| 7287901 | Reverser mechanism for uni-directional rotational driving of a wheel set The mechanism includes, mounted to rotate freely on an arbour 6, a driving wheel (5) driven by an oscillating drive pinion (3) and a driven wheel (7) meshed with the first wheel set (1) of a kinematic chain and comprising a dome ( | 10/30/2007 |
| 7217030 | Oscillating weight An oscillating weight for an automatic watch is arranged to carry a bearing defining an axis of rotation (A—A) and is intended to be mounted on the frame of the watch. The mass member of the weight has a center of gravity (G) shifted with respect to the axis of ro... | 05/15/2007 |
| 6939034 | Mechanism for the transmission of axial and rotative movements between two offset axles The mechanism for transmission of axial and rotative movements between two portions of a stem with offset axes, includes a movable assembly movable axially. The section portion of the stem carries a second pinion and is pivoted on said movable assembly but it is axi... | 09/06/2005 |
| 6409379 | Self-winding watch A self-winding watch includes a self-winding mass having a central part surrounded by raceways of a ball bearing. One raceway is integral with the central part. Another raceway is integral with means for positioning and means for removably fastening to wa... | 06/25/2002 |
| 6354731 | Oscillating winding weight for a timepiece with an automatic movement and timepiece fitted with such a winding weight The invention concerns an oscillating winding weight for a timepiece including a heavy portion secured to a connecting element connecting said heavy portion to an arbour fixed to the movement, said weight being intended to be rotatably mounted on said arb... | 03/12/2002 |
| 6120177 | Electronic watch In an electronic watch including a so-called automatic winding dynamo, structures of parts themselves and layout of the parts are improved to achieve a reduction in thickness of the electronic watch. Bearing portions for a rotational shaft (211) of a dyna... | 09/19/2000 |
| 4910720 | Watch having a visible energy producing oscillatory mass An oscillatory mass operative to drive the rotor of a current generator adapted to charge a capacitor feeding the clockwork of an electronic watch is situated above the dial of the watch, which dial serves as a supporting plate for this mass. The arm of t... | 03/20/1990 |
| 4879701 | Memorialized case clocks Case clocks, especially of the so-called tall-case or grandfather type, equipped with at least one suspended elongated weight, preferably contained within a weight shell or casing, are provided with at least one narrow annular memorializing band surroundi... | 11/07/1989 |
| 4759004 | Mechanism for automatic winding of a clock A mechanism for automatically winding a weight driven clock includes a common traveler member mounted for reciprocating movement between a rest and reversal position, a pulling member associated one with each weight of the clock and adapted to exert a pul... | 07/19/1988 |
