Definitions
- the present invention relates to a timepiece, called universal, whose dial allows to quickly read the time of different time zones. It relates more particularly to such a timepiece comprising a first dial bearing geographical indications corresponding to different time zones and defining a 24-hour turn, and comprising a second dial carrying a 24-hour turn, the second dial being concentrically movable to the first dial and being arranged to be rotated at the rate of a turn in 24 hours by the movement of the timepiece, the hourly indications being arranged opposite the geographical indications of the first dial to indicate local hours .
- the Swiss patent CH 270'085 In particular, there is described a universal watch which comprises a fixed twelve hour central dial above which hands of hours of minutes and seconds are conventionally rotated. A first ring dial of twenty-four hours is rotatably mounted around the central dial. This annular dial is arranged to be driven by the movement, in the opposite direction of the hands of the watch, to the rhythm of a turn in twenty-four hours. It is still synchronized with the needles so that the The 12 o'clock and 24 o'clock positions in the "twelve o'clock" position of the watch take place at the instant when the hands are superimposed at twelve o'clock.
- a second annular dial bearing geographical indications corresponding to the time zones is rotatably mounted around the first annular dial. It is arranged to be moved manually by means of a ring whose rod ends with a conical pinion meshing with a peripheral toothing of the second annular dial.
- a problem with this type of universal watches is the transition from winter time to summer time and vice versa. Indeed, because of this change of time biannual, the time difference between two places is not always constant. On the contrary, when the time change does not take place at the same time in the two locations considered, the change of seasonal time is accompanied by variations in the time difference. This is usually the case, in particular, where both locations are, one in the northern hemisphere and the other in the southern hemisphere. Moreover, it is, of course, always the case when the country where one of the places is located does not practice summer time, while the country of the other place practices it.
- the pending patent application W02012 / 123550 describes a universal timepiece which comprises manual means arranged to allow a user to selectively shift certain geographical indications carried by the dial so as to change the local time associated with these geographical indications by one hour during the passage of time. winter time in summer time, or vice versa.
- a disadvantage of this prior solution is that the user must keep abreast of the time change dates associated with the geographical indications to be shifted.
- An object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the aforementioned prior art.
- the present invention achieves this goal by providing a universal timepiece in accordance with the appended claim 1.
- the timepiece of the invention comprises a counter of the days of the week, and that it is this counter which drives the actuating member in rotation.
- the transition from winter time to summer time does not in principle take place on a fixed date, but on the contrary on a fixed day. More specifically, a widespread use is that the transition from winter time to summer time, such as the changeover from summer time to winter time, is systematically carried out on weekends. end, late at night from Saturday to Sunday, or in other words, early Sunday morning. Under these conditions, it will be understood that it is advantageous for the actuating device according to the invention to be driven once a week at most by a counter of the days of the week.
- the figure 1 is a partial plan view from the dial side of a universal watch corresponding to a particular variant of the invention. Only the elements of the watch which directly concern the invention are represented in the figure 1 . Other items like the box shows, the part of the dial carrying the 12-hour clock designed to cooperate with the needles, or the winding crown and setting time, have been omitted for the sake of simplification.
- the figure 1 shows two dials shaped concentric discs which are respectively referenced 3 and 7.
- the first of these two dials (referenced 3 on the figure 1 ) carries a plurality of geographical indications 5 distributed around its circumference. These geographical indications are associated with the 24 time zones of the planet.
- the second dial 7 is concentric with the first dial. It carries a 24-hour tour scheduled to cooperate with the geographical indications of the first dial to indicate local times.
- the dial 7 is arranged to be rotated by the movement of the watch counterclockwise at the rate of one turn per 24 hours. Note that the second dial could just as well be driven clockwise. However, in this case, the order of succession at the same time of hours on the turn of hours of the second dial, and geographical indications on the first dial, should be reversed.
- the first dial 3 is formed of a dial support (board) 9 and movable dial sectors (11, 12, 13, 14 and 15) slidably mounted on the board.
- the mobile dial sectors carry some of the geographical indications 5, while other geographical indications 5 are affixed directly to the plate 9 of the dial.
- the board 9 is pierced with a number of oblong openings 17 which define arcs of concentric circles on the dial.
- the various mobile sectors 11 to 15 are arranged to slide each in one of the openings 17, so as to be angularly offset by a 1/24 th of a turn relative to the rest of the first dial.
