Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a timepiece comprising a time equation mechanism with display. More particularly, the invention is directed to a walking time equation mechanism operating a true time minute hand that indicates the gap between true solar time and civil time.
  • certain timepieces include a mechanism said to equation of walking time, that is to say whose switch has two minute hands, one indicating the civil time and the other the true time, the minute hand of the true time being actuated by a weather equation cam whose profile is determined by the difference between the mean solar time and the true time at a given instant .
  • the cam is rotated at the rate of one revolution per year by a simple or perpetual calendar mechanism.
  • the simple date is a mechanism that can indicate the day of the week, the day of the month, the month of the year or the phases of the moon, but which does not take into account the variation of the number of days in the months (months of 28, 29 or 30 days).
  • the user of a watch comprising a simple date mechanism will have to make a manual correction every month ends that are less than 31 days. For example, February 28 or April 30 will require manual correction.
  • the perpetual calendar it allows, as a simple date mechanism, to indicate the day, the date, the month and the moon phases. But, unlike the simple calendar mechanism, the perpetual calendar mechanism automatically takes into account the length of the months (28, 29 or 30 days), and this without manual intervention. A perpetual calendar mechanism therefore automatically takes into account leap years.
  • the Greenwich meridian passing through London, is located in the middle of a time zone and carries longitude 000. Longitudes are counted from the Greenwich meridian from 0 to 180 ° eastward (E). example, the longitude of B Jardin (Switzerland) is 007E15 (7 degrees and 15 minutes east longitude) and that of Athens is 023E44 (23 degrees and 44 minutes east longitude)), and from 0 to 180 ° in the direction of from the west (W) (for example, the longitude of Portugal is 009W08 and that of Rio de Janeiro is 043W14) (see Figure 2B ). Relative to its center, a time zone thus extends between -7.5 ° and + 7.5 ° longitude.
  • the sun does not go to the zenith at the same time, depending on where you are.
  • the sun will be at the zenith earlier in Paris than in London, although these two cities belong to the same time zone.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback as well as to others by providing a date timepiece comprising a walking time equation device which makes it possible to display the minute of the true time as a function of time. the longitude of where you are.
  • the present invention relates to a timepiece according to the first claim.
  • the present invention will be described in connection with a timepiece of the wristwatch type comprising a walking time equation mechanism actuated by an equation cam, itself driven in rotation at the rate of one revolution per year to from a date mechanism that can be indifferently simple or perpetual.
  • a timepiece of the wristwatch type comprising a walking time equation mechanism actuated by an equation cam, itself driven in rotation at the rate of one revolution per year to from a date mechanism that can be indifferently simple or perpetual.
  • the hour and minute hands of the real time can be reset by the user himself at the end of the months of the year with less than 31 days since the determination of the difference between the two hands of the minutes of the civil time and the true time is defined by the equation cam of the time driven by the date mechanism.
  • the time equation cam is automatically placed in its exact position for the given day.
  • the timepiece according to the invention comprises in particular a dial whose plan view is shown in FIG. figure 3 .
  • the dial provides the wearer with different information. He first indicates, in a first small dial 2, the month of the year. We see on the figure 3 that the indication of the month of the year is done by a needle 4. Of course, the needle 4 could be replaced by a disc which would bear the inscription of the months of the year and which would turn under the dial 1 leaving appear the name of the month by an opening in said dial 1 and called wicket.
  • a second hand 6 moving over another small dial 8 indicates the date (1 to 31) or date.
  • the timepiece comprises, in addition to a conventional switch whose role is to indicate the civil time and which includes a 10 hour hand and a minute hand 12, a second switch, concentric with the switch of the civil time and which comprises a second hour hand 14 and a second minute hand 16 which indicate the true time.

  • the exact position of the hands 14, 16 of the true time for a given day is determined every day (once every 24 hours) around midnight, then the needles 10, 12 of the civil time and needles 14, 16 of true time move together, the gap between the hours of needles 10 and 14 and minutes 12, 16 remaining constant for the given day.
  • the watch according to the present invention also provides an indication of the difference between the civil time of the place where one is and the civil time in the center of the time zone to which one belongs by means of a needle 20 moving in relation to a time scale 22.
  • This time scale 22 is graduated hourly and extends between -4 and +4 hours, which corresponds to the maximum time difference that can be note between the civil time of a given place on the earth and the civil time in the center of the reference time zone to which this place belongs. The user thus instantly knows the value of the offset applied to the calendar time displayed by the watch relative to the civil time in the center of the spindle.
  • Our globe is divided into 24 time zones of 60 minutes each, each time zone corresponding to 15 ° of longitude (see Figure 4A ).
  • the meridian of Greenwich, passing through London, is located in the middle of a time zone and carries the longitude 000.
  • the longitudes are counted from the meridian of Greenwich from 0 to 180 ° in easterly direction (E) (for example, the longitude of Bienne (Switzerland) is 007E15 (7 degrees and 15 minutes east longitude) and that of Athens is 023E44 (23 degrees and 44 minutes east longitude) ), and from 0 to 180 ° in a westerly direction (W) (for example, the longitude of Portugal is 009W08 and that of Rio de Janeiro is 043W14) (see Figure 4B ).
  • E easterly direction
  • W westerly direction
  • the watch includes a dial 24 graduated between -7.5 ° and + 7.5 ° above which moves a needle 26 adapted to rotate in both directions.
  • the user can apply an offset of +/- 7.5 ° of longitude, a time shift of +/- 30 min at the time. true.
  • the user before applying this offset, the user must specify whether he is standing in longitude West (W) or East (E). For this, it has an additional dial 28 above which moves a needle 30 which points either west (W) or east (E).
  • the transition from the west longitudes system (W) to the longitudes system is (E) can only be done when the longitude management mechanism is at zero, in other words when the pointer 26 points to the zero of the dial 24.
  • a displacement in the direction of longitudes is (E) corresponds to a reverse displacement in the direction of longitudes west (W).
  • E a displacement in the direction of longitudes
  • W a reverse displacement in the direction of longitudes west
