Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0884659A1] The device for adjusting the time on the watch includes a shaft (8) which in intended to drive a time adjusting wheel (29) by friction. The shaft is terminated by ball (31) which acts against an annular ring (32) formed on the edge of the time adjusting wheel. When the shaft is in its inserted position, the ball turns in a free space. When the shaft is in its extracted position, the ball drives the time adjusting wheel so as to allow adjustment of the hour hand and the minute hand. When the shaft is in its extracted position, the ball (31) operates a lever (7) which interrupts the drive to the hour and minute hands by uncoupling a wheel (5) inserted in the drive train.