- the geographical indications 5 which are carried by the same sector of mobile dial designate places where the passage between hours summer and winter time is on the same date in both directions. For example, we can see on the figure 1 that the dial sector referenced 12 bears, from left to right, the geographical indications "Azores”, “London”, “Geneva” and "Helsinki”. We can check that the change of time takes place at the same dates in these four places. Indeed, it has been decided that, until further notice, daylight saving time will be on the last Sunday in March, and the return to winter time will be on the last Sunday of October in this region of the globe.
- each of these three geographical indications corresponds to a place in the southern hemisphere where, as is well known, the seasons are reversed with respect to the northern hemisphere.
- daylight saving time is on the first Sunday in October, and the return to winter time is held. the first Sunday of April of the following year.
- the summer time changeover takes place on the last Sunday of September, and the return to winter time takes place on the first Sunday. April of the following year.
- Rio de Janeiro dial sector 15
- daylight saving time is on the third Sunday of October, and the return to winter time is on the third or fourth Sunday of February of the following year.
- the first dial still bears, from left to right, the indications Abidjan, Tripoli, Pretoria, Djibouti, Moscow, Karachi, Dhaka, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Brisbane, Noumea, Midway, Samoa, Hawaii, Gambier Islands, Henderson Islands, Culiacan, Galapagos, Lima, Caracas and wholesome Aires.
- These last geographical indications correspond to places where one does not practice daylight saving time. As there is therefore no change in seasonal time in these regions, the corresponding geographical indications do not need to be carried by mobile dial sectors, and can therefore be carried directly on board 9 of the first dial.
- the first dial 3 can be manually controlled in rotation by means of a manual control member operable from outside the middle part.
- this control member is in the form of a ring 53 whose rod carries a pinion 55 meshing with a peripheral edge toothing 57 of the first dial. It will be understood that this arrangement enables the wearer of the watch to rotate the first dial 3, and therefore all the geographical indications 5 it carries, by actuating the ring 53.
- the figure 3 is a view from the bottom side of the watch, the bottom and the movement having been removed so as to provide a view from below of the board 9 of the dial 3.
- the board 9 is pierced with a certain number of numbers. oblong openings 17 which define arcs of concentric circles on the dial. In the variants shown, these arcs are not all subtended by the same circle.
- a first circle underlies four, while the fifth is on a circle of larger diameter.
- the lower font of the board 9 also carries five small starred mobiles (respectively referenced 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23). Each of the starred mobiles is formed of a four-pointed star secured to a small toothed wheel.
- the five Star-shaped mobiles are rotatably mounted under board 9. It can further be verified that in the present example, the distances separating respectively the different starred mobiles from the axis of the watch are all different.
- the movable dial sectors 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 are arranged to slide in the openings 17.
- the mobile dial sectors have feet that are inserted into the openings oblong so that the end of the feet comes out under the board 9 of the first dial.
- the end of each foot also carries a toothed sector.
- the figure 4 is similar to the figure 3 and further shows how the toothed sectors (referenced respectively 11A, 12A, 13A, 14A and 15A) mesh each with one of the small starred mobiles. It will therefore be understood that any rotation of one of the small starred mobiles has the effect of sliding the corresponding dial sector in its oblong opening.
- the figure 4 still shows five jump springs 49 provided for selectively keeping the dial sectors either in the position corresponding to the winter time or in the position corresponding to daylight saving time.
- the timepiece according to the invention also comprises a rotating actuating member 25 which is arranged to switch the movable dial sectors 11 to 15 from their winter position to their summer position, or vice versa.
- the rotating actuating member is constituted by a programming disk 25.
- the programming disk is mounted to rotate under the support 9 of the first frame 3 (cf. figure 3 ) coaxially with the latter.
- the programming disk 25 is part of the winter / summer switching mechanism and, as will be seen in more detail later, it is arranged to be driven intermittently by the movement.
- the function of the programming disk is to determine the moment at which each of the different rotary dial sectors 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 is actuated.
- the programming disk In the view that the figure 2 from the bottom side of the watch, the programming disk almost completely masks the board 9 of the first dial, of which only the peripheral toothing 57 is visible. It will be further understood that the toothed sectors 11A, 12A, 13A, 14A and 15A and the small starred mobiles 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 are housed between the programming disk 25 is the first dial 3. They are therefore not visible on the figure 2 .
