Definitions
- the invention relates to a sympathetic watch assembly, which comprises a clock and at least one watch arranged to be deposited in a receptacle that comprises the clock, in a single transfer position, said sympathetic assembly comprising a mechanism for connecting said pendulum and each watch when said watch is deposited in said receptacle in said transfer position.
- the invention relates to the very specific field of sympathetic clocks and watches, where these timepieces paired in pairs each comprise a time base for counting time, and display means for displaying horological magnitudes; in particular these display means are arranged to allow the user to simultaneously view the display on the clock and the display on the watch.
- the watches do not have an hour correction besides the minute as mentioned in George Daniels' analysis, which forces the user to make a prior adjustment with a first rough time setting, of the order of more or less fifteen minutes, the clock setting the fine time as it passes.
- Certain sympathetic clocks permanently arm the barrel of the watch, of the automatic barrel type, and set the hour to the minute once or twice a day, at a fixed time. In this type of clock, winding of the barrel must be quick to ensure winding of the disarmed watch within a reasonable time.
- the invention proposes to improve the functionalities of sympathetic clocks and watches, by overcoming the drawbacks of the known technique.
- the clock is a true independent timepiece, comprising its own time base, and its own display of time and quantities linked to the complications it comprises.
- the invention relates to a sympathetic assembly according to claim 1.

- At least one of these shafts, or each of these shafts, is similar to that of the Breguet No. 128 clock (G. Daniels: Art de Breguet: page 277).
- At least one such shaft, and more particularly each shaft, is divided into two half-shafts between the clock 100 and the watch 200 concerned, these two half-shafts being arranged to cooperate in drive with each other when the watch 200 is placed on the pendulum 100 in the receptacle 150 in the transfer position, either in direct drive, and more particularly in coaxial drive, or through a reference or a gear train.
- the transmission between these half-shafts is not described in detail here, it is possible to use any suitable drive mechanism, toothing, spline, dog clutch, friction, or other.
- the half-shafts can cooperate end to end, or internally to each other, or tangentially to each other, or through a transmission or a gear train, or other.

- the first selection shaft 1 is comparable to a selector, a machine controller, or to a column wheel of a chronograph or a complication watch.
- the second drive shaft 2 ensures the transmission of force, in particular of torque, for the recharging of energy, in particular the winding of a barrel, of a watch 200 from the clock 100, and/or to ensure the transmission to a shows 200 an adjustment or setting value, in the form of an angle of rotation on the basis of a value given by the clock 100, and/or to impart an impulse to a member of the watch.
- the adjustment or setting value may correspond to one of the quantities displayed by the watch; it can also be an adjustment value of the resonator of the watch, by action on a racket, a hairspring peak, a support on a flexible blade, an inertia adjustment, or other.
- the first shaft 1 and the second shaft 2 are distinct from each other, they can, in a variant, extend along parallel or even coincident axes.
- their axes are coplanar.

- one of the first shaft 1 and the second shaft 2 is mobile in rotation and in translation, and the other is mobile in rotation.
- first shaft 1 and the second shaft 2 are mobile in rotation and in translation.
- the adjustment is sequential, and starts with a neutral position in which the recharging of energy takes place, this neutral position is followed, preferably after a certain pre-defined period, or else on user action, by at least one elementary sequence for adjusting one of the quantities displayed by the watch, or else by triggering a particular function.
- the adjustments of the watch are made sequentially, each quantity being adjusted independently of the others.
- this sequential time-setting is carried out by a dedicated mechanism, in parallel with the traditional time-setting mechanism of the watch.
- the sequential time setting is controlled by the clock.
- the duration between two elementary sequences is adjustable. More particularly still, each duration between two elementary sequences is adjustable.
- the timing defining the tempo of the elementary sequences, managed by the clock defines the trigger instant (or the cue) for the start of the watch previously kept stopped by a stop mechanism 20 comprising in particular but not limited to a stop-seconds mechanism 25 with a stop lever or the like.

- the positioning of the watch is facilitated by the indexing of each half-shaft in neutral position independently, which half-trees are naturally indexed.
- the clock 100 is arranged to deliver a torque on the first shaft 1 in the presence of the watch 200.
- the rotation of this first shaft 1 is regulated by a regulating mechanism, for example of the minute repeater regulator type.
- Each watch 200 is arranged to release or block the rotation of the second shaft 2 depending on the level of energy that it has stored, in particular depending on the winding of the barrel in a particular case, according to a defined hysteresis, for example by a power reserve mechanism.
- This rotation of the second shaft 2 is, in this particular case, transmitted to the winding of the barrel and ensures its winding. In this neutral position, the watch 200 therefore ensures its winding at all times within a defined range.
