Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1286233A1] A transmission part which cooperates with a time marking equation cam (32) is a bridge piece (54) having a toothed sector (64) at one end and which is acted on by a reset spring which tends to push its other end (66) against the periphery of the cam (32). . The mechanism includes a time difference equation marking mechanism as well as month indicating mechanism. It has hour and minute hands which indicate civil time and a supplementary minute hand which indicates true time. The daily position of the true time minute hand with respect to the civil minute hand is determined by a the position of a time equation cam (32) rotated by a yearly revolution from the month indicating mechanism. The true time hand is driven by a differential gear (50). A transmission part cooperates with the cam (32) to transmit to the differential the pivoting movement from the cam.
