Abstract (en)

Watch, comprising an electronic, electromechanical or mechanical clockwork (1, 11) including time display means (2, 3, 12, 13, 14) and means (5, 20) for setting the time. Moreover, means (5, 20) are provided for entering an unlock/lock code and means (4, 15-35) for unlocking/locking the clockwork or the display means when the entered unlock/lock code has a predetermined value. When the watch comprises an electronic or electromechanical clockwork, electronic clockwork control means (1) may be provided as well as means (4, 5) arranged for receiving said unlock/lock code, comparing its value with said predetermined value and unlocking/locking the clockwork or the display means when the entered unlock/lock code has said predetermined value, e.g. formed by one or more time values. When the watch is driven by an electromechanical or mechanical clockwork a mechanical configuration may be applied, comprising discs (15, 16) provided with slots which can be penetrated by one or two penetrators (18, 28) which are engaged with ON/OFF actuators (19, 29), which are arranged to lock or release the clockwork (11).