- the clock 100 comprises at least one control means 300, which is arranged to be operated by the user, or to be controlled by the time base of the clock, to rotate the first lower half-shaft 11, to select the function of the first tree 1.

Each sequence starts at a precise tempo, which is defined by the time base of the clock 100.
- control means 300 on the watch 200, instead of installing it on the clock 100, or else to equip both the clock 100 and the watch 200, each, with a control means 300. If the control means 300 is only on the watch, this makes it possible to lock the function, as long as the watch 200 is not in the transfer position in the receptacle 150.
- the pendulum 100 turns the first shaft 1 in the date position, and turns the second shaft 2 by an angle corresponding to the instantaneous value of the date.
- the watch 200 recognizes the rotation of the first shaft 1 in the date position, actuates the stop lever, which stops the resonator and the watch, positions the date, hour, minute and second displays in the zero position, and applies the value transmitted by the second shaft 2 to the date display.
- display means any mobile display element known in watchmaking: hand, ring, disc, cursor, flag, city or time zone display, moon phase display, leap year display, AM/PM display , day/night display, power reserve indicator, ring tone selector, alarm clock indicator, calendar display, or other.

- the watch 200 recognizes the rotation of the first shaft 1 in the minute position, and applies the value transmitted by the second shaft 2 to the minute display of the watch 5.
- the pendulum 100 brings the first shaft 1 back to the neutral/winding position.
- the watch 200 recognizes the rotation of the first shaft 1 in the neutral/winding position, and releases the stop lever, the watch 200 is then fully adjusted and set to the time, and starts exactly to the second.

- the command carried out by the clock 100 can be periodic, or linked to an ancillary mechanism regulated by the user, said of the alarm clock type, analogous to an alarm mechanism; this command performed by the clock 100 is executed only if a watch 200 is present in the receptacle 150, in the transfer position.
- Setting the time is of interest to the user, except for demonstration purposes, only if the watch 200 is not completely disarmed. Also, setting the time is generally consecutive to resetting, or more generally, recharging the watch 200 with energy. The present description is simplified by the use of the terms “setting” or “resetting” to any charging or respectively recharging in energy.
- the watch 200 conventionally comprises displays 3, 4, 5, and in particular and without limitation a display of the hours of the watch 4, and a display of the minutes of the watch 5.
- the figures illustrate non-limiting variants where these displays are needles.
- the command performed by the clock 100, or the action of the user on the control means 300 has the first effect of positioning one of the transmission lines in a position corresponding to the time setting.
- One of the transmission lines is then able to print to a time-setting mechanism, which is internal to the watch 200, the movement or movements necessary to achieve the current time display accurately.
- one of the transmission lines between the clock and the watch comprises a first actuator of the clock 501, which is arranged to cooperate with a first actuator of the watch 901 of start or stop control of the watch, and another of these transmission lines comprises a second actuator of the clock 502 which is arranged to cooperate with a second actuator of the watch 902, in particular a pusher or the like, which provides the positioning movement incrementally.

- the watch 200 is equipped with a stop mechanism 20, arranged to stop the operation of the resonator 10, in particular by pressing an arm, or a leaf spring, or another actuator, on the mass inertial 15 or on a suitable element of the resonator. More particularly, this stop mechanism 20 is a stop-seconds mechanism 25 comprising a stop lever.
- the clock 100 includes a stop control mechanism 120, which is arranged to transform the step-by-step time-setting command performed by the user or by the clock 100, into a sequence, the first step of which is a control action of the stop mechanism 20 of the watch 200.
- the stop control mechanism 120 of the clock 100 is arranged to control a movement of one of the transmission lines to identify the time-setting action, and to control the transfer of a pulse or a torque to the stop mechanism 20 of the watch 200.
- the watch 200 recognizes the movement of the transmission line between the clock 100 and the watch 200 in the time-set position, a first actuator of the watch 901 (in particular a pusher or the like) actuates the stop lever of the stop-seconds mechanism 25, which stops the resonator 10 and the watch 200.
- This first actuator of the watch 901 is advantageously also a mechanism for controlling at least one hammer or the like, and causes the positioning of the time displays 4 and of minute 5 of the watch 200 in the reference position, by bringing into cooperation, for each adjusted horological quantity, a hammer with a heart carried by a roadway.
- step-by-step time setting comprises a sequence of steps, described here with numerical values of the step which are in no way limiting:
- the control means 300 When the time-setting order is given by the user at the level of the control means 300, or given by the clock 100 itself, the control means 300, or a clock movement 900 that comprises the pendulum 100, activates the stop control mechanism 120, which immediately controls the stop mechanism 20 of the watch 200, through the first pusher 901.
- the resonator 10 is then stopped, in the particular case illustrated here the inertial mass 15 is stopped.
