Problems solved by technology

The screens of these watches are continuously turned on in order to at least display the time, which results in a non-negligible energy consumption and thus forces the user to recharge his watch regularly
[0003] There are also conventional hand solutions, but these are not satisfactory because they require special screens, that is, with openings in the middle to allow the The screen through which the gauge needle fittings pass
One of the downsides is the fragility of the screen caused by that opening which means the manufacturer has shock absorbers in place so that the risk of the screen breaking is minimized not to mention the space these hands take up on the screen

Embodiment Construction

[0067] The present invention proposes a new type of smart watch in which a digital display via an OLED screen is associated with an analog display using conventional indicators that may be hands.

[0068] In fact, the present invention allows the time to be displayed via a conventional indicator, which may be a watch hand, thus allowing the smart watch to have the screen on incontinuously. Furthermore, using hands to display the time allows saving energy relative to the display of the time or any other information on the OLED screen.

[0069] Furthermore, the main advantage of the present invention is that the display can be fully or partially exposed, which allows maximizing the display surface when a piece of information is presented on the display.

[0070] Indeed, said display mechanism 100 according to the invention may comprise at least one display 101 , which may be in the form of at least one OLED screen 101 , and at least one second movable element 120 , which may be ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a display mechanism (100) for a watch (200) and a watch (200) comprising the display mechanism (100). The display mechanism (100) comprises at least one display (101), at least one first movable element (110), a second movable element (120) and a support such that when the at least one first movable element (110) is moved at a first primary speed, the at least one second movable element (120) is moved to at least one first position (121) so as to partially or completely cover the at least one display (101). When the at least one first movable element (110) is moved at a first secondary speed, the at least one second movable element (120) is moved to at least one second position (122) so as to completely or partially expose the at least one display (101).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to timepieces and, more precisely, to a display mechanism allowing information to be displayed on a dial. Preferably, the invention relates to the field of watch indicators, and preferably to the field of smart watch indicators. Background technique [0002] Smart watches have grown over the past few years. The screens of these watches are continuously switched on in order to at least display the time, which results in a non-negligible energy consumption and thus forces the user to recharge his watch regularly. [0003] There are also conventional needle solutions, but these solutions are not satisfactory because they require special screens, that is to say screens with an opening in the middle for the passage of the tube of the needle. One of the downsides is the fragility of the screen caused by this opening, which means manufacturers have shock absorbers in place to minimize the risk of the screen cracking, not to men...
