, et en particulier d'une éventuelle graduation de lecture des heures.As a result, the hour and minute hands are located at a fairly large distance from the body of the movement, and in particular from a possible scale for reading the hours.

Cette disposition est problématique car, d'une part, elle nuit à une lecture précise de l'heure. D'autre part, son esthétique est contestable en raison de l'espace important séparant les aiguilles et le corps du mouvement (en tenant compte du fait que cet espace est au moins en partie comblé par le rotor).This provision is problematic because, on the one hand, it interferes with an accurate reading of the time. On the other hand, its aesthetics is questionable due to the large space separating the hands and the body of the movement (taking into account the fact that this space is at least partly filled by the rotor).

Un objectif de l'invention est par conséquent, dans un mouvement horloger à remontage automatique et à rotor situé du côté de l'affichage de l'heure, de résoudre les problèmes mentionnés.An objective of the invention is therefore, in a watch movement with automatic winding and a rotor situated on the side of the time display, to solve the problems mentioned.

The winder comprises a winding mechanism 13 by which the winding rod 11 meshes, in a winding position, the secondary toothed wheel 9 of the barrel 5 to manually rotate it and thus wind the spring.

Le mouvement 1 comprend, en quatrième lieu, une chaussée 14 montée en rotation par rapport à la platine 2 autour d'un axe A central. La chaussée comprend un canon 15 des minutes qui porte une aiguille 16 des minutes.The movement 1 comprises, fourthly, a carriageway 14 mounted in rotation relative to the plate 2 around a central axis A. The roadway includes a 15 minute cannon which carries a 16 minute hand.

La chaussée 14 est en relation d'engrenage avec la roue 6 dentée primaire du barillet par l'intermédiaire d'un rouage 17 de minuterie.

The roadway 14 is in gear relation with the primary toothed wheel 6 of the barrel via a gear train 17 of timer.
More specifically, and according to an embodiment illustrated in particular on the FIG. 7 , the carriageway 14 comprises a pinion 18 for the minutes, integral with the barrel 15 for the minutes (or formed in a single piece with the latter), and the gear train 17 for a timer comprises a timer wheel 19.1 meshing with the minute gear.

Le rouage 17 de minuterie est monté en rotation par rapport à la platine 2.The timer train 17 is mounted in rotation relative to the plate 2.

Le mouvement 1 comprend, en cinquième lieu, un mobile 20 des heures, monté en rotation par rapport à la platine 2 autour de l'axe A central. Le mobile des heures comprend un canon 21 des heures qui porte une aiguille 22 des heures.The movement 1 comprises, in the fifth place, a mobile 20 for the hours, mounted in rotation relative to the plate 2 around the central axis A. The hour mobile includes a 21 hour cannon which carries a 22 hour hand.

Le mobile 20 des heures est en relation d'engrenage avec la chaussée 14. Plus précisément, et selon un mode de réalisation illustré sur la FIG.7, le mobile des heures comprend un pignon 23 des heures, solidaire du canon 21 des heures (ou formé de manière monobloc avec celui-ci), et le mouvement 1 comprend une pignonnerie 24 qui couple en rotation le mobile des heures à la chaussée 14 dans un rapport R d'engrenage de 1/12.The moving body 20 of the hours is in gear relation with the roadway 14. More precisely, and according to an embodiment illustrated on the FIG. 7 , the hours mobile comprises a pinion 23 of the hours, integral with the barrel 21 of the hours (or formed in one piece with it), and movement 1 comprises a pinion 24 which couples in rotation the hours mobile to the roadway 14 in a gear ratio R of 1/12.

