Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for winding or adjusting and controlling a mechanical watch, for example with automatic or electromechanical winding, or even a mechanical watch movement.
  • the winding or adjustment device comprises at least one support on which the watch or the mechanical watch movement is placed.
  • the support can be driven in particular in rotary movements by a motorized arrangement to allow recharging of the energy source, which is generally a spring barrel.
  • Such a time correction system is for example described in the application for patent EP 1 553 469 A1 .
  • the system is provided with a time correction instruction device, comprising according to an exemplary embodiment a computer connected to a camera and to a circuit for generating a time correction signal.
  • the watch includes communication means for receiving time correction data contained in this signal, and means for moving the hands to the exact time.
  • the watch can be placed on a stand with the time indication by the hands visible on the top, and the camera can take a photograph of the position of the hands, which is sent to the computer to recognize the time displayed by the watch.
  • the computer then generates correction data comprising a reference time, and transmits this data to the watch, via the signal generation circuit.
  • the case described in this document comprises a removable support which receives the watch and a device for winding the watch connected to a camera.
  • the winding device comprises data analysis means.
  • the winding device then makes it possible to wind the watch by direct mechanical action on its winding crown-stem.
  • the case described is mechanically complex, and limited to resetting watches with a winding crown stem. Once placed in the closed case, nothing is provided to allow the watch to be seen from the outside in periods without measurement.
  • the patent EP 3 339 984 B1 describes a device for winding watches, which comprises a motor generating the winding, means for acoustic measurement of the oscillator of the watch on its support in the winding position, and control means for analyzing the signals transmitted by the means of measurement in order to regulate the operation of the motor by switching it on when the operating amplitude of the oscillator is lower than a minimum value, and by stopping it when the operating amplitude is greater.

None is planned concerning a measurement by a viewing system of the time displayed by the watch in a box sheltered from outside light, so as to correct the time in the box. In addition, there is no possibility of seeing the watch from the outside in periods without measurement.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device for winding or adjusting and controlling a mechanical watch, in particular with automatic or electromechanical winding, or a mechanical watch movement, making it possible to see the watch or the mechanical movement in a position without measurement from outside the housing of the device by overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks of the state of the art.
