A timepiece display mechanism includes a rotating display member for displaying a magnitude other than the current time of day, or a position in a cycle. The rotating display member is integral in rotation with a snail cooperating with the beak of a striking rack included in a striking mechanism integrated in or juxtaposed with this display mechanism, to strike a numerical value characteristic of this magnitude, or respectively of this position. The display mechanism is more particularly a chronograph mechanism including a seconds snail integral with a main chronograph wheel, for counting the seconds and cooperating with a seconds rack, and a minute snail integral with a minute counter wheel for counting the minutes and cooperating with a minute rack, in order, after timing a duration, to strike the minutes and seconds of the timed duration.

A mechanical watch movement includes a striking mechanism with a first cannon equipped with a first cannon pinion having at least one snail intended to cooperate with a sensor device of the striking mechanism. The watch also includes a second cannon equipped with a second cannon pinion and carrying the minute hand. The first cannon pinion engages with a going train of the movement and a minute wheel. The minute wheel engages with the first cannon pinion. A motion-work pinion engages with an hour wheel coaxial with the second cannon. The minute wheel is mounted on a lever arranged to pivot about a fixed point. An angular position of the lever may be adjusted by pivoting in such a way as to permit regulation of the position of the minute wheel with respect to the first cannon pinion and to the second cannon pinion.

The invention relates to a striking mechanism, comprising striking hammers, gongs, each being arranged to produce a sound under the action of a hammer associated therewith, actuators for actuating the associated hammer, a striking control device, and at least one striking drive device arranged to engage with the control device. The invention further comprises at least one mechanism for striking multiples of n hours, n2, kinematically connected to said striking drive device, said mechanism for striking multiples of n hours being arranged to actuate the hammers to strike the multiples of groups of n hours according to a specific striking when said control device has been actuated.

Striking mechanism for a watch including: an hour snail driven by a movement, a strike wheel set including a detent ratchet and a repeating rack pinion, a pivoting hour-rack for reading this snail and driving this pinion, a click set in motion at each passing strike to drive this detent ratchet, with a mode selector mechanism for selection by the user of a particular strike mode, among distinct modes including a silent mode, defining the angular position of a cam having an external profile, wherein, in silent mode, the largest radius pushes back a beak of a silencing lever, to orient it into a position where its main arm moves this click away from this ratchet in order to disable every passing strike.
