A mechanical timer for setting a snooze time for an alarm mechanism controlling a mechanical actuator cooperating with a striking mechanism controlled by a timepiece movement, including a first control able to be actuated at a first moment by a user during the playing of an alarm chime to disengage the actuator and momentarily stop the chime, and including a timer arranged to automatically cause the alarm chime to play again at a second moment, after a predefined duration from the first moment, this timer including a second control able to be actuated by a user to set this predefined duration, and a release cam indirectly controlled by the first control and arranged to control the pivoting of a hammer lever, which, depending on its angular position, releases or locks the actuator to allow or respectively prevent the playing of an alarm chime.

A wakeup device includes an alarm clock with a cup that rests on a load cell. The load cell measures the weight of the cup, thereby detecting the presence or absence of a liquid in the cup. At night if the load cell detects the absence of a liquid in the cup, the device will produce signals that can be disabled by adding liquid to the cup. When the alarm clock goes off to awaken the individual, the alarm clock is snoozed and alarms are disabled for a short period when the load cell detects that the cup has been picked up. To turn the alarm off completely, the individual must consume or dispose of the liquid in the cup and put it back on the load cell so that it detects the presence of an empty cup.
