Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022022827A1] The invention relates to a method for the permanent time setting of a sympathetic watch (200) by a sympathetic clock (100) with which the watch (200) forms a sympathetic assembly (1000), the watch (200) comprising an hour display (4) and a minute display (5), of which a reference position is defined; according to the method, time setting is performed only on demand by the action of a user on a control means (300) with which either the clock (100) or the watch (200) is equipped, or automatically in a periodic manner controlled by the clock (100), and, in order to carry out relative time setting, the clock (100) drives said displays (4; 5) of the watch in reverse, anticlockwise, with a sufficiently large stroke to ensure that the displays (4; 5) pass by the reference position, or the clock controls means of the watch (200) arranged so as to ensure the movement of the displays towards the reference position, by means of heart-shaped cams.
