The timepiece includes a timekeeper for displaying the hour and the minute by means of hands (4, 5) surmounting a dial (80) surrounded by a bezel (7) and a receiver capable of receiving personal paging messages stemming from at least two call numbers. The call numbers (81) are written in clear or in coded form on the bezel and means are employed so that, on receiving a message, the latter is placed in memory and so that the hands (4, 5) abandon their time-indicating function in order to display, by coming into superposition (4', 5'), the call number which issued the message. <IMAGE>



1. a timepiece including a timekeeper for displaying at least one hour and the minute by means of needles (4, 5) surmounting a dial (80) surrounded by a bezel (7), a receiver (64, 101) capable of receiving paging messages by broadcasting, receiving triggered by the composition on telephone set of at least two call numbers determined and distinct, a memory (103) for storing said calls, an acoustic transducer (8) report at least the arrival of a message and a control device (3) comprising at least one rod (grams) fitted a crown (10) actuable manually, characterized in that at least the call numbers (81, 82, 83) are written in clear or encrypted form on the dial or the bezel and that means are provided so that at least [...] to receipt of a message is brought into memory and that at least one needle (4", 5') leaves its indicator function of due at show the called party which transmits said message.

2. timepiece according to claim 1, characterized in that at least upon receipt of a message the two needles of hour and minute (4) (5) leave their indicator function of the hour and minute to come show, superposed, the called party which transmits said message.

3. timepiece according to claim 1 or claim 2, characterized by the fact that the call numbers (81, 82, 83) or their encoded form are affixed to a removable bezel (7), to enable indicia according to the desire of the person wearing the timepiece.

4. timepiece according to claim 2, characterized in that the rod (9) being movable to at least three axial positions [...] the timekeeper is operable to time by rotation of the ring (10), a second position remains without effect and a third position [...] may be erased from memory by action exerted in the longitudinal direction of the rod. Timepiece according to claim 4, characterized by the was offered that the first stable position a first switch (32) and wherein rotation of the ring gear (10) causes alternating first and second (29) (30) conductive blades that come into contact with respective first and second (has) (b.) tracks [...] intermediate position between the first and the third position, and that the third position [...] a second switch (35) when pressure is exerted on the crown.

6. timepiece according to claim 1, characterized in that the control device (3) further comprises a first pusher (1) likely engage or trigger the receiver of broadcast messages and a second pusher (2) likely to dispose said receiver in a sleep state for which the received messages are stored within the at least one memory without being signaled by said transducer nor shown by said needles.

7. timepiece according to claim 4, characterized in that the control device has only one rod (9) fitted a crown (10) adapted to be operated manually and can engage, causing or disposing the receiver in a sleep state for which the received messages are stored within the at least one memory without being signaled by said acoustic transducer (8) nor shown by said needles (4, 5), the conditions of engagement (is), trigger (off state) or idle (LIS) being inscribed on the dial (80) or the bezel (7), the needles (4 ", 5") being able to further show the state in which the receiver is located.

8. timepiece according to claim 6 or claim 7, characterized by the fact that when the rod (9) is moved into its first stable position, rotation of the crown (10) at an angular speed slower than a predetermined speed allows the correction stepping up or down of the minute indicator (5) according to the direction of rotation of the ring gear, and rotation of the crown at an angular velocity greater than said determined speed allows the rapid correction plus and minus one of the indication of hours (4) by time zones integers according to the direction of rotation of the ring gear.

9. timepiece according to claim 6, characterized by the fact that if the receiver is in the engaged state (is), the indication of the incoming message shown with Los needles is accompanied by an acoustic signal during a predetermined period of time, after which the needles (4, 5) return to their position of time indication, said message recorded remaining in the memory.

Timepiece according to claim 9, characterized by the fact that if the ring (10) is pressed into its third unstable position before said period of time has elapsed, the message is deleted from the memory and the needles return to their position of time indication.

11. Timepiece according to claim 6, characterized in that if said part indicates the time, the state of engagement (is), trigger (off state) or idle (LIS) wherein the receiver is located is signaled by an acoustic signal by pressing the ring into its third unstable position, each of said states being signaled by a different acoustic signal.

12. timepiece according to claim 6, characterized by the fact that in passing from the standby state (LIS) to the state of engagement (is) by [...] 684 143g a3 SiON film on the second pusher (2), the needles indicate successively the messages (81, 82, 83) which have been stored while the receiver was in the sleep state (LIS).

13. Timepiece according to claim 7, characterized by the fact that by bringing the rod (9) in its third unstable position by a first pressure (" 10) on the crown for a period greater than a period determined, we move from the tripped state (off state) in the tripped state (is), by a second pressure of the engaged state (is) to the sleep state (LIS), by a third pressure from the standby state (LIS) the tripped state (off state), and so on.

14. Timepiece according to claim 7, characterized by the fact that if the receiver is in the engaged state (is), the indication of the incoming message shown by the needles is accompanied by an acoustic signal during a predetermined period of time, after which the needles return to their position of time indication, said message recorded remaining in the memory. Timepiece according to claims 13 and 14, characterized by the fact that if the ring is pressed (<10) in its third position [...] over a period less than the period of time before said period of time has elapsed, the message is deleted from the memory and the needles (4, 5) return to their position of the time display.

16. Timepiece according to claim 13, characterized by the fact that there is a transition from the sleep state (LIS) state-[...] (is) by two successive (" 10) exerted on the crown each for a period greater than the period of, the needles (4, 5) indicating successively messages (81) which have been stored while the receiver was in the sleep state (LIS).

17. Timepiece according to claim 13, characterized in that if said part indicates the time, the state of engagement (is), trigger (off state) or idle (LIS) wherein the receiver is present is indicated by the needles (4 ", 5") that show in overlapping, the corresponding indicium affixed on the bezel (7) or the dial (80), if pressure (<10) is exerted on the crown (10) for a period less than said predetermined time period.

18. timepiece according to claim 7, characterized by the fact that the dial (80) or the bezel (7) further carries a first indication of the voltage of the battery supplying the receiver (beats) and/or a second indication of the quality of the signal received by the receiver [...] (therein) and the needles (4% 5") show the first or second indicator as to whether the battery voltage or signal quality is insufficient.
