Abstract:
1. A device in an electromechanical watch including a watch movement having an electronic control circuit, the device being configured to allow the electronic control circuit of the watch movement to determine the moment at which and the direction in which an indication showing a time related parameter has to be corrected, said device comprising: an actuating wheel which is driven by the watch movement; first and second detection means electrically connected to the electronic control circuit, said first and second detection means including first and second wire springs, respectively; actuating means for actuating the first and second detection means, said actuating means including first and second pins extending from the actuating wheel and rotating therewith, said electronic control circuit deducing, from the moment at which and the order in which the first and second wire springs are actuated by the first and second pins, the direction in which the actuating wheel is being driven by the movement and the moment when the time related parameter has to be respectively incremented or decremented; wherein the first and second pins project from underneath a bottom surface of the actuating wheel.
