A universal device is for preparation of a watch with a gain/loss correction crown and an oscillating resonator. The device includes winding and a gain/loss corrector with a robotic manipulator for manoeuvring the crown. It also includes an adjustment device with a gain/loss correction device including a gain/loss-corrector oscillator generating an oscillation to subject the watch to an oscillation at a correction frequency NC and/or to a modulated movement. The gain/loss correction device includes a gain/loss controller that controls the oscillation of the gain/loss-corrector oscillator, interfaced with a device to measure the gain/loss of the watch. The gain/loss correction device also includes an automatic winder with a watch-holder stand subjected to the oscillations or movements generated by the gain/loss-corrector oscillator. |

A universal device for the winding and time-setting of a watch with oscillating resonator, including a rewinding and state corrector, including an automatic winding mechanism, state measurer relative to a reference, stoppage monitor to observe the stoppage of the resonator, running monitor of the resonator, controller to identify the stoppage time displayed, compute the time remaining until a synchronisation between the actual time indicated by the reference and the stoppage time, and, when this remaining time has elapsed, activate the winding mechanism to rewind the storage device of the watch, and, following activation of the winding mechanism, await the determination of the stabilisation of the nominal running of the resonator by these monitors before allowing adjustment of the state of the watch. |

A watchwinder adapted for home use or in a retail store environment includes a horizontal dovetail groove or channel on the top, bottom and side surfaces of the watchwinder housing which cooperates with a removable interlocking bar or rail of mating dovetail shape to selectively and detachably interconnect adjacent watchwinders arranged in a vertical or side-by-side relation. The grooves preferably extend across the horizontal dimension of the watchwinder to a point short of the front of the housing for concealment purposes, and are made relatively wide in relation to the dimensions of the housing to improve rigidity of an interlocked grouping of watchwinders and to simplify assembly. Preferably, the channels are of equal size and shape and spaced equidistantly apart. An array of interlocked watchwinders can be built up to varying size and shape, and one or more of the watchwinders can be selectively removed from anywhere within the array without disturbing the others. |

The timepiece (1) includes a mainspring (2) driving the rotor (3a) of an electromechanical converter (3) and time display hands (6). A circuit (7) for enslaving the real angular position of the rotor (3a) to its desired angular position is supplied with electrical energy by the converter (3). In order to increase the autonomy of the timepiece (1), the enslaving circuit (7) includes means (28) which store a portion of the electrical energy generated by the converter (3) and means (21, 23 to 27) which use this stored electrical energy to apply driving pulses (IM) to the converter (3) when the rotor (3a) has a greater retardation than a determined retardation, with respect to its desired angular position. |

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wind-up device which is suitable for forming a storage box, having a small, practical and convenient dimensions, making fixation work of a wrist watch unnecessary and decreasing the load of mechanical part on the wrist watch, by replacing rotational motion in a plane parallel to a dial face with the mechanical part of the self-winding wrist watch as the center into a motion which is natural to the wrist watch. <P>SOLUTION: Fixation of the wrist watch 7 is enabled, by only closing an external lid 6, to obtain a general conveniences. An actuation arm gives a reciprocating motion of three fourths revolutions, parallel to an inner box 1, and the mechanism of the self-winding wrist watch is activated, then the function of the wrist watch is made to continue. This motion approximates the natural movements of human and has low aggressiveness toward the wrist watch mechanical part, and this motion is also capable of simultaneously acting to the plural wrist watches. The wrist watch storage box, wrapping in the inner box 1, is formed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spring-driven clock with high autonomy than conventional, without greatly increasing a space required for a timer movement. SOLUTION: A clock 1 has a rotor 3a for an electrical-mechanical converter 3 and a spring 2 to drive a time display needle 6. The converter 3 supplies electric energy to a following circuit 7 to match the actual angular position of the rotor 3a to its desired angular position. To increase the autonomy of the clock 1, the following circuit 7 is provided with a means 28 to accumulate part of electric energy generated by the converter 3 and means 21, 23-27 to send a driving pulse 1M to the converter 3 by using the accumulated electric energy when the rotor 3a has a greater delay than a preset delay to the desired angular position. |