Plus précisément, la pignonnerie 24 comprend :

  • Une roue 24.1 des heures, qui engrène un pignon 19.2 de minuterie solidaire en rotation de la roue 19.1 de minuterie ;
  • Un pignon 24.2 réducteur, solidaire en rotation de la roue 24.1 des heures ;
  • Une roue 24.3 inverseuse, interposée entre le pignon 24.2 réducteur et le pignon 23 des heures.
More specifically, the gear 24 includes:
  • A 24.1 hour wheel, which engages a timer pinion 19.2 integral in rotation with the timer wheel 19.1;
  • A reduction gear 24.2, integral in rotation with the hour wheel 24.1;
  • A reversing wheel 24.3, interposed between the reducing pinion 24.2 and the hour pinion 23.

On note :

  • NM la vitesse de rotation du pignon 18 des minutes (et donc de l'aiguille 16 des minutes) ;
  • NH la vitesse de rotation du pignon 23 des heures (et donc de l'aiguille 22 des heures) ;

Le rapport R d'engrenage s'écrit : R = N H N M = Z M × Z 2 × Z 4 Z 1 × Z 3 × Z H

Figure imgb0001
The gear ratio R is written: R = NOT H NOT M = Z M × Z 2 × Z 4 Z 1 × Z 3 × Z H
Figure imgb0001

Les engrenages sont choisis pour que le rapport R d'engrenage soit égal à 1/12. L'exemple suivant fournit un tel rapport R : Z M = Z M = 64 ; Z 1 = 60 ; Z 2 = 16 ; Z 3 = 48 ; Z 4 = 15

Figure imgb0002
The gears are chosen so that the gear ratio R is equal to 1/12. The following example provides such an R report: Z M = Z M = 64 ; Z 1 = 60 ; Z 2 = 16 ; Z 3 = 48 ; Z 4 = 15
Figure imgb0002

La chaussée 14, incluant le canon 15 des minutes et l'aiguille 16 des minutes, est située du côté de la face 4 supérieure de la platine 2. De même, le mobile 20 des heures, incluant le canon 21 des heures et l'aiguille 22 des heures, est situé du côté de la face 4 supérieure de la platine 2.Pavement 14, including the 15 minute cannon and the 16 minute hand, is located on the side of the upper face 4 of the plate 2. Likewise, the 20 hour mobile, including the 21 hour cannon and the hour hand 22, is located on the side of the upper face 4 of the plate 2.

Le mouvement 1 comprend, en sixième lieu, une masse oscillante sous forme d'un rotor 25 monté en rotation par rapport à la platine 2 autour de l'axe A central, du même côté de la platine 2 que la chaussée 14 et le mobile 20 des heures - en l'espèce du côté de la face 4 supérieure de la platine.The movement 1 comprises, in sixth place, an oscillating mass in the form of a rotor 25 mounted in rotation relative to the plate 2 around the central axis A, on the same side of the plate 2 as the carriageway 14 and the mobile 20 hours - in this case on the side of the upper face 4 of the plate.

Comme illustré notamment sur la FIG.5, le rotor 25 comprend :

  • ∘ Un moyeu 26 central, en relation d'engrenage avec le barillet 5 ;
  • ∘ Une jante 27 solidaire du moyeu 26 central ;
  • ∘ Un secteur 28 annulaire lourd qui est solidaire de la jante 27.
As illustrated in particular on the FIG.5 , the rotor 25 comprises:
  • ∘ A central hub 26, in gear relationship with the barrel 5;
  • ∘ A rim 27 secured to the central hub 26;
  • Lourd A heavy annular sector 28 which is integral with the rim 27.

Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, illustré sur les dessins, la jante 27 se présente sous forme d'un disque plein, mais il pourrait être ajouré. Dans l'exemple de réalisation, la jante est un disque plein réalisé dans un matériau transparent, par ex. en saphir industriel.According to a particular embodiment, illustrated in the drawings, the rim 27 is in the form of a solid disc, but it could be perforated. In the exemplary embodiment, the rim is a solid disc made of a transparent material, e.g. in industrial sapphire.

