Embodiment Construction

[0030] figure 1 The watch shown in includes a watch case 10 defining a housing in which is arranged a watch movement, which will be described with reference to FIGS. A train and a minute train which support the seconds hand 12, the minute hand 14 and the hour hand 16 respectively. A dial 18 is interposed between the movement and the hands. Dial 18 is perforated to form a window 20 through which visible animation elements 22 are arranged to simulate the motion of a pendulum as will be explained below.

[0031] FIG. 2 shows a watch movement 24 according to the invention, such as a movement housed in a watch case 10, in a top view. The dial has been removed. Hands 12, 14 and 16 are transparent and visible. Animated widgets are also visible. Its extreme positions are shown with dashed lines.

[0032] Movement 24 has a base caliber (base caliber) 26, and described base caliber 26 is in image 3 Schematically shown in side view, the base caliber ensures the important function...

Abstract

The invention relates to a mechanical watch mechanism (24) comprising a housing, a finishing clockwork element which is carried by said housing and periodically driven in rotation by a motor element, and an animation part (22) that is to be visible and arranged in such a way that it can be animated by an oscillating movement that can simulate a pendulum movement. Said mechanism also comprises an animation clockwork element (38) that is carried by the housing, is engaged with a mobile part (30) of the finishing clockwork element, and is kinematically connected to the animation part (22).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to timepiece movements comprising a visible moving element and ensuring the display of animations. [0002] More precisely, the invention relates to a mechanical timepiece movement comprising a frame and supported by the frame: [0003] - working gear train, said working gear train comprises a plurality of running wheels and is periodically driven in rotation by a drive element, [0004] - a movable part animated by a pulse movement, [0005] - animated parts, said animated parts are to be visible and arranged so that they are animated by periodic movements, [0006] — control elements for animation components, and [0007] - Animating gear train meshing with a movable part of said working gear train and driving said control element. Background technique [0008] A timepiece movement of this type is described, for example, in patent CH 30.220, which proposes the use of a running wheel to form animated images, said running whee...