- Watch 200 includes at least one display 3, 4, 5; more particularly and non-limitingly, the present description relates to the adjustment of an hour display of the watch 4, and of a minute display of the watch 5
- the watch 200 comprises a reset mechanism 500, which is arranged to bring back at least one display 3, 4, 5, of the watch, in particular the display of the hours of the watch 4 and the display of the minutes of the watch 5, at a reference position, in particular for example the position at the reference position, in particular 12:00 p.m., that is to say twelve hours and zero minutes, or else, as visible on the figures 27 to 33 , the 10:10 position, i.e. ten hours and ten minutes, or any other value.
- the reference position is this reference position of 12:00, twelve hours and zero minutes.
- this reset mechanism 500 is arranged to return each display 3, 4, 5 of the watch to its reference position.
- this reset mechanism 500 comprises, for each display 3, 4, 5, a heart 401, 702, 703, which is integral in rotation with this display 3, 4, 5, and the reset mechanism 500 comprises at least one hammer 402, 701, which is arranged to cooperate in support with this heart 401, 702, 703, when the reset mechanism 500 is activated; preferably this hammer 402, 701 is returned by a hammer spring 403 which tends to move it away from the heart 401, 702, 703, in normal operation.
- the hammer 402, 701 is unique, and common to all the hearts 401, 702, 703, which the watch 200 includes for the different horological magnitudes to be adjusted.
- the stop mechanism 20 thus controls, simultaneously with the stoppage of the watch 200, the resetting of its display by activating its reset mechanism 500 to return each display 3, 4, 5 to its reference position.
- each display 3, 4, 5 of the watch 200 instantly assumes the reference display position, for example the twelve o'clock and zero minute position.
- This other transmission line includes a second watch actuator 902, which operates here in a to-and-fro movement; this execution is one of the non-limiting possibilities for controlling the time of the watch.
- the clock 100 drives the minute display of the watch 5, in steps of a given value, for example of two minutes, and therefore drives indirectly, at the through the watch minute display 5, the watch hour display 4, until the display on the watch corresponds to a restart display position which corresponds to the instantaneous exact time which is the value of the instantaneous display visible on the clock 100, increased by at least one additional step, therefore here by two minutes.
- This mechanism operates analogously to a date corrector: watch 200 has a corrector linked to a minute wheel, and clock 100 actuates a second actuator of watch 902 which presses this corrector the number of times necessary to reach the instantaneous time, increased by the value of the step, here by two minutes.
- This linear motion resembles the maneuver of a bicycle pump. Referencing on the clock is done in a manner similar to that carried out by a minute repeater mechanism on demand, with sensing of the hour and minute snails that the clock conventionally includes.
- the two-minute steps are a non-limiting example, and, in this example, the number of steps to be taken, for two-minute steps, is then variable between 0 and 359 steps (60/2*12).
- the floor or the minute wheel of the watch is positioned precisely by means of a star, in particular but not limited to 30 teeth; we will see later the advantageous case of a spider of 15 teeth.
- the roadway or the minute wheel of the watch 200 is precisely positioned by the combination of a star fixed to the roadway or the minute wheel, and a jumper with one or more teeth, the number of teeth of this star and the number of teeth of this jumper together defining the value of the predetermined pitch.
- the operation of the first actuator of the watch 901 can be used to ensure the rearming of the hammer 402, 701.
- the clock 100 waits for the next passage at the following two minutes, for, at this precise instant which corresponds to the restart display position which was previously set, to release the stop lever by means of the first pusher 901, and thus allow the watch to operate at the exact time. Thanks to the stop seconds, this time setting is very precise.
- this same transition to the following two minutes has the effect of modifying the state of the stop control mechanism 120, and of controlling a movement of the on/off control transmission line, to identify the action of end of the time setting, and to control the transfer of an impulse or a torque to the stop mechanism 20 of the watch 200.
- the watch 200 recognizes the movement of one of the transmission lines in the end of time-setting position. , the first upper half-shaft 12 reacts the stop lever of the stop mechanism 20, which releases the resonator 10 and the watch 200, the operation of which resumes instantaneously.
- the pendulum 100 stops the inertial mass 15, in particular the balance wheel, of the watch 200, in particular via a stop-seconds lever mechanism 25.
- the clock 100 drives in steps, here in steps of two minutes, the minute display of the watch 5 of the watch 200, and through it the hour display of the watch 4 of the watch 200, until these displays reach and together indicate the instantaneous exact time plus two minutes.
- the clock 100 waits for the next passage at the following two minutes to release the stop lever, and thus allow the watch 200 to operate on time.
- the time setting of the watch is thus carried out very precisely.