Le secteur 28 annulaire lourd se présente par ex. sous forme d'un demi-anneau réalisé dans un matériau dont la densité est supérieure à celle du matériau de la jante 27. Ainsi, selon un mode particulier de réalisation, le secteur annulaire lourd est réalisé en laiton.The heavy annular sector 28 occurs for example. in the form of a half-ring made of a material whose density is greater than that of the material of the rim 27. Thus, according to a particular embodiment, the heavy annular sector is made of brass.

La fixation du secteur 28 annulaire lourd à la jante 27 est par ex. réalisée par vissage, rivetage, sertissage ou encore collage.The attachment of the heavy annular sector 28 to the rim 27 is for example. made by screwing, riveting, crimping or bonding.

Le mouvement 1 comprend, en septième lieu, un arbre 29 rehausseur solidaire du moyeu 26 central et par lequel celui-ci est monté en rotation par rapport à la platine 2.The movement 1 comprises, in seventh place, a riser shaft 29 integral with the central hub 26 and by which the latter is mounted in rotation relative to the plate 2.

L'arbre 29 rehausseur se présente de préférence sous forme d'un cylindre creux, réalisé par ex. en acier.The riser shaft 29 is preferably in the form of a hollow cylinder, produced for example. in steel.

L'arbre rehausseur et le moyeu central pourraient former une pièce monobloc. Cependant, dans l'exemple illustré, l'arbre rehausseur et le moyeu central forment deux pièces distinctes fixées l'une à l'autre. Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, le moyeu central est chassé sur une extrémité supérieure de l'arbre rehausseur.The riser shaft and the central hub could form a single piece. However, in the example illustrated, the booster shaft and the central hub form two separate parts fixed to each other. According to a particular embodiment, the central hub is driven onto an upper end of the booster shaft.

Comme on le voit bien sur la FIG.5, le canon 15 des minutes et le canon 21 des heures sont montés de manière coaxiale autour de l'arbre 29 rehausseur, l'aiguille 16 des minutes et l'aiguille 22 des heures étant situées entre la platine 2 et la jante 27 du rotor.As we can see on the FIG.5 , the 15 minute cannon and the 21 hour cannon are mounted coaxially around the riser shaft 29, the 16 minute hand and the 22 hour hand being located between the plate 2 and the rim 27 of the rotor .

Ainsi, tout en permettant au porteur de profiter du spectacle procuré par la rotation du rotor 25, cette disposition permet de positionner les aiguilles 16, 22 au plus près d'un éventuel cadran ou d'une couronne portant une graduation horaire, au bénéfice de la lisibilité des heures.Thus, while allowing the wearer to take advantage of the spectacle provided by the rotation of the rotor 25, this arrangement makes it possible to position the hands 16, 22 as close as possible to a dial or a crown carrying an hourly graduation, for the benefit of legibility of the hours.

Selon un mode préféré de réalisation, le mouvement 1 comprend un roulement 30 pourvu :

  • D'une bague 31 fixe par rapport à la platine 2,
  • D'une bague 32 mobile en rotation par rapport à la bague 31 fixe autour de l'axe A central et dont est solidaire l'arbre 29 rehausseur, et
  • D'éléments 33 roulants interposés entre les bagues 31, 32 (typiquement des billes).
According to a preferred embodiment, the movement 1 comprises a bearing 30 provided:
  • A ring 31 fixed relative to the plate 2,
  • A ring 32 movable in rotation relative to the ring 31 fixed around the central axis A and of which the shaft 29 booster is integral, and
  • Rolling elements 33 interposed between the rings 31, 32 (typically balls).

Le roulement 30 est avantageusement monté sur un pont 34 intermédiaire fixé sur la platine 2.The bearing 30 is advantageously mounted on an intermediate bridge 34 fixed to the plate 2.

Dans l'exemple illustré, la bague 31 fixe est une bague intérieure du roulement 30, et la bague 32 mobile une bague extérieure.In the example illustrated, the fixed ring 31 is an inner ring of the bearing 30, and the movable ring 32 is an outer ring.

