Abstract (en)

The wrist watch has an analog display provided with two needles (6, 8) that are independently controlled. The needles have profiles that are designed to form together an image when having a particular angular movement. A control rod dynamically varies the angle between the needles according to a defined sequence in order to display a determined animation e.g. animation of fish (22).