- a second variant called winding by periodic impulse and with the time-setting function, relates to the periodic winding of the watch 200, when the watch is in the receptacle 150 of the clock 100, with a winding value which corresponds to the duration of a period, plus a safety duration.
- the general objectives are the same as for the first step-by-step time-setting variant.
- a winding identical to that which is carried out at each period is also triggered during a time setting of the watch, either at the request of the user, or at the request of the time base of the clock 100, to ensure the operation of the watch 200 after setting the time. This winding is then carried out prior to the time-setting operation.
- This principle requires the presence, at the level of the watch 200, of a safety mechanism, such as a barrel of the sliding flange type, to prevent the breaking of the barrel spring in overload.
- a mechanism for measuring the power reserve can make it possible to prevent unnecessary or harmful winding of the barrel.
- the periodic winding is carried out with a period of twelve hours, therefore twice a day, for a winding value greater than the period of periodic winding, for example a winding value of thirteen hours, so as to have thirteen hours of autonomy.
- the execution of a winding of the periodic type can be done at the request of the user at the level of the control means 300, and/or automatically, that is to say controlled by the clock 100, in particular by a mechanism linked to the rotation of the displays 104, 105, of the clock 100.
- the command carried out by the clock 100 can be periodic, or linked to an additional mechanism set by the user, an alarm mechanism, or a mechanism of the type awakening ; this command performed by the clock 100 is executed only if a watch 200 is present in the receptacle 150, in the transfer position.
- the execution of a winding of the periodic type can be triggered by an action of the user during a request for setting the time, or by a command from the clock 100 itself for the same object.
- the clock 100 drives the winding train of the watch 200 by an equivalent number of revolutions to thirteen hours of autonomy, in this example.
- This autonomy allows the watch 200 to operate if the user immediately wears his watch, provided that the latter is equipped with an automatic winding mechanism ensuring the additional winding, even if this watch 200 was disarmed beforehand, before the time update request.
- watch 200 If watch 200 is automatic, it will continue winding with the wearer.
- the watch 200 remains in its receptacle 150 on the clock 100, it continues to operate until the next periodic winding, in our advantageous example, after twelve hours.
- the winding may go down so that the chronometry is impaired, but if the winding period is coupled with a time-setting period, this loss is not harmful for the user.
- the watch will therefore operate continuously between 48 and 60 hours of winding and the barrel flange is then stressed to a slippage of two hours per day, which is much lower than for normal wear of an automatic watch, and does not generate inconsiderate wear of the mechanism.
- This periodic winding is very simple, and preserves the energy storage mechanism of the watch, while ensuring availability for the benefit of the user.
- the link mechanism is produced comprising at least two separate transmission lines between the clock 100 and the watch 200.
- this sympathetic assembly 1000 is produced with a watch 200 comprising at least one resonator 10, and a display gear train and a finishing gear train, and, or else a stop mechanism 20 arranged to stop the operation of the resonator 10 , or else a clutch mechanism making it possible to separate the display from the going train, or else both such a stop mechanism 20 and such a clutch mechanism, and the watch 200 comprising at least one display of 4 hours and a 5 minutes display.
- a third variant, called relative time setting, concerns the execution of the time setting on demand, and automatically periodically, for example twice a day, controlled by the clock 100.
- the general objectives are the same as for the first step-by-step time-setting variant.
- the clock 100 drives the displays 4, 5, of the watch 200, back, by a value guaranteeing the passage of the displays to a twelve o'clock and zero minute position, for example by a value of thirteen hours for setting the time of a 12-hour hour display.
- Each of these displays 4, 5 is locked on passage from the twelve o'clock and zero minute reference position by a pawl. More particularly, this reference position is adjustable, as well as the locking position of the pawl specific to at least one display 4, 5, more particularly to each display 4, 5.
- the clock 100 drives the displays of the watch 4, 5, up to the correct time, with an accuracy of the order of ⁇ 20 seconds.
- the execution of this time setting on demand, and automatically periodically, can be done at the user's request at the level of the control means 300, and/or automatically, i.e. i.e. driven by the clock 100, in particular by a mechanism linked to the rotation of the displays 104, 105, of the clock 100.
- the command carried out by the clock 100 can be periodic, or else linked to an additional mechanism set by the user , an alarm mechanism or an alarm-like mechanism; this command performed by the clock 100 is executed only if a watch 200 is present in the receptacle 150, in the transfer position.
- the clock 100 drives the minute display of the watch 5, and via the latter drives the hour display of the watch 4, counter-clockwise, abbreviated SIAM, the equivalent of thirteen hours so as to guarantee the passage of the hours by the reference position, in particular at twelve hours and zero minutes.
