Mais cette période de douze heures n'est pas limitative, et l'invention peut être mise en oeuvre avec une autre période, notamment de vingt-quatre heures, auquel cas il est facile d'adapter l'invention pour que les moyens d'entraînement 9 entraînent chaque écran 8 deux fois par période de douze heures. Naturellement, d'autres périodes principales pour la montre, et d'autres périodes secondaires pour l'affichage secondaire 5, peuvent être choisies par une adaptation adéquate des premiers moyens d'entraînement 9, par exemple pour afficher des changements de quarts sur un navire, ou des changements de postes sur une installation travaillant en continu, ou similaire, où l'invention permet de visualiser aisément quelle équipe est en veille ou active au poste de travail ; des durées secondaires de 1, 2, 3, 4, et 6 heures peuvent ainsi être très facilement affichées aussi bien avec une période principale de douze heures, que de vingt-quatre heures.In this regard, the timepiece object of the present description is a
De préférence, dans les modes de réalisation illustrés ici, les premiers moyens d'entraînement 9 sont positionnés de façon à entraîner un mouvement d'un seul premier écran 8 à la fois, dans un mouvement de pivotement d'un angle de valeur constante, qui est de 180° dans le cas de l'exemple particulier illustré par les figures, par rapport à un axe de pivotement de position fixe par rapport à la structure porteuse 7, le mouvement de pivotement de l'écran 8 étant commandé une seule fois par période principale, ici de douze heures. La période secondaire est ici de douze heures également.Preferably, in the embodiments illustrated herein, the first driving means 9 are positioned to cause movement of a single
Dans ce mode de réalisation choisi pour un affichage jour/nuit, les premiers moyens d'entraînement 9 sont positionnés de façon à commander le mouvement de pivotement à 6 heures et à 18 heures dans les heures locales de deux fuseaux horaires couverts par un même plan méridien auquel est lié un repère géographique 6 donné. Ainsi le repère géographique 6 comportant deux villes appartenant au même plan méridien mais de fuseaux horaires opposés, par exemple sur les figures Noumea en premier repère 61 et Azores en deuxième repère 62, est recouvert par un écran 8 qui pivote quand il est 6 heures à Azores, entrant dans le jour, et 18 heures à Nouméa, entrant dans la nuit. Douze heures plus tard, ce même cadran 8 pivote à nouveau, quand il est 18 heures à Azores, entrant dans la nuit, et 6 heures à Noumea, entrant dans le jour.In this embodiment chosen for a day / night display, the first drive means 9 are positioned so as to control the pivoting movement at 6 o'clock and at 18 o'clock in the local hours of two time zones covered by the same plane. meridian to which is bound a given
Pour commander le mouvement de l'écran 8, qui est de préférence un mouvement de pivotement, les premiers moyens d'entraînement 9 comportent avantageusement au moins un premier secteur denté 21 encadré par des premières parties lisses 26 sur un premier chant 27 d'une platine 20 de la montre 1, ou d'un composant fixe fixé en position sur cette platine. Et chaque premier écran 8 est mobile en pivotement par rapport à la structure porteuse 7, et solidaire d'un premier pignon tronqué 13 circulant en glissant ou roulant sur ce premier chant 27. Le premier pignon tronqué 13 comporte au moins une première denture 15 interrompue par au moins un premier dégagement 14, et le premier pignon tronqué 13, selon la position de la structure porteuse 7, ou bien glisse sans pivoter en appui par un premier dégagement 14 sur une première partie lisse 26, ou bien pivote sous l'effet de l'engrènement d'une première denture 15 avec un premier secteur denté 21. La
Notamment, dans l'application décrite, le nombre de dents du premier secteur denté 21 et le nombre de dents de la première denture 15 sont agencés de façon à faire pivoter le premier pignon tronqué 13 d'un angle de 180° lors de son passage en roulant sur le premier secteur denté 21.In particular, in the application described, the number of teeth of the first sector toothed 21 and the number of teeth of the
Avantageusement, la structure porteuse 7 comporte, au niveau de chaque premier écran 8, des bras élastiques 17 qui pincent un premier arbre 16 d'entraînement du premier écran 8, et qui constituent les premiers moyens de friction 11.Advantageously, the
Avantageusement, tel que visible sur la
Dans une réalisation avantageuse, les moyens de réglage 4 du moyen principal d'affichage horaire 2 pour le réglage de l'heure correspondant à un lieu déterminé comportent un mécanisme de changement de fuseau horaire par ajout ou retranchement d'un nombre entier d'heures. Un tel mécanisme n'est pas décrit ici en détail, et est connu de l'homme du métier.In an advantageous embodiment, the setting means 4 of the main time display means 2 for setting the time corresponding to a given place include a time zone changing mechanism by adding or removing an integer number of hours. . Such a mechanism is not described here in detail, and is known to those skilled in the art.

Dans cette réalisation particulière, chaque deuxième écran 80 comporte une première zone 181 et une deuxième zone 182, chaque zone 181, 182 venant alternativement en superposition du premier repère 61 et du deuxième repère 62.In this particular embodiment, each
Avantageusement, pour procurer une visualisation facile pour l'utilisateur, les première zone 81 et deuxième zone 82 du premier écran 8 et les première zone 181 et deuxième zone 182 du deuxième écran 80 sont transparentes ou translucides, et colorées ou/et polarisées de façon à ce que les quatre superpositions soient optiquement différentes pour l'utilisateur.Advantageously, to provide an easy visualization for the user, the

Dans cette même variante, les deuxièmes moyens d'entraînement 90 sont positionnés de façon à entraîner un mouvement d'un seul deuxième écran 80 à la fois, dans un mouvement de pivotement de 180° par rapport à un axe de pivotement de position fixe par rapport à la structure porteuse 7, le mouvement de pivotement étant commandé une seule fois par période de douze heures. Comme exposé ci-dessus, pour effectuer un affichage AM/PM, les deuxièmes moyens d'entraînement 90 sont positionnés de façon à commander le mouvement de pivotement à 12 heures et à minuit dans les heures locales de deux fuseaux horaires couverts par un même plan méridien auquel est lié un repère géographique 6 donné.In this same variant, the second drive means 90 are positioned so as to cause a movement of a single
Naturellement l'invention est applicable à d'autres pièces d'horlogerie qu'une montre, notamment à des pendules ou horloges.Naturally the invention is applicable to other timepieces that a watch, including clocks or clocks.
L'invention procure ainsi une visualisation facile de l'heure universelle, sans risque d'erreur. La lecture est instantanée pour les 24 zones de référence, pour lesquelles on sait s'il fait jour ou nuit.The invention thus provides easy viewing of the universal time without risk of error. The reading is instantaneous for the 24 reference zones, for which we know whether it is day or night.
L'encombrement du mécanisme est faible, et la manoeuvre en est très simple. Le mécanisme avec pignons tronqués assurer une bon verrouillage du disque d'affichage, et empêche toute pivotement accidentel lors d'un choc par exemple.The size of the mechanism is small, and the operation is very simple. The mechanism with truncated gears ensure a good locking of the display disk, and prevents accidental pivoting during an impact for example.