Comme cela est bien visible sur les FIG.5, FIG.6 et FIG.7, la bague 31 intérieure est assujettie au pont 34 intermédiaire par une vis 35 centrale. Dans l'exemple illustré, une pièce 36 intermédiaire est interposée entre la vis 35 centrale et la bague 31 intérieure du roulement 30. Cette pièce intermédiaire est fixe par rapport à la platine 2 et procure une double fonction :

  • Renforcer l'arbre rehausseur en cas de chocs latéraux pouvant s'exercer sur le mouvement horloger,
  • Absorber les éventuelles déformations dues au serrage de la vis 35 centrale sur la bague 31 intérieure, et ainsi garantir une bonne coaxialité de celle-ci avec l'axe A de rotation central.
As is clearly visible on FIG.5, FIG.6 and FIG. 7 , the inner ring 31 is secured to the intermediate bridge 34 by a central screw 35. In the example illustrated, an intermediate piece 36 is interposed between the central screw 35 and the inner ring 31 of the bearing 30. This intermediate piece is fixed relative to the plate 2 and provides a double function:
  • Reinforce the booster shaft in the event of lateral shocks which may be exerted on the watch movement,
  • Absorb any deformation due to tightening of the central screw 35 on the inner ring 31, and thus guarantee good coaxiality of the latter with the central axis of rotation A.

Dans l'exemple illustré, l'arbre 29 rehausseur est chassé sur la bague 32 mobile située à l'extérieur du roulement.In the example illustrated, the riser shaft 29 is driven out on the movable ring 32 located outside the bearing.

La bague 32 mobile porte de préférence une couronne 37 dentée en relation d'engrenage avec le barillet 5, par l'intermédiaire d'un rouage 38 réducteur (visible sur la FIG.5). Plus précisément, le rouage réducteur est en relation d'engrenage avec la roue 9 dentée secondaire (rouage) du barillet 5.The movable ring 32 preferably carries a toothed crown 37 in gear relation with the barrel 5, by means of a reduction gear train 38 (visible on the FIG.5 ). More precisely, the reduction gear train is in gear relationship with the secondary toothed wheel 9 (gear train) of the barrel 5.

Comme on le voit bien sur les FIG.5 et FIG.6, les canons 15, 21 entourent librement l'arbre 29 rehausseur. A cet effet, les diamètres internes respectifs des canons 15, 21 sont supérieurs au diamètre externe de l'arbre rehausseur, au moins pour la partie de cet arbre rehausseur située à l'intérieur des deux canons.As we can see on FIG.5 and FIG.6 , the barrels 15, 21 freely surround the riser shaft 29. To this end, the respective internal diameters of the barrels 15, 21 are greater than the external diameter of the booster shaft, at least for the part of this booster shaft located inside the two barrels.

Le mouvement 1 comprend avantageusement une douille 39 entourant l'arbre rehausseur, cette douille étant fixe par rapport à la platine 2. Le canon 20 des heures et le canon 15 des minutes sont montés sur la douille. Dans l'exemple illustré, la douille est solidaire (par ex. par chassage) d'un pont 40 supérieur fixé sur la platine 2. Plus précisément, dans l'exemple illustré, le pont supérieur est fixé sur le pont 34 intermédiaire.The movement 1 advantageously comprises a socket 39 surrounding the booster shaft, this socket being fixed relative to the plate 2. The barrel 20 for the hours and the barrel 15 for the minutes are mounted on the socket. In the example illustrated, the sleeve is secured (for example by driving) to an upper bridge 40 fixed to the plate 2. More specifically, in the example illustrated, the upper bridge is fixed to the intermediate bridge 34.

