    Technical area
    The present invention relates to the field of horology. More particularly, it relates to a watch piece comprising a movement and means for displaying the current time, intended to be driven by the movement.
    State of the art
    In terms of watchmaking, we continually seek to offer original watches. Originality can come from the mechanism that is built into the watch, or from the cladding that makes the watch unique.
    [0003] Quite rarely, a new watch concept has just renewed the genre, by proposing a new concept of complication. This is what the applicant proposed, by developing a series of watches incorporating mechanical complications, to play card games, such as poker, baccarat or blackjack.
    This is another concept of complication that the present invention aims to integrate into a watch.
    Disclosure of the invention
    More specifically, the invention relates to a watch as proposed in the claims.

    Other details of the invention will appear more clearly on reading the description which follows, given with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:<tb> Fig. 1 <SEP> is a top view for viewing an example of a watch according to the invention;<tb> figs. 2a and 2b <SEP> are side views illustrating a first magic trick capable of being implemented in a watch according to the invention;<tb> figs. 3a and 3b <SEP> illustrate a top view of a second trick of magic that can be implemented in a watch according to the invention;<tb> figs. 4a and 4b <SEP> illustrate in plan view a third trick of magic that can be implemented in a watch according to the invention;<tb> figs. 5a and 5b <SEP> illustrate in top view and side respectively, a fourth magic trick capable of being implemented in a watch according to the invention; and<tb> fig. 6 <SEP> is a side view illustrating a fifth magic trick capable of being implemented in a watch according to the invention.
    Embodiment of the invention
    As mentioned above, the present invention consists in proposing a new horological complication concept, to be introduced into a watch, preferably a wristwatch, comprising a movement and means for displaying the current time, intended to be driven. According to the invention, the watch comprises mechanical means for producing at least one, preferably at least two, magic tricks.
    In the field of prestidigitation, magic tricks are classified in various categories, in which we choose the turns implemented in a watch according to the invention. We can thus have the following categories:<tb> "transposition": <SEP> which consists in giving the illusion that an object is replaced by another,<tb> "prediction": <SEP> which consists in giving the illusion that the "magician" is capable of predicting the future or a choice of a person,<tb> "divination": <SEP> which consists in giving the illusion that the "magician" is able to guess a situation or a result of an experiment,<tb> "disappearance": <SEP> which consists in giving the illusion that the "magician" makes an object disappear,<tb> "transformation": <SEP> which consists in giving the illusion that an object in one state is transformed into a second state,<tb> "levitation": <SEP> which consists in giving the illusion that an object floats in the air.
    [0009] FIG. 1, an example of a watch implementing several magic tricks, detailed below.
    To implement some of these towers, the mechanical means are movable and require the movement of elements.
    For example, in a transformation case (10 in Fig. 1) shown particularly in Figs. 2a and 2b, there is implemented an annular interference filter 12 having a partially transparent texture pattern 14 of alpha angular period. More particularly, this texture pattern 14 is a checkerboard, comprising an alternation of opaque and transparent portions, arranged in radial sectors of angle alpha. A disk 16 arranged to be visible by a user through the interference filter 12 is also implemented. This disk 16 is provided with a first and a second inscription set located on the side of the interference filter 12. These inscriptions are made according to the same texture pattern as that used for the interference filter 12, but the first and second sets of inscriptions are shifted by an angle alpha / 2. Thus, according to the example, one can have the first registration game which includes Arabic numerals to form time marks, these figures being made with the texture pattern. The second inscription game has the same numbers, in Roman format, also made with this pattern, but offset angularly.
    The disk 16 is rotatably mounted, in an angular increment of alpha / 2, so as to leave visible the first or the second registration set through the interference filter 12, depending on its position. Indeed, thanks to the angular offset of the first and second writing games, one is visible through the transparent portions of the interference filter 12, while the other is hidden behind the opaque portions of the interference filter 12, and vice versa. versa.
    It will be noted that the interference filter 12 could be mobile and not the disk, or that both could be mobile. Among the disk 16 and the interference filter 12, the one that is mobile can advance continuously or in return, in steps of alpha / 2 for the total relative rotation between the two elements.
    The rotation of the disk 16, respectively the interference filter 12 or 2, allows to give the illusion of changing the appearance of the inscriptions, making visible the first or second registration games.
    An example of transposition (20 in FIG 1) is shown more particularly in FIGS. 3a and 3b. In this case, there are n identical patterns rotatably mounted according to a respective axis arranged substantially radially relative to the movement and visible in n respective windows. The patterns are arranged to present each n distinct aspects.
    In the particular example, there is shown two identical cubes 22, each appearing in a first color or, after rotation of 180 ° about their axis 24, in a second color. These two colors are made on the faces of the pillars forming the cubes 22. One could have the same effect with patterns having other shapes, such as with disks for example. Thus, the patterns are likely to occupy successive positions in which each pattern does not appear in a window 26, only one of the n aspects, said patterns passing from one successive position to another by rotation of 3607n around their respective axis 24.
    To drive the various rotational patterns, the watch has a not shown actuator, arranged to control a drive system in synchronism patterns and pass patterns from one successive position to another. The synchronism drive system can be obtained by a toothed ring 28, connecting a pinion 29 integral with the axis bearing each of the patterns. The trigger member may be a ring or a pusher, arranged to actuate the toothed ring 28.
