Embodiment Construction

[0021] The present invention arises from the general inventive idea of ​​rigidly engaging the hour wheel with the additional wheel by means of a connecting pinion in all operating phases of the time zone timepiece, except the time in the regulation zone. Thus, the torque transmission from the motion work to the additional device is transmitted through the hour wheel, the connecting pinion and the additional wheel during the working phase and the time-setting phase. The transmission of the force between the hour wheel and the additional wheel is thus deviated (original path) through the connecting pinion, with the exception of the time in the set zone - in which case the connecting pinion is disengaged - making the time The limited torque mechanism where the wheel and the additional wheel are engaged is no longer in operation.

[0022] The present invention will be described below in conjunction with an additional device of the instantaneous calendar mechanism type. Of course ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a time zone clock including an hour hand (6), which can move forward or backward in steps of one hour through a manual time setting handle (28) without affecting the minute display. The hour hand (6) is installed on an hour wheel tube (4), an hour wheel (2) driven by a hand movement mechanism (10) is adjusted to freely pivot around the hour wheel tube, and an hour wheel (2) is fixed on the tube (4) The additional wheel (12) on the watch drives an additional device, and the hour wheel (2) is connected to the additional wheel (12) through a limited torque mechanism (16). The characteristic of the clock is that, in addition to correcting the time zone time, In addition, the hour wheel (2) and the additional wheel (12) are further rigidly connected through a second connecting mechanism.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a time zone timepiece, the hour hand of which can be moved forward or backward in one-hour steps by means of a manual time setting handle without affecting the display of minutes. technical background [0002] A timepiece of the above type is very useful when a traveler travels from one time zone to another and has to adjust his watch to the new time. Because the difference between the new time and the old time is a full hour in one direction or the other, it would be beneficial for the person wearing the watch to have a way to immediately move the hour hand forward or backward a full hour without affecting the minutes display of. [0003] To solve the problems raised above, CH Patent No. 388855 to Ruch and CH Patent No. 685965 to Ulysse Nardin are known. [0004] The timepiece to which the Ruch patent relates includes a local time indicating member, a time zone time indicating disc rotating around the hour wheel, and...