- the programming disc is provided with ten pins referenced 19H, 19E, 20H, 20E, 21E, 21H, 22E, 22H, 23E and 23H. Note that the pins are arranged on the face of the programming disc 25 facing the board 9, and therefore they are not visible strictly speaking on the figure 2 . However, in the present example, the pins are driven into holes in the programming disk. These are the holes that are visible in the figure 2 .
- the distances separating the ten pins from the axis of the watch are all different. In addition, these distances are increasing in the order of the pins 19H, 19E, 20H, 20E, 21E, 21H, 22E, 22H, 23E, 23H.
- each of the pins carried by the disc moves in a circular path whose radius is equal to the distance separating this pin from the axis of the needles of the watch.
- the distances separating the five stellar mobiles from the axis of the watch are also all different. Indeed, each star-shaped mobile is arranged so that its star intercepts the trajectory of two precise pins.
- the starred mobile 19 is arranged to intercept the circular trajectories of the pins 19H and 19E
- the starred mobile 20 is arranged to intercept the trajectories of the pins 20H and 20E, and so on.
- the picot 19H ( figure 2 ) is located slightly closer to the axis of the hands of the watch than is the axis of the starred mobile 19 ( figures 3 and 4 ).
- the pin 19E ( figure 2 ) is situated slightly farther from the axis of the hands of the watch than is the starred mobile 19.
- the pin 19E meets the star of the mobile 19, it rotates it by a quarter turn in the same meaning as the programming disc.
- the tooth of the toothed sector 11A is an internal toothing (in other words, turned towards the axis of the hands of the watch).
- the star-shaped mobile 19 drives the toothed sector 11A
- the latter rotates in the same direction as the star-shaped mobile.
- the pin 19E meets the star of the mobile 19, and the latter therefore rotates a quarter of a turn in the direction of the clockwise
- this rotation has the effect of sliding the sector. mobile dial 11, clockwise as well.
- pin 19E shifts the mobile dial sector 11 to summer time.
- the pin 19H it's the opposite. Indeed, as we have seen, the pin 19H rotates the stellar mobile 19 in the opposite direction.
- the pin 19H is arranged to make the mobile dial sector 11 return to winter time when it meets the starry mobile.
- the pins are arranged on the programming disk 25 in such a way that each encounter of one of the pins with a star-shaped mobile corresponds to a different angular position of the programming disk.
- the relationship between the position of the pins and that of the starred mobiles is such that, when the programming disc rotates clockwise, the pins interact with their star in the order 23H, 19E, 20E, 21H, 22H , 22E, 21E, 23E, 20H and, finally, 19H.
- the winter / summer switching mechanism which is the subject of the present description makes it possible to correctly control the changes back and forth between winter time and time.
- the figure 5 is a partial view, in plan from the bottom side, of a first embodiment of the invention schematically showing the winter / summer switching mechanism and more particularly the kinematic chain arranged to allow the movement of the workpiece. watchmaking to drive the actuator rotating intermittently.
- the timepiece may be the universal watch described above.
- the rotating actuator illustrated in FIG. figure 5 is a toothed disk 125 similar to the programming disk 25 which has been described in connection with the Figures 2 to 4 . It will be understood, however, that instead of being in the form of a toothed disc, the rotating actuating member of the invention could equally well have, for example, the shape of a ring with an internal toothing, or even have for example the shape of a rotary cylinder lined with pins.
- a wheel 127 positioned under the toothed disc 125 can be seen concentrically with the latter.
- the wheel 127 meshes with a wheel 129 which carries a finger 131.
- figure 5 still shows a seven star 133 positioned by a jumper 139.
- the star of seven is disposed facing both the wheel 129 and the toothing of the toothed disc 125.
- the star 133 itself carries a finger 135 arranged to cooperate with the teeth 137 of the disk 125.
- the toothed disk 125 is a programming disc lined with pins. It is similar to the programming disc 25, and it is rotatably mounted about the axis of the needles of the shows (not shown in the figure 5 ).
- a jumper spring mounted under the support 9 of the dial is arranged to secure the programming disc with the dial 3. This jumper spring can be the jumper 51 shown in FIG. figure 4 .
- the wheel 127 is the wheel of the hours of the movement. It typically performs a tour in twelve hours.
