Disclosed is a timepiece blocking device including first and second mobile parts kinematically connected to one another, the first mobile part including a drive device, the second mobile part including a stopping device; a rotating drive member turning in a single direction and cooperating with the drive device to displace the first mobile part, and thus the second mobile part, alternately in opposite directions; and a rotating blocking member tensioned and cooperating with the stopping device to be blocked by the second mobile part and released at determined times by the displacements of the second mobile part. Cooperation between the rotating blocking member and stopping device immobilizes the mobile parts when the rotating drive member does not cooperate with the drive device. In normal operation, the rotating drive member contacts the first mobile part only when cooperating with the drive device, i.e. over less than 60% of one revolution of the rotating drive member.

The horological movement includes a mechanical resonator and an escapement including an escapement wheel, which has a plurality of teeth, and an anchor formed by a stick and two arms having respectively two mechanical pallets likely to come into contact, when the anchor is subject to an alternative movement, with any of the teeth according to the angular position of the escapement wheel. To avoid damage to the escapement during rocking of the anchor while the escapement wheel is positioned in an unfavourable angular position, the anchor is arranged, during the rocking of this anchor, to be able to bend being subjected to an elastic deformation. The anchor has an elastic capacity between each of the two mechanical pallets and a fork of the anchor, enabling it to absorb elastically, during the elastic deformation, a maximum mechanical energy that the mechanical resonator can have during the normal functioning of the horological movement.