- SIAM the equivalent of thirteen hours so as to guarantee the passage of the hours by the reference position, in particular at twelve hours and zero minutes.
- a pawl On passing from the position at twelve o'clock and zero minutes, or, advantageously on passing from a neighboring position, called the preparation position, for example from the position at twelve o'clock and fifteen minutes, a pawl unlocks and locks the minute display at the reference position, in particular 12 o'clock.
- the hour clock on the thirteen o'clock run counter-clockwise, continues on a friction system.
- This principle is the reverse principle of the principle which makes it possible to adjust exactly, to the minute, the alarm clock ringing time, by combining two cams, one which is an hour cam and which has an opening corresponding to a lapse of time of about a quarter of an hour before the time scheduled for the execution of the chime, this opening being arranged to cooperate with a pin for the continuation of the drive by the movement of the minute cam alone which triggers the ringtone at the exact minute previously set, as readable in the document EP2073076B1 in the name of MONTRES BREGUET.
- the clock 100 drives the minute display of the watch 5 in the normal direction of clockwise, abbreviated SAM, and through it the hour display of the watch 4, until they reach the exact time.
- SAM normal direction of clockwise
- the time-setting precision is highly dependent on the clearances and out-of-roundness of the time-setting gear train, it is estimated at approximately +/- 15 to 20 seconds per minute.
- the reference position and/or the preparation position is adjustable, as well as the locking position of at least one pawl, in particular of each pawl.
- winding by setting the relative time
- the winding is done during the duration of thirteen hours of counter-clockwise rotation of the relative time setting of the shows, shown above. It is done in the same way, on demand and automatically twice a day.
- the thirteen hours of counter-clockwise rotation of the displays 4, 5, of the watch ensure the winding of the watch for a period of thirteen hours.
- This fourth variant enables time-setting and winding to be carried out with a single rotary interface.
- the time-setting function is triggered by an action by the user on the clock (on demand), or by a mechanism linked to the rotation of the clock displays (periodic).
- the clock 100 drives the minute display of the watch 5 and the hour display of the watch 4 counter-clockwise by the equivalent of thirteen hours for the relative time setting. This rotation can be used to arm the barrel, advantageously by thirteen o'clock.
- the first option is simple to implement. It includes a ratchet system so that the clockwise rotation of the relative time setting displays can take place, but the ratchet system is not located in the going train.
- the second option is interesting because it only requires a ratchet wheel in the finishing train.
- the time-setting friction must enable the transfer of torque from the winding; the typical pavement torque is about 1N.mm, and the typical pavement torque for the maximum winding of 3N.mm.
- a clutch system can replace conventional time-setting friction.
- This invention makes it possible to ensure winding for a period of thirteen hours when time-setting on demand, and for a period of thirteen hours during periodic time-settings.
- time setting like winding, takes place only on demand.
- the watch 200 is necessarily equipped with a stop mechanism 20, arranged to stop the operation of the resonator 10, in particular by pressing an arm, or a leaf spring, or another actuator, on the inertial mass 15 or on a suitable element of the resonator. More particularly, this stop mechanism 20 is a stop-seconds mechanism 25 comprising a stop lever.
- the stop lever is activated.
- the clock drives the displays back thirteen o'clock, they are blocked when passing the reference position, in particular 12 o'clock, by pawls.
- the clock then drives the displays up to the time, with an accuracy of around ⁇ 20 seconds.
- the clock continues to drive the displays until the watch is unlocked on the clock.
- This fifth variant avoids constant operation of the watch (excluding display), daily winding and time-setting, the functions being carried out only once, from the request until the watch is picked up.
- the time-setting function is triggered by a user action on the clock (on request) only.
- the clock stops the watch and disengages the display (road clutch).
- the clock drives the minute display and through it the hour display in an anti-clockwise direction by the equivalent of thirteen hours, so as to guarantee passage from the hours to the reference position, in particular 12 o'clock, and to guarantee a minimum winding of more than twelve hours of power reserve, in particular with a value of thirteen hours of power reserve, in a manner similar to the fourth variant.
- a pawl unlocks and locks the minute at the reference position, in particular 12 o'clock; the drive by the counter-clockwise thirteen o'clock clock continues on a friction system.
- the clock drives the minute display, and through it that of the hours until they reach the exact time.
- the time-setting precision is highly dependent on the backlashes and out-of-roundness of the time-setting gear train, it is estimated at ⁇ 20 seconds per minute.
- the clock drives the displays at real speed as long as the watch is not unlocked from the clock for wearing.
- the clock via the second interface, releases the stop lever and the clutch of the display, the watch is again independent.
- This invention has the advantage of saving the operating wear of the watch when it is on the clock.
