Abstract (en)

The watch(1) has several windows(2) in which appear simultaneously signs(3). The sign changing frequency for each window can be varied in a set manner. The windows(2) are arranged in the watch face(1) on concentric circles whose centre correspond to the watch face centre. The windows may be aligned along a radial line from the centre of the watch face. The signs, symbols, etc.(3), appearing in the windows(2), are carried on co-axial concentric discs(4,24,31) whose central axis(23) corresponds to the watch timing movement axis. The discs are rotated at specific speeds by means of a mechanism coupled with the timing movement of the watch. The speed relationships between the discs(4,24,31) are defined by intermediate movements co-operating with each other and coupled to the timing movement of the watch.
