SYMPATHETIC TIMEPIECE ASSEMBLY

A method for permanent time setting of a sympathetic watch (200) by a sympathetic clock (100) forming a sympathetic assembly (1000) with the watch (200) which includes an hour display (4) and a minute display (5), a reference position of which will be defined, and the time-setting is executed only at request by action of a user on a control means (300) included in the clock (100) or the watch (200), or automatically periodically controlled by the clock (100), and, to perform the time setting, the clock (100) drives the displays (4; 5) of the watch backwards, in the counter-clockwise direction, with a sufficiently long stroke to ensure that the displays (4; 5) pass through the reference position; or the clock controls means of the watch (200) which are disposed so as to ensure the displacement of the displays to the reference position by means of heart-pieces.