- a sixth variant, called data acquisition for setting the time on demand, is intended to allow the time displayed by the clock to be read and the information to be transmitted to the watch within the framework of the operating modes of sympathetic pendulums described in the first, third, and fifth variants above.
- the figures 8 to 12 illustrate this taking of data on the clock for setting the time on demand.
- This sixth variant uses a mechanism which allows the reading of the difference between the current time and the reference time, chosen arbitrarily and not limited to 12:00 p.m. for all the variants shown, and which also makes it possible to transmit the information of the value of this difference to the watch, so as to index it after a reset to the reference position, in particular 12:00, of its displays.
- this transmission can give either the exact difference, or else the total of the difference and of an offset necessary for setting the time at the top second.
- This sixth variant is presented here analogously to the first so-called step-by-step time-setting variant, it will be seen that it is also valid for the third and fifth variants.
- the time-setting function is triggered by an action of the user on the clock (on request at the level of the control means 300) or by a mechanism linked to the rotation of the displays of the pendulum (periodic). Via the first interface, the pendulum stops the resonator 10, in particular the balance 15 of the watch (stop balance lever mechanism), and actuates a hammer mechanism bringing the hour display of the watch 4 to 12 o'clock, and through it the minute display of the watch 5 to 00 minutes.
- the clock drives the minute display of the watch 5 in two-minute steps, and via it the hour display of the watch 4, until these displays 4 and 5 reach and indicate the exact time increased by a non-limiting step of two minutes.
- This function can ensure the reset of the hammer.
- the minute wheel is precisely positioned thanks to a star, in particular a 30-tooth or 15-tooth star.
- the clock then waits for the next passage to the next two minutes to release the stop lever and allow the watch to run on time.
- a first embodiment of this sixth variant comprises a single cam 601 at the level of the clock 100, and sets the time step by step.
- the clock 100 comprises a snail cam 601 making one revolution in twelve hours, and comprising 360 bearings 6010 on its circumference, ie one bearing per two minutes. This cam is attached to the display of the clock (one revolution in twelve hours).
- the pendulum 100 comprises a feeler 602, in particular a rocker, which comprises at a first end a rake 603, and at a second opposite end a feeler finger 604 with beak 605.
- the latter is maintained by default in a rest position, which corresponds to the reference time, plus an offset corresponding to any gear train play and any additional jump to allow the time-setting function with stop seconds according to the first variant. Maintaining this feeler 602 is advantageously done with an adjustment eccentric (not shown) allowing the watchmaker to be able to easily compensate for these games.
- the adjustment can also advantageously be carried out with a fine adjustment rake according to the teachings of the application EP20158326.7 in the name of MONTRES BREGUET.
- the proposed time setting cycle comprises a phase of setting the reference of the watch to the position reference, 12:00 for example.
- the feeler 602 carrying the feeler finger 604 is subjected to the action of return means, and in particular an elastic return means such as a spring.
- the pendulum 100 releases the feeler 602, which is rotated by this return means, not shown in the figures.
- the feeler 602 rotates until it comes up against one of the 360 bearings 6010 of the cam 601. This rotation corresponds exactly to the number of two-minute steps separating the reference time from the time displayed on the clock.
- This rotation is transmitted in a non-limiting manner by an interface, in particular of the reciprocating type, to the watch and to its display or to its minute display.
- the interface can also be rotatable instead of reciprocating.
- the pendulum 100 resets and returns the feeler 602 to its rest position by a mechanism similar to the known mechanisms of the Grande Sonnerie, and finds itself ready for a new function.
- a second embodiment of this sixth variant comprises two cams 610 and 620 in the clock 100, and sets the time step by step.
- a 360-position cam indeed remains an element that is difficult to manufacture, and necessarily bulky, even in the context of a clock.
- the clock 100 comprises two cams: a first hour cam 610 making one revolution in twelve hours and comprising on its circumference 12 bearings 6100 of one hour each, and a second minute cam 620 making one revolution in one hour and comprising 30 bearings 6200 of two minutes each.
- These cams are integral with the display of the clock, respectively with the hour display 104 (one revolution in twelve hours) and the minute display 105 (one revolution in one hour).
- the clock 100 also includes two feelers: a first feeler 630 arranged to cooperate with the first hours cam 610, and a second feeler 640 arranged to cooperate with the second minutes cam 620. These two feelers are maintained by default in a position of rest which corresponds, for the first feeler 630 of the hours to the reference time plus an offset corresponding to any play in the gear train, and for the second feeler 640 of the minutes to a possible jump additional to allow the time-setting function with a second stop mechanism 25 according to the first variant.
- the clock 100 releases the feelers 630 and 640 until they come to bear on their respective cam 610,620.
- This rotation is transmitted to an interface and to the watch 200, in particular via a differential gear train 680, one of the reasons of which has a ratio of 1/12 with respect to the other, in order to combine the values of the two cams.
