Definitions

  • this chronograph movement also comprises clutch means for connecting or not the seconds mobile to the work train in response to an action on the control lever, and selective blocking means for blocking the seconds counter in response to an action on the control lever.
  • resetting means of the seconds counter are also provided, these resetting means comprising at least one mobile resetting element intended to be displaced by a second control member, at least between a first position , rest, and a second position, active, the movable reset element being configured to act on the seconds counter in the second active position.
  • the mobile resetting element is generally made in the form of a hammer cooperating with a heart-shaped cam integral with the seconds counter.
  • the chronograph movement comprises a control lever moved under the impulse of an external control member and acting on a rotary control element to start or stop the measurement of time.
  • the reset hammer is moved in contact with the corresponding core under the effect of an action exerted on an external push reset.
  • the reset hammer then remains in abutment against the heart, in its rest position, as long as a new start of the chronograph is not controlled, in order to maintain the indicator needle of the measured time in its initial position.
  • the return of the hammer in its raised or armed position, to release the indicator needle is caused by an action on the control lever whose main purpose is to start the measurement of a time.
  • the rotary control element typically has a projecting region brought into contact with a portion of the hammer and causing the rotation of the latter to bring it back to its armed position. .
  • This rotational movement is then performed by overcoming the pressure of a spring disposed in abutment against a portion of the hammer to hold it firmly against the heart when the measurement of a time interval is not in progress.
  • the first start of the time measurement caused by an action on the control lever, requires additional effort to overcome the force of the spring used to retain the lowered hammer, in addition to activating the mechanisms of time measurement. as such.
