Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0254676A1] The ring (7) visible beneath the watch glass is mounted so as to be movable in rotation, coaxially with the dial (4). The push button (9) forms part of a control mechanism which, when pressed, sets the ring (7) in rotation. The ball (11) then moves in a random manner and, when the ring (7) stops, penetrates into one of the indentations (8) distributed around the inner edge of the ring (7). <IMAGE>
