    Description: [0001] The present invention relates to a display mechanism of the year with an indication of the leap year intended to equip a timepiece.
    [0002] In the state of the art, there are watch movements including indications of the leap year. These mechanisms include an additional display, typically using a needle or aperture revealing part of a disk with a 1-2-3-B or 1-2-3-4 indication, the indication changing each year, "B" or "4" generally corresponds to a leap year. When a digital indication of the year exists, the indication of the leap year is additional to this indication.
    [0003] Such mechanisms overload the dial with an indication that is useful only once every four years.
    The present invention aims to provide a mechanism for digital display of the current year and an indication of the leap year without overloading the dial.
    The present invention proposes for these purposes a display mechanism of the year for watch movement comprising - a dozens display member for displaying the digit of the tens of the year to be displayed; and a device for displaying the units carrying at least two ordered series of digits going from zero to nine, allowing the display of the number of units of the year to be displayed, characterized in that the unit display unit has distinguishing elements associated with the zero, four, eight, two and six consecutive digits it bears, which distinguishing elements distinguish these figures from the other figures it bears and thus determine that the year displayed is a leap year.
    In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the distinctive elements are visual. The figures intended to designate the leap years, that is to say the numbers associated with said distinctive elements, have for example a color, a font, a size and / or a marking making them distinct from the other figures of the unit display unit. The distinguishing elements may further include markings and / or shapes located on the display unit of the units next to or near the numbers intended to designate the leap years. The figures intended to designate the leap years can also be distinguishable from the other digits of the unit display unit by a larger relief.
    The tens display member may be a disk rotating about a first axis.
    The unit display member is typically a disk rotating about a second axis, said first and second axes being preferably merged.
    In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the tens display member carries at least a series of digits from zero to nine for displaying the digit of tens of the year to display.
    [0010] Advantageously, the tens display member advances one step every ten years and the unit display member advances one step each year.
    The invention also relates to a timepiece comprising such a display mechanism of the year.
    In a preferred embodiment, the timepiece comprising such a display mechanism of the year includes a date indicator. It can typically be a single calendar, in which case the leap year indication helps the user when setting the date at the end of February. It can also be a perpetual calendar.
    Other features and advantages of the present invention will appear on reading the following detailed description given with reference to the accompanying drawings in which FIG. 1 is a top view of a display mechanism of the year for a watch movement according to one embodiment of the invention.
    [0014] Referring to FIG. 1, the display mechanism of the year according to a preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a tens disk 1 arranged in rotation about an axis 100, and a disk of the units 2 arranged in rotation around this same axis 100. As illustrated, the display mechanism of the year may also include a stationary plate 5 bearing the numbers of hundreds and thousands of the year.
    The tens disk 1 shown in FIG. 1 door, on its upper surface, two ordered series of numbers from zero to nine successive (O, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) allowing the display of the digit of the tens 3 of the year to be displayed.
    The figure of tens 3 of the year to display is for example visible through a window, not shown in FIG. 1, revealing alternately, step by step, one of the figures carried by the tens 1 disk in rotation about the axis 100. In a variant, the number of tens 3 of the year to be displayed is designated using a needle rotating around the axis 100 moving alternately, step by step, on one of the numbers carried by said tens disk 1.
    The disk of the units 2 carries, on its upper surface, two ordered series of numbers ranging from zero to nine successive to display the number of units 4 of the year to display.
    The number of units 4 of the year to be displayed is for example visible through a window showing alternately, step by step, one of the figures carried by the disk units 2 in rotation about the axis 100 In a variant, the number of the units 4 of the year to be displayed is designated by means of a needle rotating about the axis 100 moving alternately, step by step, on one of the figures carried by said disk. units 2.
    According to the invention, the disk of the units 2 has elements associated with the numbers zero, four, eight, two and six successive it carries, these elements making these figures distinguishable from the other figures carried by the disk of units 2. In this way, the distinguishing elements make it possible to determine that the displayed year is leap year.
    In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the successive zero, four, eight, two and six digits of the disk of the units 2 are distinguished from the other digits of this disk 2 in that they are of a different color from the others.
    In known manner, the display mechanism of the year for watch movement according to the embodiment is arranged so that a pitch of the tens disk 1 corresponds to an increment of one unit of the figure. dozens or the passage of nine to zero of the number of tens of the year to display. The watch movement comprising the display mechanism of the year according to the invention is designed so that said tens disk 1 advances, by a trailing mechanism or by jump, a step every ten years.
    The display mechanism of the year for watch movement according to the embodiment is arranged so that a step of the disk of the units 2 corresponds to an incrementation of one unit of the number of the units of the unit. year to be displayed without movement of the digit of the tens of the year to be displayed or the change from nine to zero of the number of units of the year to be displayed at the same time as an increment of one unit or the change from nine to zero of the tens digit of the year to display. The watch movement comprising the display mechanism of the year according to the invention is designed so that said disk units 2 advance, by a trailing mechanism or jump, one step each year.
    In a variant, the tens disk 1 can be replaced by any tens display device, allowing the display of the digit of tens 3 of the year to be displayed, for example a ring gear with internal teeth. or outside.
    Similarly, the disk of the units 2 can be replaced by any unit display unit for displaying the digit units 4 of the year to display satisfactorily.
    It will be clear to those skilled in the art that the present invention is in no way limited to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
    It is for example very feasible to achieve a system whose display member dozens carries only one or more series ordered numbers from zero to nine successive.
    It is also very feasible, for example, to provide a system in which the unit display unit carries more than two ordered series of numbers ranging from zero to nine successive. In this case, the unit display unit typically bears an even number of ordered series of numbers ranging from zero to nine successive: one out of two series having distinctive elements associated with its numbers zero, four and eight; other series having distinctive elements associated with their numbers two and six. These distinctive elements are thus placed so as to allow the indication that the year is leap year.
    In addition, although the distinctive element corresponds to a color difference in FIG. 1, one can very well consider any other type of visual distinctive element to distinguish the numbers intended to designate the leap years of the other figures of the unit display unit. For example, it is possible to modify the font or the size of the digits to be distinguished or to carry out additional marking on or beside these numbers.
    In a variant, the distinctive elements may be any marks located on the disk of the units 2 next to or near the numbers intended to designate the leap years, or they may be forms such as bumps on the periphery of the disk. units 2.
    In another variant, the figures having said at least one distinctive element are distinguishable from the other digits of the unit display unit by a larger relief.
    In another variant, it is of course possible to combine all the above variants.
    The distinctive element visible every four steps of the unit display unit advantageously allows to determine that the displayed year is leap, without overloading the dial. By way of example, FIG. 1 illustrates the display of the year 2024 which is leap.
    When mounting the mechanism, it will obviously be necessary to ensure that the display members of the tens digit and the units digit are aligned properly that is to say that the leap years are well identified. In particular, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the year 2024 which is leap year is well displayed with the number four of the units carrying a distinctive element and not with the number four of the units bearing no distinctive element.
    The display mechanism of the year thus obtained makes it possible to indicate discreetly whether the displayed year corresponds or not to a leap year, by combining the display of the year with an indication of the year. leap.
