A mechanical horological movement (1) including at least one barrel system (2) for driving a set of wheels and power reserve detector. The detector (10) includes a control wheel (3) disposed opposite the cage of the barrel system (2) and is rotated by a complementary wheel (8) at the differential output to determine a power reserve level. An aperture (13) has a first end (21) to define a complete charge of the barrel system and a second end (22) to define a complete discharge. A lever (4) is rotatably mounted about a lever axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the control wheel. A contact element (5) disposed in the aperture contacts the second end during a zero power reserve indication. A portion of the lever contacts a component of the movement to stop its operation when power reserve indication is at zero.

A timepiece with a striking mechanism having a detent ratchet cooperating with a passing strike actuation click controlled by a movement or a repeater click operable by a user, including an uncoupling lever preventing access of the click to the ratchet under the action of a reversing lever operable by a hand-setting stem, or by a main strike function or tune selection control member, or by a stopping mechanism, and including a safety device for preventing release during a strike mode or tune selection, arranged to prevent the release of any strike function by the movement or by a user, and which includes a release-prevention lever, the pivoting of which, under action on the main control member, moves any click away from the detent ratchet.

Timepiece with a movement driving an output wheel set, a passing strike or minute repeater mechanism, including a strike drive wheel set including a release ratchet with which cooperates a click for execution of a strike function, a strike uncoupling lever for moving any click away from the strike wheel set, including a first lever carrying the click and its spring, the output wheel set activating a second lever, the pivoting of which causes the first lever to pivot, the striking mechanism includes a torque smoothing jumper, which is returned by a first spring into abutment on the output wheel set, in order to use, when the second lever is not in mesh with the output wheel set, an equivalent torque to that which it uses when meshed with this output wheel set.