    The patterns are arranged so that all the patterns do not have the same appearance simultaneously. Thus, in the example, one of the cubes 22 has a first color while the other has the other color.
    Advantageously, the watch further comprises an expansion intended to be actuated by the trigger member, preferably a pusher in this case. When the trigger is released, it suddenly drives the drive system synchronously. Thus, the change of position of the patterns is not perceptible to the human eye, which makes it possible to obtain the desired illusion of the change of transposition of the cubes. To obtain such an illusion, the change is faster than 1/24 <è> <m> <e> second, which corresponds to the time required for the human eye to perceive distinctly two successive images.
    [0020] A transformation lathe (30 in Fig. 1) is illustrated more particularly in Figs. 4a and 4b. It implements two transparent compartments 32a and 32b integrally connected by one of their faces by means of an opaque layer. One of the compartments 32a contains an object in a first state, and the other of the compartments 32b containing said object in a second state. In the example, the object is a gemstone 34. In the first compartment 32a, it is cut into a single piece (first state). In the second compartment 32b, there are pieces 36 of gemstone of the same color, giving the impression that it is the same gemstone as in the first compartment, but, broken into pieces (second state).
    The compartments are rotatably mounted to leave only one of the compartments visible through a window 38.
    There is also a trigger member arranged to control a drive system 39, which may include a rack and a pinion) to rotate the compartments and leave said object in the first or the second state respectively.
    Advantageously, the watch further comprises an expansion intended to be actuated by the trigger member, preferably a pusher. When the trigger is released, it suddenly drives the drive system 39. Thus, the change of position of the compartment is not noticeable by the human eye, which allows to obtain the desired illusion.
    A prediction round can still be proposed. This trick is not particularly illustrated, but it is found in fig. 1 to 40. This prediction turn implements a pad with m sides, mounted to rotate in a direction arranged substantially radially relative to the movement. This turn also implements a drive system arranged to make the plot take m successive positions in which only one of the sides is visible simultaneously in a window, the block passing from one successive position to another by rotation of 3607m around of its axis. In the illustrated example, the pad has 4 faces, which can be respectively associated with the 4 seasons, by the images that each faces. The drive system can be operated by a discrete controller that the "wizard" can use. This tour requires an exchange with a third person who defines the audience. This third person mentally selects one of the faces of the stud. Then, by a set of questions, the magician user finds the face chosen by giving the illusion of having predicted it and by actuating the control device without the third person realizing it, so as to reveal the chosen face.
    [0025] An additional, similar trick is classified as "divination" (50 in Fig. 1). It implements a mechanism similar to that of prediction. In the example shown, it is a 5-sided pad 52, each representing a game card. The magician user operates the drive system, without looking at the face of the stud that results from the draw.
    [0026] In the case of a divination, the mechanism associated with the turn comprises a mobile indicator connected kinematically desmodromically to the pad and whose position is a function of the face of the pad visible in the window 54. This witness is visible by the user magician , when he does not see the studs. He is thus able to "guess" which face the pad displays after being actuated.
    [0027] For the above examples, if they are implemented in the same watch, the different turns are actuated by separate and separate trip units, although they are designated by the same term. These triggering members may be push-buttons, for example housed in a discrete manner in the horns of the box, particularly when it comes to moving objects rapidly, as in the conversion or transposition towers,
    To implement some of these towers, the mechanical means are fixed,
    This is for example the case of a "transposition" turn (60 in Fig. 1), illustrated in Figs. 5a and 5b. It implements a three-dimensional shape 62 visible through a first 64a and a second 64b wickets defining non-parallel planes. Typically, the first window 64a is on the dial side of the watch, while the second window 64b is formed in the middle part of the watch.
    The three-dimensional shape 62 comprises a first 62a and a second 62b faces respectively disposed opposite the first 64a and second 64b windows. The faces 62a and 62b are oriented and positioned one with reference to the other so that the first face 62a is visible in the first window 64a and hides the second face 62b, making it invisible through the first window 64a . Similarly, the second face 62b is visible in the second window 64b and hides the first face 62a, making it invisible through the second window 64b. For example, FIG. 5b shows the top view of the three-dimensional shape 62. The user sees a heart. Fig. 5a shows the side view of the three-dimensional shape 62. The user sees a spike.
    Preferably, the three-dimensional shape is arranged in a transparent volume, fixed with reference to the timepiece. This gives the impression that the three-dimensional shape 62 is suspended.
    FIG. 6 also proposes a static tour, illustrating an example of levitation, which could take place in the center of the watch (not visible in Fig. 1). In this example, a cover 72 is positioned on the barrel 74 of the needles forming the means for displaying the current time. The cover 72 is visible in the center of a compartment 76 whose side walls 78 are transparent. In order to be visible through the side walls 78, representations 82 of the cache have been positioned. In these representations 82, the cache 72 is modified. Typically, the upper part of the representation is identical, but its base, movement side is different, typically truncated and not connected to the frame. The side walls 78 allow to give the illusion of seeing a reflection of the cache, while we see a different representation. This reflection gives the impression, therefore, that the hands are not connected to the movement, but are suspended.
    This advantageous example can be adapted to another member having a first appearance and which is given the illusion that it presents a second.
    Thus are proposed different magic tricks that can be integrated in combination or separately in a watch. Those skilled in the art will be able to imagine further variations without departing from the scope defined by claim 1.
