Abstract (en)

[origin: US2018253061A1] The timepiece movement includes a date ring having a plurality of display positions, and a device for positioning said ring in any one of the display positions. The positioning device comprises a lever and a magnetic system formed of a first fixed magnet, a second magnet integral with the lever and a magnetic structure integral with the ring and moving between the two magnets, this magnetic structure being formed of a highly magnetically permeable material and having a radial dimension that varies periodically to define a plurality of periods which correspond to the distances between the display positions. The magnetic axes of the two magnets are substantially aligned and their respective polarities are opposite. During the driving of the ring, the magnetic torque that is applied to the lever varies, so that it is pressed against the ring in the display positions but tends to move away from the ring on one part of the angular movement between these display positions.
