Patent ID: 11156967

Abstract:
An electromechanical timepiece module (1) has a main plate (10) with an actuator module (40) driving at least one mobile part (30) by a gear train (42). The mobile part (30) displays a time or non-time function. A wireless communication module (2) is configured for transmitting and/or receiving a wireless signal. And a control unit (6) is configured for controlling the actuator module (40) depending on a received wireless signal. The mobile part (30) and the gearing (42) are made of an electrically conductive material and are in electrical contact with each other but electrically isolated from the remainder of the timepiece module (1). The mobile part (30) is electrically connected to the communication module (2) so as to act as an antenna for the transmission and/or reception of the wireless signal and to transmit the wireless signal between the mobile part (30) and the wireless communication module (2).
