A conventional timepiece movement with a seconds hand, minutes hand and hour hand combined with a chronograph movement including a minutes counter and hours counter and having the capability to zeroize the seconds hand, minutes counter and hours counter.

A chronograph watch including an oscillating lever. The axis of rotation of the oscillating lever is carried by a moveable member. Movement of the oscillating lever controls part of the operation of the watch; movement of the moveable member controls another part of the operation of the counter.

The chronograph hand (8) mounted on a shaft (7) carries a wheel (11) coaxial to a wheel (13) mounted on the end of a small-seconds shaft (2) extending beyond the frame (1) of the clockwork. A double sliding pinion (16-17), carried by a lever (14), can be brought into a position in which it meshes with the wheels (11 and 13), respectively, that renders them rigid to each other, thus ensuring the driving of the hand (8), or to be disengaged therefrom, that produces the uncoupling of this hand. The shaft (7) is maintained by a flexible bridge (9) of this mechanism which acts axially on the said shaft for pressing resiliently a resetting heart (10) it carries against the bearing (6) supporting the said shaft (7). A friction is thus produced on the shaft (7) which prevents any play of the hand (8). The wheel (11) is freely mounted on the shaft (7) it drives through the intermediary of a friction produced by a cumbered washer (12) owing to which the resetting can be effected without wheel (11) be driven.

Disclosed is an analogue chronograph comprising a digital display. The digital display contains an hour and/or minute indicator using numbers. The latter are arranged on individual circular tracks and under a viewing window, form the hour and/or minute indicator in a digital manner. The minute indicator, in particular, can be sub-divided into decimal and unit positions. The chronograph enables the elapsed time to be easily read, even when subjected to strong vibrations, or when the wearer of the chronograph can only glance at the face. The hour indicator has, in addition to numbers 0 to e.g. 9, a symbol similar to a flag, in order to indicate that the limit of the validity range of the time measurement has been reached.

A display device is provided for a watch movement provided with a final gear train intended to drive, at least in a mediated way, means of displaying the time and an energy source driving the final gear train. In one implementation, the display device comprises a display disk for an additional function, and a display gearing of which one moving part carries the display disk. The display device also comprises a second energy source connected mechanically to the display gearing and operating means for the display gearing, designed so as to cause the gearing to be driven by the second energy source when the information for display has to be changed.
