AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing sympathetic table clocks and watches face issues such as unnecessary time-setting deviations, excessive wear of automatic barrels, uncertain time settings, incomplete winding, and limited functionality, particularly when the watch is constantly placed on the table clock.

Method used

A sympathetic clock assembly with a table clock and wristwatch that includes a connection mechanism with two separate transmission lines for selecting functions and transmitting power, allowing optimal winding, accurate time setting on demand, and displaying multiple time variables, including seconds, minutes, hours, date, moon phase, and more, while minimizing wear and ensuring precise timekeeping.

Benefits of technology

Ensures the watch is always optimally wound and accurately time-set, even when stopped, with enhanced functionality and reduced wear, providing stable and precise timekeeping when not in use.

Abstract

The invention relates to a step-by-step method for setting the time of a sympathetic watch (200) by means of a sympathetic table clock (100), the watch (200) and the table clock (100) together forming an sympathetic assembly, wherein predetermined time setting steps and reference positions of a display (3; 4; 5) of the watch (200) are determined, and wherein the table clock (100) sets the time of the watch (200) as follows: a transmission line is positioned at a position corresponding to the time setting, the transmission line is actuated in successive steps each having a predetermined step value, the transmission line being able to impart to the internal time setting mechanism of the watch (200) any movement required to achieve an accurate display of the current time.
