- document EP-A-0 064 023 describes a wristwatch 1 comprising a minute hand 2, a 3 hour hand, a stepper motor (no shown) to drive these needles, and a crown stem 4 likely to take two axial positions, a rest position and a working position.
- the rest position corresponds to a crown reference position
- the position of work corresponds to a drawn position relative to the previous position, this position allowing select data.
- the data selected can advantageously appear on a auxiliary display 5, such as a digital display liquid crystals.
- auxiliary display 5 such as a digital display liquid crystals.
- the Swiss patent No 643427 describes in more detail such a crown stem used as a switching device.

- an elastic element 23 On the crown stem 21 is fixed an elastic element 23 having two notches 23a and 23b which can successively receive a peg 24 fixed in the housing.
- the elastic element 23 and the peak 24 allow to put the crown stem 21 in two predetermined stable axial positions.
- the crown stem 21 carries two identical cams 25 and 26, these cams having a substantially elliptical shape, and being out of phase about 45 ° from each other, like the represents FIG. 2.

- Blades 27 and 28 and contacts 30 and 31, respectively form first and second switches capable of providing two pulses per revolution of the rod for each contact 30, 31.
- the angular phase shift between the two pulses produced by the first switch and those produced by the second switch corresponds to the angle formed by the two cams 25 and 26, that is to say at 45 ° in this case.
- the switching device shown in Figure 2 further comprises a third blade 32, this blade being elastic, electrically conductive and placed at the end of the stem-crown 21.
- One end of the blade 32 is fixed on a part 33 connected to the housing which forms a terminal massive.
- the crown stem 21 When the crown stem 21 is in position axial thrust, or rest position, its end presses on the blade 32, and maintains the free end of the latter applied against a fixed contact 34 connected to the terminal positive of the supply voltage source while that when the rod is in the pulled position, or work, the blade 32 remains away from this fixed contact, this which makes a switch between the rest position and the working position.
- timepieces provided with a crown such as described above are based on the speed of rotation given by the user to this crown, or on its meaning of rotation.
- a disadvantage of such methods is that it is necessary to quickly turn the crown to make a quick data change, which makes the selection is not easy.

- Procédé de sélection selon la revendication 2, caractérisé en ce que l'unité de traitement comprend en outre des moyens de mémorisation agencés de sorte qu'ils peuvent recevoir et contenir la pluralité de données.
- Procédé de sélection selon la revendication 3, caractérisé en ce que les données à sélectionner sont des noms patronymiques associés à des données alphanumériques, chacun des sous-ensembles regroupant la totalité des noms commençant par la même lettre, et t'ordre prédéterminé étant celui de l'alphabet.
- Procédé de sélection selon la revendication 3, caractérisé en ce que les données à sélectionner correspondent à des noms communs associés à des signifiants, chacun des sous-ensembles regroupant la totalité des noms commençant par ta même lettre, et l'ordre prédéterminé étant celui de l'alphabet.
- Procédé de sélection selon ta revendication 3, caractérisé en ce que tes données à sélectionner correspondent à des jours associés à des événements, chacun des sous-ensembles correspondant à l'un des mois d'une année, et l'ordre prédéterminé étant celui de l'écoulement du temps.
- Procédé de sélection selon la revendication 2, caractérisé en ce que le dispositif électronique est contenu dans une pièce d'horlogerie électronique analogique.
- Procédé de sélection selon la revendication 7, caractérisé en ce que les données à sélectionner correspondent aux minutes d'une heure, chacun des sous-ensembles correspondant à l'une des heures d'une journée, et ledit ordre prédéterminé étant celui de l'écoulement du temps.
- Procédé de sélection selon la revendication 8, caractérisé en ce que l'unité de traitement est agencée de sorte qu'elle peut également contenir une durée prédéterminée, et comprendre :des premiers moyens de comptage agencés de sorte qu'ils peuvent compter une durée, cette durée étant mise à "0" lors de l'installation initiale de ladite pièce d'horlogerie, et dès que l'utilisateur n'actionne plus les moyens d'acquisition pendant une durée supérieure à la durée prédéterminée;etdes seconds moyens de comptage reliés aux moyens de commande, les seconds moyens de comptage étant agencés de sorte que, suite à une activité des moyens de commande recevant un nombre d'impulsions et un sens de défilement, les seconds moyens de comptage peuvent compter un nombre de pas qui représente cette activité, ajouter ce nombre à un nombre de pas précédemment comptés, et stocker le résultat de cette opération en tant que nombre de pas comptés, ce nombre de pas stocké étant une valeur algébrique dont le signe est positif quand te sens de défilement est selon l'ordre prédéterminé, et inversement, cette valeur étant mise à "0" lors de l'installation initiale de la pièce d'horlogerie, et dès que la durée comptée par les premiers moyens de comptage est supérieure à la durée prédéterminée.
