An Improved Watch.
I AUGUSTE AMARON, of Denens, in the republic of Switzerland, Watch and Clock
maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the construction of an improved watch the object of
the invention being to provide a watch which will go for from eight to ninety days

wheels mounted on a plato which carries the whole of the mechanism.
of these wheels the barrel or great wheel is wound up. This wheel has two hundred
teeth and the main spring is about 1" 65" long. The spring being wound up
movement is transmitted from the barrel to a small pinion on, the axis of which is
fixed an intermediate wheel which gears with another pinion the axis of which
carries a toothed wheel engaging with another toothed wheel; this wheel gears
with a toothed wheel the axis of which carries the minute hand and also carries
a pinion which engages with another toothed wheel on the cannon of which is
mounted the hour hand. An intermediate wheel and a contrate or light wheel are
employed for putting the movement in communication with the escapement.

SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Watch.
I AUGUSTE AMARON, of Denens, in the republic of Switzerland, Watch and Clock
maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:
This invention relates to the construction of an improved watch, the object of
the invention being to provide a watch which will go for from eight to ninety days
without being rewound.
In the accompanying drawing:
:-
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the improved watch.
Figure 2 is a similar view with the dial removed for the purpose of showing
the gearing which actuates the hands.
Figure 3 is a front elevation with the dial and the plate carrying the said gearing
removed in order to show the arrangement of the barrel.
Figure 4 is an interior view showing the complete mechanism of the watch.
Figure 5 is a similar view showing the arrangement of toothed wheels.
In carrying out the invention the improved watch is constructed with two toothed
wheels a and b mounted on a plate which carries the whole of the mechanism. By
means of the wheels a and b the barrel c or great wheel is wound up. This wheel has
two hundred teeth and the main spring is about 1 65° long. The spring being
wound up movement is transmitted from the barrel to a small pinion d, figure 3, on
the arbor of which is fixed an intermediate wheel e, figures 4 and 5, which gears with
a pinion f, the arbor of which carries a toothed wheel g, figure 2 engaging with a
toothed wheel h, figure 2; the motion of the wheel is communicated to a toothed
wheel i, on the arbor of which is mounted the minute hand. The arbor of the wheel h

page_text: carries a pinion which engages with a toothed wheel on the cannon of which is
mounted the hour hand. An intermediate wheel m and a seconds wheel n (figure 5)
are employed for putting the movement in communication with the escapement.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed; I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
