Definitions

  • the invention relates to a timepiece equipped with a device for indicating time zones for timepieces.
  • Watches capable of indicating the time in one or more different time zones have been around for a long time and generally include complicated mechanisms. Conventionally, these watches include an additional hand for indicating the time in another time zone chosen by the wearer, which is not practical to adjust and / or correct or set the time in case of stop watch.
  • the document CH 685 584 attempts to remedy this problem by proposing a watch comprising an hour indicator designed to perform one turn in twelve hours and indicate the time under one of the time zones, and a minutes indicator designed to perform one turn in one hour, and comprising a movement directly driving the minute indicator, and a rotating member indicating at least two time zones and manually rotating.
  • the movement is rotatably mounted in a box comprising, in engagement between the movement and the time zone indicator member, a first gear train and a second gear train making it possible to move the hour and minute hand when the movement is rotated.
  • a drawback of such a type of watch is that the mechanism is relatively complicated, in particular for a mechanical watch. In addition, such an arrangement significantly increases the thickness of the watch, which is detrimental to the aesthetics of the latter. Finally, such a mechanism seems fragile and the slightest shock could disrupt or even damage it.
  • an objective of the invention is to provide a watch with a time zone display device allowing intuitive and simplified change between the different time zones.
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide a watch with a time zone display device which is simple and inexpensive to implement.
  • a timepiece with a time zone display device will now be described in the following with reference jointly to figures 1 to 6 .
  • the watch comprises a usual movement, fitted into a first case 1, the case comprising a dial 3 surrounded and surmounted by a flange 2, a crystal surmounting the flange 2, and a flange 4 surrounding the crystal to form a shoulder 40 on the upper rim of the first case 1.
  • the nested movement can it could be a mechanical movement as well as a quartz movement or even an electromechanical movement, the movement being arranged to drive an hours indicator 6 and a minutes indicator 7.
  • the hours indicator 6 performs one revolution of the dial in twelve hours
  • the hour indicator 6 performs one revolution of the dial in twenty-four hours.
  • the watch also comprises a second case 10 having a lower part 12 screwed onto an upper part 11, the upper part comprising lugs 110 in order to be able to attach a bracelet.
  • the first box 1 is rotatably mounted in the second box 10.
  • the horns can also be supported by the lower part 12 of the second box 10.
  • the first housing 1 comprises respectively on its upper part and on its lower part, a collar 4, 4 'and a shoulder 40,40', each assembly forming a peripheral annular rim arranged to cooperate with a circular opening formed in each of the parts upper 11 and lower 12 of the second case 10.
  • the first case 1 is therefore held in the second case 10 so as to allow only a rotation of the first case 1 about an axis A coincident with the axis of rotation of the hour indicators 6 and 7 minutes.
  • the first box 1 comprises sections 8 on its edge, each section 8 receiving a time zone.
  • it is flange 2 which receives the different time zones, which can be twelve or twenty-four for example.
  • the time zones are displayed on the back of the first case 1, the back being visible through the lower part of the second case 10.
  • each time zone includes a + or - sign so that the wearer can determine if it is day or night in the chosen time zone.
  • the indicator indicating the time zone must be integral with and rotate with the first box 1, the time displayed being that of the zone located at noon on the first box 1.
  • a marker on the fixed part, namely the second box 10, to improve reading.
  • Such a marker could for example be an inverted triangle, an arrow or even a conventional index.
  • locking means are provided between the first box 1 and the second box 10. More precisely, the locking means comprise at least one ball pawl 41, arranged at the level of the shoulder 40, 40 'of the first housing 1, this ball pawl 41 being arranged to cooperate with hemispherical holes 121 formed along the periphery of the lower and upper parts of the second housing 10. According to the embodiment shown, there are twelve holes 121 distributed regularly and spaced 30 ° so that a rotation of one notch corresponds to an offset of +/- 1 hour. In the case where the watch has a twenty-four hour display, there are obviously twenty-four holes 121.
  • Such a leaf spring device comprises a leaf spring 42 disposed in grooves formed at the level of the shoulders 40 and 40 'of the first housing 1, each groove having a stop 44 for keep the leaf spring 42 in place.
  • the leaf spring 42 comprises at least one tooth 43 arranged to cooperate with grooves 122 formed in the upper and lower parts of the second housing 10.
  • the hours indicator 6 is formed by a transparent disc supporting a triangle 60 indicating the current time on the dial which bears no number for the hours.
  • Another disc forming the minutes indicator 7 is mounted on the hours disc 6, the minutes disc having an opening 70 allowing the current minutes to appear on the dial, the minutes being this time displayed on dial 3 digitally.
  • the dial 3 comprises two portions, one without digital indication for the hours, and the other with digital indications for the minutes.
  • the first box 1 rotates relative to the second box 10, by manipulating it by hand until the time zone is positioned at noon. on the first case 1.
  • the twelve holes allow the first case to be rotated hour by hour, whatever the direction of rotation, in correspondence with the time zones which generally differ by one hour between them, and the watch can then be used to read the time in the different time zones displayed by the indicator.