La bague 31 intérieure du roulement 30 est fixée au pont intermédiaire par la vis 35 centrale, cette vis centrale solidarisant en outre à ce pont la pièce 36 intermédiaire, laquelle présente un fond avec un trou central pour le passage de la vis centrale et un tube rigide dans lequel est situé la tête de cette vis centrale, ce tube rigide étant situé à l'intérieur d'une ouverture centrale que présente l'arbre rehausseur, cet arbre rehausseur formant un tube tournant.The inner ring 31 of the bearing 30 is fixed to the intermediate bridge by the central screw 35, this central screw further securing to this bridge the intermediate piece 36, which has a bottom with a central hole for the passage of the central screw and a tube rigid in which the head of this central screw is located, this rigid tube being situated inside a central opening presented by the booster shaft, this booster shaft forming a rotating tube.

Le pont 40 supérieur est bien visible sur les FIG.2 et FIG.3. La fixation du pont supérieur sur le pont 34 intermédiaire est par ex. effectuée au moyen de vis 41, ici au nombre de trois. Comme on le voit bien sur la FIG.3, le pont supérieur est percé de trous 42 et porte des axes 43 pour le guidage en rotation de pièces mobiles du mouvement 2, et notamment de composants du rouage 17 de minuterie.The upper 40 deck is clearly visible on the FIG.2 and FIG.3 . The attachment of the upper deck to the intermediate deck 34 is for example. performed by means of screws 41, here three in number. As we can see on the FIG.3 , the upper bridge is pierced with holes 42 and carries axes 43 for guiding in rotation moving parts of movement 2, and in particular components of the gear train 17 of the timer.

Selon un mode préféré de réalisation :

  • Le canon 21 des heures est emboîté sur la douille 39,
  • Le canon 15 des minutes est emboîté sur le canon 21 des heures.
According to a preferred embodiment:
  • The gun 21 of the hours is fitted on the socket 39,
  • The canon 15 of the minutes is nested on the canon 21 of the hours.

Un premier lanternage est avantageusement prévu à l'interface entre la douille 39 et le canon 21 des heures pour permettre la rotation de celui-ci (avec l'aiguille 22 des heures) par rapport à la douille.A first lanterning is advantageously provided at the interface between the socket 39 and the hour gun 21 to allow the rotation of the latter (with the hour hand 22) relative to the socket.

Un deuxième lanternage est avantageusement prévu à l'interface entre le canon 21 des heures et le canon 15 des minutes pour permettre la rotation de celui-ci (avec l'aiguille 16 des minutes) par rapport au canon des heures.A second lantern is advantageously provided at the interface between the hour gun 21 and the minute gun 15 to allow the rotation of the latter (with the minute hand 16) relative to the hour canon.

Comme on le voit notamment sur la FIG.7, le barillet 5 est monté du côté d'une face 44 interne (tournée vers la platine 2) du pont 40 supérieur (et plus précisément entre le pont 34 intermédiaire et la platine 2), tandis que la chaussée 14, le mobile 20 des heures et le rotor 25 sont montés du côté d'une face 45 externe (opposée à la platine 2) du pont supérieur.As we see in particular on the FIG. 7 , the barrel 5 is mounted on the side of an internal face 44 (facing the plate 2) of the upper bridge 40 (and more precisely between the intermediate bridge 34 and the plate 2), while the roadway 14, the mobile 20 des hours and the rotor 25 are mounted on the side of an external face 45 (opposite the plate 2) of the upper bridge.

Afin d'assurer la transmission de la rotation du barillet 5 (situé du côté de la face 44 interne du pont 40 supérieur) au rouage 17 de minuterie, le mouvement 1 est avantageusement équipé d'un mobile 46 inverseur, qui comprend :

