Embodiment Construction

[0031] The present invention relates to the field of timepieces and more particularly to the field of visual display mechanisms.

[0032] More specifically, the present description and drawings show a preferred, non-limiting example of a display realized by hands, for which the invention proposes to fit the hands under the dial.

[0033] The invention relates to a timepiece movement 1 driving at least one output arbor 2 or 7 intended to receive an indicator 3 displaying a physical or time quantity, facing at least one complementary indicator or Dial 4 and above it. Said complementary indicator or dial 4 is arranged at the position of a local reference surface or bearing surface 5 of a structure 50, such as a main board or a splint, etc., said local reference surface or bearing surface 5 surrounding the movement 1 Each output arbor 2 or 7 in the movement 1 is partially contained in the movement 1 ; alternatively, said complementary indicator or dial 4 is arranged on a local re...

Abstract

The invention relates to a timepiece movement (1) driving at least one output arbor (2, 7) for receiving an indicator (3), for displaying a physical quantity or a quantity of time, opposite and above at least one complementary indicator or a dial (4), said complementary indicator or dial (4) being arranged at a local reference or bearing surface (5) that said movement (1) locally comprises, around (each of) said output arbor(s) (2, 7) of said movement (1), or being arranged on said local reference or bearing surface (5). Said at least one output arbor (2) comprises, on the side of said local reference or bearing surface (5) thereof, a free end (6) that is either set back from or just flush with said local reference or bearing surface (5) thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a timepiece movement driving at least one output arbor for receiving an indicator displaying a physical or time quantity and facing and above at least one complementary indicator or dial, Said at least one complementary indicator or dial is arranged at or on a local reference or bearing surface partly contained in said movement, said at least one output arbor comprised in The free end on one side of the local reference plane or bearing surface, the free end is concave or flush with respect to the local reference plane or bearing surface. [0002] The invention also relates to a modular timepiece assembly comprising at least one timepiece movement as described above. [0003] The invention also relates to a timepiece formed from a modular assembly of the type described above. [0004] The present invention relates to the field of timepieces and more particularly to the field of visual display mechanisms. Background technique ...