- the wheel 129, or driving wheel of the star of seven has twice as many teeth as the hour wheel 127, so that the wheel 129 makes one turn in twenty-four hours.
- the wheel 129 can act on the star of seven 133 via the finger 131. Once a day, or once a night, the finger 131 actuates the star of seven, forcing the jumper 139 to be lifted, so that the star moves forward with a tooth. The star of seven thus completes a complete rotation a week. It thus forms a counter of the days of the week. Thanks to the finger 135 that it carries, the star 133 can act itself on the programming disk 125.
- the finger 135 actuates the disk 125, forcing the spring-jumper 51 ( figure 4 ) to raise, so that the programming disk advances of a led tooth 137.
- the jumper 51 must not be too strong, so that the disc 125 can rotate without causing the first dial 3 with him.
- the programming disk 125 is arranged to advance in jerks, and that each time during the advance, a stud encounters one of the small starred mobiles, one of the mobile dial sectors 11 to 15 shifts from 1 / 24th of a turn, from winter time to summer time or vice versa.
- the ten pins (of which eight respectively referenced 120H, 120E, 121E, 121H, 122E, 122H, 123E and 123H are visible in the figure 5 ) are arranged on the programming disk 125 in such a way that each encounter of one of the pins with a star-shaped mobile corresponds to a different angular position of the disk of programming.
- the programming disc successively occupies during the year as many distinct angular positions as there are weeks in a year, most of the displacements of the disc 125 do not affect the first mobile geographical indications.
- the Figures 6A, 6B, 7 and 8 are views of a universal watch according to a second embodiment of the invention. According to this second embodiment, the programming disk is operated only during the weeks when one of the first geographical indications has to be switched.
- the star 233 can act itself on a star of ten 241 which is integral and concentric with the programming disk 225.
- the star of seven 233 is movable vertically between an engaged position, in which the finger 235 can actuate the star of ten 241, and a disengaged position in which the finger 235 does not cut the trajectory of the teeth of the star 241.
- a clutch mechanism is provided to switch the seven star 233 between the engaged position and the disengaged position.
- This mechanism comprises a cam 243 in the form of a ring and which has a plurality of notches 245.
- the cam 243 is driven by the movement so as to perform one revolution per year, and the positions occupied by the notches 245 correspond to the weeks of rotation. the year in which at least one of the first mobile geographical indications has to change position.
- the clutch mechanism also comprises a cam follower 247 which is resiliently biased against the cam 243.
- the cam follower 247 has an inclined arranged opposite the star of seven 233 (visible in particular in FIG. Figure 6B ).
- the cam follower 247 falls into one of the notches 245, it slides towards the star of seven, and its inclined abuts against the upper part of the star, forcing it to lower until that the finger 235 is in the same plane as the star of ten 241. The star of seven is then in the engaged position. It will be understood that according to this second embodiment, the cam follower 247 falls into a notch each time one of the first moving geographical indications has to be moved. The rest of the time, when no geographical indication is to be switched, the seven star is disengaged and the programming disc is not operated during the transition from Saturday to Sunday. Thus, the programming disk does not perform one revolution in fifty-two or fifty-three steps, but completes a complete rotation in as many steps as there are commutations to be performed on the mobile dial sectors (ten steps in this example).

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une pièce d'horlogerie, dite universelle, dont le cadran permet de lire rapidement l'heure de différents fuseaux horaires. Elle concerne plus particulièrement une telle pièce d'horlogerie comprenant un premier cadran portant des indications géographiques correspondant aux différents fuseaux horaires et définissant un tour de 24 heures, et comprenant un deuxième cadran portant un tour d'heures de 24 heures, le deuxième cadran étant mobile concentriquement au premier cadran et étant agencé pour être entraîné en rotation au rythme d'un tour en 24 heures par le mouvement de la pièce d'horlogerie, les indications horaires étant disposées en regard des indications géographiques du premier cadran pour indiquer des heures locales.The present invention relates to a timepiece, called universal, whose dial allows to quickly read the time of different time zones. It relates more particularly to such a timepiece comprising a first dial bearing geographical indications corresponding to different time zones and defining a 24-hour turn, and comprising a second dial carrying a 24-hour turn, the second dial being concentrically movable to the first dial and being arranged to be rotated at the rate of a turn in 24 hours by the movement of the timepiece, the hourly indications being arranged opposite the geographical indications of the first dial to indicate local hours .
