Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012123806A2] The invention relates to a display module of a timepiece, intended to display a sequence of alphanumeric characters and/or images at different moments. The display module comprises a platform (3) arranged to be rotated about an axis, as well as multiple mobiles (5) arranged on the platform (3) such that each mobile (5) rotates about itself while orbiting the axis of rotation of the platform (3) when the platform is rotated. The display module also comprises multiple lugs (1) arranged on each mobile (5) in order to be positioned alternately at the centre of the display module. Each lug (1) of each mobile (5) is actuated in order to be oriented in a substantially identical plane at the centre of the display module, adjacent to one another, so as to form a central display unit (2). Each lug (1) comprises part of an alphanumeric character or image such that the central display unit (2), formed by multiple lugs (1), can at any moment display one of the alphanumeric characters and/or images.
