Abstract (en)

The watch (11) has an animation mobile driven by a mechanical movement and comprising a series of distinct images. An aperture (4) allows display of a single image (3) carried by the animation mobile. A mechanical device is arranged for transforming a continuous rotation movement of the mechanical movement into a jerky rotational movement of the animation mobile so as to give impression of animated image across the aperture. The animation mobile is stationary in a position to display the image behind the aperture. An independent claim is also included for a method for animation on a wrist watch with mechanical movement.
