Setting mechanism of a watch

摘要

The setting mechanism of a watch includes a winding stem and a clutch wheel which can be moved selectively either rotationally or axially by said winding stem for control of one or more setting levers or wheels. The setting levers or wheels are disposed on the opposite side of said winding stem from the dial plate of the watch, thereby making it possible to center the winding stem in the thickness direction of the watch and to reduce the over-all thickness of the watch.
