Patent Images
1. Wristwatch comprising:
- a watchcase;
an electronic display in said watchcase;
a quartz oscillator,a microcontroller being arranged for reproducing on said electronic display the simulation of a mechanical watch movement comprising a gear train, said simulation being visible so as to indicate the time, said microcontroller being further arranged for synchronizing the displayed time by said displayed mechanical movement with that of said quartz oscillator.

Abstract
Method for displaying the time in a wristwatch furnished with an electronic display (4) allowing the display of a simulated mechanical watch movement and of time indicators (20) so as to simulate a mechanical watch. The time displayed is advantageously calculated on the basis of the simulation of the movement and depends on the acceleration measured by an accelerometer.

16. Wristwatch comprising:
-
a watchcase; an electronic display in said watchcase; a touch sensor associated with said display and enabling the displacements of at least one finger along at least two different directions to be detected a quartz oscillator, a microcontroller being arranged for reproducing on said electronic display a simulation of a mechanical watch movement visible so as to indicate the time and for synchronizing the displayed time by said displayed mechanical movement with that of said quartz oscillator, said microcontroller being further arranged for interpreting signals from the touch sensor, for selecting one screen from among several available screens depending on these signals, and for displaying this screen on the entirety of said display, said microcontroller being further specifically arranged so as to cause screens to scroll by in order to replace durably the screen displayed initially by another screen, with the orientation and the direction of scrolling depending on the orientation and direction of said displacement, wherein at least two of said screens correspond to two distinct mechanical movements that can be selected by the user.