- An output of this differential mechanism 680 is arranged to drive a second actuator 502, in particular but not limited to via a second control cam 684.
- this second actuator 502 comprises a crank and a connecting rod arranged to push and pull a second control rod 512 that this second actuator 502 comprises, so as to impart to the second control rod 512 a to-and-fro movement. for setting the time of such a watch 200.
- the second control stem 512 is biased towards the second cam 684 by second elastic biasing means 513.
- the pendulum 100 comprises at least one electromechanical or electronic movement, which is arranged to control the movement of an output mobile which is arranged to drive such a second actuator 502, in particular but not limited to by means of a second control cam 684.
- This rotation is transmitted by this interface to the watch 200 and its 5 minutes display.
- the pendulum 100 resets and brings the two feelers 630 and 640 back to their rest positions, by a mechanism similar to the known mechanisms of the Grande Sonnerie, and finds itself ready for a new function.
- a seventh variant referred to as display reference time setting, and illustrated by the figures 13 to 18 , proposes a solution for the function of returning to the reference position, in particular 12:00, of the displays of the watch 200, a function which is necessary for the implementation of the first, third and fifth variants above.
- the interface actuates the clutch 706 towards its disengaged position, as visible on the figure 16 .
- the interface then releases the hammer 701, which takes the hours display via the first heart cam 702 and, via the timer, the minutes display to the reference position, in particular 12:00.
- the typical timer set allows an error of the order of 3 minutes on the position of the minute display relative to that of the hours: ⁇ 1.5 minutes, depending on the direction of zeroing transmitted by the hammer on the heart, as seen on the figures 13 and 14 .
- an additional cam-heart of minutes 703 works at the end of the function of the hammer 701, and guarantees the position to the nearest minute.
- the jumper 704 and the star of 30 maintain the position of the display at the reference position, in particular 12:00, and at all the following positions by correction steps of two minutes.
- the 15-tooth road advantageously replaces the 30-tooth star, working with a double jumper according to the representation visible in figure 17 .
- the mechanism can reset the hammer without losing the display, the time can be set in two-minute steps.
- the interface can release the clutch, and reconnect the finishing gear with the display gear.
- the figure 18 illustrates a BREGUET 1050 chronograph clutch mechanism, comprising a clamp 721 whose function is to ensure the engagement and the disengagement, under the control of a column wheel 740 which controls the angular difference of the gripper arms 721 and 722, for the opening or the closing of the gripper, and therefore the disengagement or the clutch .
- This seventh variant makes it possible to bring in a time-setting mechanism, and makes it possible to disengage the display gear train from the finishing gear train, and to re-engage them with each other.
- an eighth variant called reference time setting, illustrated by the figures 19 to 21 , proposes another solution for the function of returning to the reference position, in particular 12:00, of the displays of the watch 200, a function which is necessary for the implementation of the first, third and fifth variants above.
- the watch 200 also includes a rake pinion 824 or hour pinion, which rake pinion 824 is arranged to drive and arm the rake 823, which clicks with each tooth, during normal operation of the watch 200 when the watch 200 does not cooperate with the pendulum 100.
- the watch 200 further comprising a clutch mechanism 806 between a display train 805; 807; 808 and a finishing gear train 810.
- a watch 200 comprising a time display of the watch 4 carrying an hour cam 802 comprising an opening 8020, a second minute cam 803 carried by the minute display of the watch 805, and comprising a wolf's tooth opening 8030 or a notch 831.
- the clutch mechanism 806 is disengaged in its disengaged position, which allows the rake 823 to drive the hours display train in an anti-clockwise direction and display of the minutes of the watch 200, over as many revolutions as necessary, until the pawl 801 encounters the opening 8020 of the first hours cam 802, corresponding to the minutes preceding the reference time, at a moment at which the pawl 801 can rely on the second minute cam 803 for the rotation corresponding to the last minutes before the reference time is reached, and until blocking in the wolf's tooth opening 8030 of the second minute cam 803, the locking corresponding to the reference display position.
- the watch 200 further comprises a jumper 804 arranged to cooperate with a star, in particular a star of 30 teeth secured to the minutes display mobile 805, in a manner similar to the seventh variant, and comprises a mechanism controlling the three phases of the function
- the hour pinion 824 drives and arms the rack 823, which clicks with each tooth, as can be seen on the figure 19 and 20 .
- the interface actuates the clutch 806 towards its disengaged position, as visible on the figure 21 .
- the clutch releases the hour display cog and the minute display, which is driven counter-clockwise by the rake 823.
- the display train driven counter-clockwise by the rake 823, can potentially make more than one revolution of the hour wheel (hour display), and more than twelve revolutions of the roadway (display of the minutes) linked by the timer.