  • Une roue 47 supérieure située du côté de la face 45 externe du pont 40 supérieur et en prise d'engrenage avec le rouage 17 de minuterie (et plus précisément avec le pignon 19.2 de minuterie) ;
  • Une roue 48 inférieure située du côté de la face 44 interne du pont 40 supérieur, solidaire en rotation de la roue 47 supérieure et en relation d'engrenage avec la roue 6 dentée primaire du barillet 5 ;
  • Un axe 49 reliant, au travers du pont 40 supérieur, la roue 47 supérieure et la roue 48 inférieure.
In order to ensure the transmission of the rotation of the barrel 5 (located on the side of the internal face 44 of the upper bridge 40) to the timer train 17, the movement 1 is advantageously equipped with a reversing mobile 46, which comprises:
  • An upper wheel 47 situated on the side of the external face 45 of the upper bridge 40 and in gear engagement with the timing train 17 (and more precisely with the timer pinion 19.2);
  • A lower wheel 48 situated on the side of the internal face 44 of the upper bridge 40, integral in rotation with the upper wheel 47 and in gear relation with the primary toothed wheel 6 of the barrel 5;
  • An axis 49 connecting, through the upper bridge 40, the upper wheel 47 and the lower wheel 48.

Selon un mode de réalisation illustré sur la FIG.7, l'axe 49 traverse non seulement le pont 40 supérieur mais également le pont 34 intermédiaire.According to an embodiment illustrated on the FIG. 7 , the axis 49 crosses not only the upper bridge 40 but also the intermediate bridge 34.

Comme illustré sur la FIG.7, le mouvement 1 peut en outre être équipé d'une aiguille 50 de petite seconde, décentrée par rapport à l'axe A central. L'aiguille de petite seconde est chassée sur un axe 51 solidaire d'une roue 52 des secondes, en relation d'engrenage avec la chaussée 14 dans un rapport 1/60.As illustrated in the FIG. 7 , the movement 1 can also be equipped with a small second hand 50, offset from the central axis A. The small second hand is driven on an axis 51 secured to a second wheel 52, in gear relationship with the roadway 14 in a 1/60 ratio.

En outre, comme on le voit notamment sur les FIG.1 et FIG.2, le mouvement 1 comprend un palier 53, pourvu d'un anneau 54 de guidage qui vient entourer la chaussée 14, et d'un pied 55 par lequel le palier 53 est fixé sur le pont 40 supérieur.In addition, as can be seen in particular on the FIG. 1 and FIG.2 , the movement 1 comprises a bearing 53, provided with a guide ring 54 which surrounds the roadway 14, and a foot 55 by which the bearing 53 is fixed to the upper bridge 40.

Le mouvement qui vient d'être décrit procure en particulier les avantages mentionnés ci-après.The movement which has just been described provides in particular the advantages mentioned below.

Premièrement, le fait que le rotor 25 soit situé du même côté que l'affichage de l'heure (c'est-à-dire que les aiguilles 15, 22) permet au porteur de profiter du spectacle qu'offre le mouvement du rotor, ce que ne permet pas une disposition de celui-ci à l'opposé de l'affichage.First, the fact that the rotor 25 is located on the same side as the time display (that is to say that the hands 15, 22) allows the wearer to enjoy the spectacle offered by the movement of the rotor. , which does not allow a provision of it opposite to the display.

Ensuite, et à l'inverse de la majorité des mouvements de ce type, le fait que le rotor 25 surmonte les aiguilles 15, 22 (ce qui est rendu possible notamment par la présence de l'arbre rehausseur) permet de positionner celles-ci au plus près du corps du mouvement et d'une graduation des heures pouvant être située sur la face arrière de ce corps, au bénéfice de la lisibilité de l'affichage.Then, and unlike the majority of movements of this type, the fact that the rotor 25 overcomes the needles 15, 22 (which is made possible in particular by the presence of the booster shaft) makes it possible to position them. as close as possible to the body of the movement and a graduation of the hours which can be located on the rear face of this body, for the benefit of the readability of the display.

Finalement, on notera que le mouvement horloger qui vient d'être décrit peut aisément présenter également un affichage de l'heure supplémentaire situé du côté de la face avant de la platine 2. Dans ce dernier cas, on aurait ainsi un double affichage de l'heure, le second affichage pouvant correspondre par exemple à un fuseau horaire différent de celui du premier affichage.Finally, it will be noted that the timepiece movement which has just been described can easily also present an additional time display situated on the side of the front face of the plate 2.