On connaît des pièces d'horlogerie universelles correspondant à la définition ci-dessus. Le brevet suisse
Pour connaître l'heure dans un lieu donné, l'utilisateur de cette montre de l'art antérieur doit se servir de la couronne pour faire tourner le second cadran annulaire et amener le nom du lieu où il se trouve en position « douze heures » de la montre. Les deux cadrans permettent alors de lire l'heure correspondant à chacun des fuseaux horaires du globe. Ainsi, comme illustré dans ce document antérieur, lorsqu'il est huit heures du soir à New York, il est une heure du matin à Paris, dix heures à Tokyo et dix-huit heures à Mexico.To know the time in a given place, the user of this watch of the prior art must use the crown to rotate the second annular dial and bring the name of the place where it is in position "twelve hours" of the watch. The two dials then make it possible to read the time corresponding to each of the time zones of the globe. Thus, as illustrated in this earlier document, when it is eight o'clock in the evening in New York, it is one o'clock in the morning in Paris, ten in Tokyo, and eighteen in Mexico.
Un problème constaté avec ce type de montres universelles concerne le passage de l'heure d'hiver à l'heure d'été et vice versa. En effet, en raison de ce changement d'heure bisannuel, le décalage horaire entre deux endroits n'est pas toujours constant. Au contraire, lorsque le changement d'heure n'a pas lieu en même temps dans les deux endroits considérés, le changement d'heure saisonnier s'accompagne de variations du décalage horaire. C'est habituellement le cas, en particulier, lorsque les deux endroits se trouvent, l'un, dans l'hémisphère nord et, l'autre, dans l'hémisphère sud. De plus, c'est, bien sûr, toujours le cas lorsque le pays où se trouve l'un des endroits ne pratique pas l'heure d'été, alors que le pays de l'autre endroit la pratique.A problem with this type of universal watches is the transition from winter time to summer time and vice versa. Indeed, because of this change of time biannual, the time difference between two places is not always constant. On the contrary, when the time change does not take place at the same time in the two locations considered, the change of seasonal time is accompanied by variations in the time difference. This is usually the case, in particular, where both locations are, one in the northern hemisphere and the other in the southern hemisphere. Moreover, it is, of course, always the case when the country where one of the places is located does not practice summer time, while the country of the other place practices it.
A cause du problème susmentionné, les indications fournies par la plupart des montres universelles connues ne sont exactes que dans certaines situations standards, et sont fausses dans un certain nombre de situations atypiques.Because of the aforementioned problem, the indications provided by most known universal watches are accurate only in certain standard situations, and are false in a number of atypical situations.
La demande de brevet pendante
Un but de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients de l'art antérieur susmentionné. La présente invention atteint ce but en fournissant une pièce d'horlogerie universelle conforme à la revendication 1 annexée.An object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the aforementioned prior art. The present invention achieves this goal by providing a universal timepiece in accordance with the appended claim 1.
On comprendra que la pièce d'horlogerie de l'invention comporte un compteur des jours de la semaine, et que c'est ce compteur qui entraîne l'organe d'actionnement en rotation. En effet, le passage de l'heure d'hiver à l'heure d'été n'a en principe pas lieu à date fixe, mais au contraire à jour fixe. Plus précisément, un usage très rependu veut que le passage de l'heure d'hiver à l'heure d'été, comme le passage de l'heure d'été à l'heure d'hiver, ait systématiquement lieu le week-end, tard dans la nuit du samedi au dimanche, ou autrement dit, tôt le dimanche matin. Dans ces conditions, on comprendra qu'il est avantageux que l'organe d'actionnement selon l'invention soit entraîné une fois par semaine au maximum par un compteur des jours de la semaine.It will be understood that the timepiece of the invention comprises a counter of the days of the week, and that it is this counter which drives the actuating member in rotation. In fact, the transition from winter time to summer time does not in principle take place on a fixed date, but on the contrary on a fixed day. More specifically, a widespread use is that the transition from winter time to summer time, such as the changeover from summer time to winter time, is systematically carried out on weekends. end, late at night from Saturday to Sunday, or in other words, early Sunday morning. Under these conditions, it will be understood that it is advantageous for the actuating device according to the invention to be driven once a week at most by a counter of the days of the week.

