Abstract:
     The multi-function watch ( 1 ) includes a magnetic sensor assembly associated with its electronic circuits. The hands ( 7 to 9 ) of its display are activated by electric motors to indicate the time in a time mode and directions in a compass mode. In order to indicate simultaneously the direction of north and another pre-selected direction, particularly a heading to be followed, in a clear manner avoiding any risk of confusion between these two directions, the direction of north (N) is shown in real time by the hour ( 7 ) and minute ( 8 ) hands, aligned opposite each other to form one long hand like that of a conventional compass, whereas the direction (C) corresponding to the heading to be followed is simultaneously shown by the second hand ( 9 ), forming the desired angle (A) with the two aligned hands. In compass mode, the heading value is visible on a digital display ( 13 ), which has other functions in other modes.