- the time-setting mechanism can perform its function clockwise towards the exact time by resetting the rack 801. If the resetting is not complete by the setting the time, it is completed by the normal rotation of the watch display clockwise.
- the interface can release the clutch, and reconnect the finishing gear with the display gear.
- a ninth variant relates to a step-by-step method and mechanism for setting the time of the hour and minute displays.
- the invention proposes a solution for the function of setting the time of the displays, of the watch in steps of two minutes following a reset to the reference position, in particular 12:00, as described in the seventh and eighth variants. It is controlled by the interface of a sympathetic pendulum, whose data acquisition mechanism for setting the time is as described in the sixth variant above.
- the present description relates to a non-limiting construction of a mechanism setting the time in two-minute steps. Steps of 1 minute, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 minutes are also possible.
- a roadway 905 of 15 teeth is advantageously used, which is moreover necessary to replace the spider of 30 teeth.
- the first stable position therefore corresponds to the display obtained following the reset to the reference position, ie 12:00 in the present example.
- the clutch is in the open position with respect to the going train 910 as seen in figure 24 .
- the display is therefore independent of the train of the watch. This cog is also stopped by the stop lever during the function.
- the clock transmits via its interface a defined number of movements necessary to reach the current time, in steps of two minutes. It also transmits one or two additional steps to allow the waiting time until the top second.
- the interface of the clock collaborates with the corrector 932 of the watch which drives the rocker 931.
- This rocker 931 is constructed in such a way as to drive the star of 30 by one step, or else, in the alternative embodiment, the pinion of 15 of a half step.
- Rocker 931 drives the 15-tooth pinion over 80% of the pitch, and returns to its rest position, the jumper then provides the remaining stroke, with the remaining 20% of the current pitch, and positions the pinion for the next half- not, as seen on the figure 25 .
- This execution responds to the desired time-setting functions, it allows the clock to move the displays in two-minute steps to the current time, and to add an offset.
- the seventh variant and the eighth variant implement a function controller, to ensure the execution of the functions in the different phases:
- the invention proposes, without limitation, different embodiments, with either a specific controller integrated into the watch, similar to those used in chronographs, or else a controller external to the watch, integrated into the clock.
- the watch When the controller is in the clock, the watch only has a reciprocating cam controlled by the interface and returning to rest by default (a stable rest position, and one to three controlled positions: 1-2- 3-2-1-2-3 etc).
- the execution with a column wheel is well suited for the seventh variant.
- This column wheel drives three flip-flops like chronographs, these flip-flops control the clutch, the stop lever, and the hammer or hammers, or are part of these mechanisms.
- These rockers are built to rest on the columns of the column wheel so as to be activated as needed.
- This execution can be applied to the eighth variant with a two-position column wheel.
- the second execution with a simple shuttle is sufficient for the eighth variant where two positions are sufficient, and can replace the column wheel.
- the controller is in the clock is well suited to the seventh variant: the three-position column wheel, described above, is functionally replaced by a three-level spiral, which is located in the clock.
- This snail drives a reciprocating cam in the watch via a friendly interface. This cam controls the clutch, the stop lever, and the hammer or hammers, as needed.
- the construction is adapted to prevent the hammer from falling when passing to position 1 when returning to position 0.
- This execution in which the controller is in the pendulum can be applied to the eighth variant, with a snail and a two-position cam.
- such a controller responds to the desired time-setting functions, allows the disengagement of the display of the going train, and their engagement, allows the hammer to be controlled if necessary, and allows the stop lever to be controlled.
- the first interface comprises a first external actuator in the clock, and a first internal actuator in the watch.
- the second interface comprises a second external actuator in the clock, and a second internal actuator in the watch.
- the third interface comprises a third external actuator in the clock, and a third internal actuator in the watch.
- the nth interface comprises an nth external actuator in the clock, and an nth internal actuator in the watch.
- the sympathetic assembly as well as the different methods, corresponding to as many different scenarios of use, described above, are based on clocks and watches that do not include a chime.
- the striking mechanisms have the advantage of providing precise references for the time settings, which one can imagine using for setting the time of sympathetic watches.
- the striking snails can be used for the time-setting mechanism, in an example of a time-setting carried out in five-minute steps, the corresponding snail must have 144 five-minute steps, and will not be used for The ring.
- the hour cochlea is in principle jumping with the surprise mechanism, so a priori even training is special.
- the watch can be chiming, but this makes the system a bit more complex as one has to isolate the chimes during sympathetic operation where the sympathetic clock 100 and the sympathetic watch 200 cooperate, as the chimes would ring continuously while on. hour and could cause the mechanism to jam.