Le premier cadran 3 est formé d'un support de cadran (planche) 9 et de secteurs de cadran mobiles (11, 12 ,13 ,14 et 15) montés coulissants sur la planche. On peut voir sur la
Les indications géographiques 5 qui sont portées par un même secteur de cadran mobile désignent des lieux où le passage entre heure d'été et heure d'hiver a lieu à la même date dans un sens comme dans l'autre. Par exemple, on peut voir sur la
Selon la variante illustrée par la
On peut voir que, dans la variante représentée par la
Comme le montre les
La
Comme on l'a dit plus haut, les secteurs de cadran mobiles 11, 12, 13, 14 et 15 sont agencés pour coulisser dans les ouvertures 17. A cet effet, les secteurs de cadran mobiles comportent des pieds qui sont insérés dans les ouvertures oblongues de manière à ce que l'extrémité des pieds ressorte sous la planche 9 du premier cadran. L'extrémité de chaque pied porte en outre un secteur denté. La
La pièce d'horlogerie selon l'invention comporte encore un organe d'actionnement tournant 25 qui est agencé pour faire commuter les secteurs de cadran mobiles 11 à 15 de leur position d'hiver à leur position d'été, ou inversement. Dans l'exemple illustré par la

La roue 127 est la roue des heures du mouvement. Elle effectue classiquement un tour en douze heures. La roue 129, ou roue entraîneuse de l'étoile de sept, possède le double de dents que la roue des heures 127, de sorte que la roue 129 effectue un tour en vingt-quatre heures. La roue 129 peut agir sur l'étoile de sept 133 par l'intermédiaire du doigt 131. Une fois par jour, ou une fois par nuit, le doigt 131 actionne l'étoile de sept, forçant le sautoir 139 à se soulever, de sorte que l'étoile avance d'une dent. L'étoile de sept accomplit donc une rotation complète par semaine. Elle forme donc un compteur des jours de la semaine. Grâce au doigt 135 qu'elle porte, l'étoile 133 peut agir elle-même sur le disque de programmation 125. Ainsi, lorsque le compteur des jours de la semaine 133 passe du samedi au dimanche, le doigt 135 actionne le disque 125, forçant le ressort-sautoir 51 (
Comme on l'a déjà expliqué, les dix picots (dont huit respectivement référencés 120H, 120E, 121 E, 121 H, 122E, 122H, 123E et 123H sont visibles dans la

Un mécanisme d'embrayage est prévu pour commuter l'étoile de sept 233 entre la position embrayée et la position débrayée. Ce mécanisme comporte une came 243 en forme d'anneau et qui présente une pluralité d'encoches 245. La came 243 est entraînée par le mouvement de façon à accomplir un tour par année, et les positions occupées par les encoches 245 correspondent aux semaines de l'année durant lesquelles une au moins des premières indications géographiques mobiles doit changer de position. Le mécanisme d'embrayage comprend également un suiveur de came 247 qui est rappelé élastiquement contre la came 243. Le suiveur de came 247 présente un incliné arrangé en regard de l'étoile de sept 233 (visible notamment dans la
On comprendra que diverses modifications et/ou améliorations évidentes pour un homme du métier peuvent être apportées aux modes de réalisation qui font l'objet de la présente description sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention définie par les revendications annexées. En particulier, même si les modes de réalisation décrits comportent exactement cinq secteurs de cadran mobiles, l'homme du métier comprendra que le nombre de premières indications géographiques mobiles est absolument arbitraire. En effet, il existe un vaste choix d'indications géographiques parmi lesquelles sélectionner celles qui représentent les différents fuseaux horaires sur le cadran. En particulier, il existe dans tous les fuseaux horaires sans exceptions des lieux dans lesquels l'heure d'été n'existe pas.It will be understood that various modifications and / or improvements obvious to those skilled in the art can be made to the embodiments which are the subject of the present description without departing from the scope of the present invention defined by the appended claims. In particular, even if the described embodiments comprise exactly five mobile dial sectors, one skilled in the art will understand that the number first mobile geographical indications is absolutely arbitrary. Indeed, there is a wide choice of geographical indications from which to select those which represent the different time zones on the dial. In particular, there are in all time zones without exceptions places in which summer time does not exist.
