Claims (11)

1. A watch display assembly comprising:

a watch support element,

wherein the support element is arranged to rotate on two perpendicular axes,

wherein the watch support element is a ring pivotably mounted between two uprights, and

wherein the two uprights are secured to a rotating plate arranged in a base.

2. The display assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the single motor drives a toothed wheel which meshes with a peripheral toothing, which extends over the entire perimeter of the rotating plate, and in that the rotating plate carries a rotating arbour on which there is fixedly mounted a toothed wheel, which rolls over a fixed peripheral toothing arranged along the inner periphery of the base, the toothed wheel driving a first conical pinion which is secured to the rotating arbour and which in turn drives a second conical pinion mounted on a common arbour with a pulley, over which a belt is passed, the belt passing over a second pulley mounted on a pin end which carries the support ring.

3. The display assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the rotating plate is driven in rotation by a first motor housed in the base of the display assembly, and in that the watch support ring is driven by a second motor mounted on the rotating plate.

4. The display assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the motors are powered by the electric power grid or by means of a battery charged by solar cells.

5. The display assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the first motor drives a belt housed within the thickness of one of the uprights and which is passed, at the top end of the upright, over a pin end used for assembling the ring on the upright, and over a pulley integral with the arbour of the first motor and arranged at the base of the upright, and in that the second motor drives a toothed wheel which in turn meshes with a peripheral toothing arranged over the entire circumference of the rotating plate.

6. The display assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the ring and the plate are driven in rotation by a single motor housed in the base of the display assembly.

7. The display assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the motors is powered by the electric power grid or by means of a battery charged by solar cells.
