  • a further one of the problems addressed by the invention is to integrate in a same watch movement comprising a mechanical movement and electronics, a system that monitors the correct functionning of the watch movement.
  • a mechanical watch movement also known as a caliber
  • electronic and electro-magnetic parts such as for example a Lavet micro-motor, a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), a battery, and one or more sensors.
  • the electronic parts are truly part of the mechanical movement and cannot stand without it. As a whole a hybrid mechanical watch movement is obtained.
  • the hybrid mechanical watch movement comprises a plurality of classical mechanical movement parts such as a bridge 21, a plate 28, weels 27 and disks 29. It further comprises micro-motor parts 22, a rechargeable battery 26, battery contacts 23 and 24, and a populated Printed Circuit Board (PCB) 25.
  • classical mechanical movement parts such as a bridge 21, a plate 28, weels 27 and disks 29.
  • micro-motor parts 22 such as a battery 24, battery contacts 23 and 24, and a populated Printed Circuit Board (PCB) 25.
  • PCB Printed Circuit Board
  • the electronic components i.e. the PCB 25, the battery 26, the microphone 30a and the Lavet motor 22 are held in the movement between the plate 28 and the bridge 21, in a manner similar as with traditional mechanical parts.
  • the micro-motor is a Lavet type stepping motor, i.e., a special kind of single-phase stepping motor, well known from prior art.
  • the hybrid movement may display time in a manner similar to that of a classical mechanical watch movement. It may also mechanically display date and moonphase.
  • Figure 1 shows an example of a display where the movement displays time by means of an hours hand 13 and minutes hand 12, and display date by means of a date hand 14 and moonphase by means of a dedicated moonphase display 15.
  • the hybrid movement may in addition to the display similar to that of a classical mechanical watch further be enabled to display additional information by means of a micro-motor 11, which may for example be the micro-motor 22, 31-35 illustrated in figures 2 and 3 , and rotate an additional hand driven by the micro-motor 11. This additional information is not displayed by mechanical parts.
  • a micro-motor 11 which may for example be the micro-motor 22, 31-35 illustrated in figures 2 and 3 , and rotate an additional hand driven by the micro-motor 11. This additional information is not displayed by mechanical parts.
  • the micro-motor comprises a bridge 31, a self and stator assembly 33, motor wheels 34 and a base 35. It further comprises a motor PCB 32 for connection purposes.
  • the electro-magnetic parts i.e. coil and stator 33, rotor and mobiles 34, are enclosed in a shielding case (as well known as Faraday cage) composed of shield base 35 and a shield cover 31.
  • the shielding case is made of magnetically conductive material to enclose the magnetic fields inside the shielding case 31, 35, and to prevent them from disturbing the proper operation of the mechanical parts of the hybrid movement.
  • the electronic parts comprise the PCB 25, which is powered by the rechargeable battery 26 through the battery connections 23 & 24.

  • the wireless interface is Bluetooth Low Energy®.
  • the electronic parts of the hybrid movement further comprise the at least one micro-processor (not illustrated in figure 1 ) that is configured to drive the micro-motor 11 in order to display the additional information.
  • This additional information may be either or a the same time derived
  • the embedded processor may further realize the following functions:
  • the contact PCB 32 enables to connect the Lavet micro-motor coil 33 to the electronic PCB 35, without letting the magnetic fields go out of the Faraday cage. Thanks to this connection, the processor 42 on the PCB drives the coil 33 to move tha hand 11 and thus displays the information that the processor 42 is programmed to display.
  • this represents a block diagram of electronic parts according to an example embodiment of the invention. Accordingly, the electronic parts 41-46 may in addition to the already mentionned
  • the embedded processor 42 may be configured to count steps of the intended user wearing the hybrid movement watch, and to monitor sleep cycles.
  • FIG. 5 shows and example metal dial where an opening 51 is left to let the radio-frequency waves, generated and received by the wireless interface, go through. This opening is :
  • the opening zone 51 is big enough to let enough waves go through and small enough not to impact the esthetics of the dial.
  • the opening zone 51 is placed above the location of the antenna circuit of the wireless interface to maximize the transmission of radio-frequency waves out of the watch dial and case.
  • a microphone 61 may be placed in a cavity 63 dug for example inside the main plate 60 of the movement.
  • the cavity 63 is placed as close as possible to the source of the mechanical elements creating the characteristic noise of the mechanical movement, which incidentally comprises
  • the cavity 63 goes through the whole thickness of the plate 60 to enable an improved circulation of the noise from the mechanical elements to the microphone 61.
  • a microphone signal 43 measured with the microphone 61 (not shown in figure 4 ) is acquired by a processor 42.
  • the processor 42 filters the microphone signal 43 to keep the information coming from the mechanical beat.
  • An algorithm in the processor 41 calculates the beat frequency of the movement and thus the precision in time of the movement. This information is either diplayed on the Lavet motor display 11 (not represented in figure 4 ) or sent via a wireless interface as illustrated in an example manner by a Bluetooth Low Energy® processing 41 and antenna 40.
  • the microphone 81 picks up the sound of the mechanical movement.
  • the rest of the treatment chain is embedded in a processor 89.
  • a first ADC block 82 (Analaog to Digital Converter) acquires the signal from the microphone 81. The data from the acquired signal is then either stored in memory 88 or sent to a filter 83. The filtered signal output from filter 82 is sent to the algorithm 84.
  • the algorithm 84 computes from the input signal a beat period 85, a beat frequency 86, and a time drift 87-the actual time given by the movement compared to the perfect official time. The time drift 87 gives the unprecision of the movement or its error in giving the time.
  • the beat period 85, the beat frequency 86, and the time drift 87, but also a sound recording 88 are sent via a wireless interface 83 to an external connected device, for example a smartphone companion application in a prefered embodiment of the invention.
  • the signal 91 picked up by the microphone 81 recording the sound of the beat of the mechanical movement is digitized and analyzed by the processor 89.
  • the algorithm 84 according to parameters such as A, determines a series of measurements T1, T2, T3, etc.
  • the signal of the microphone 43 is sent over the wireless interface 41 to be analyzed and computed by a device connected to the movement via the wireless interface.
  • the movement is connected to a companion application running on a smartphone, tablet or computer based platform, analyzing the sound recording of the microphone 43 and, computing and diplaying the precision in time of the movement.
