A control member (130) is capable of moving in rotation about the axis of revolution (X-X) of a control stem (120) between a plurality of angular positions and a protrusion (123) is configured such that the rotation of the control member (130) modifies the angular position of the protrusion (123) about the axis of revolution (X-X) and relative to the horological movement (1).

A mechanical connection device, in particular a mechanical connection device for a timepiece or a mechanical transmission device for a timepiece, includes a first part having a first area with at least a first micro-cavity; and a second part having a second area with at least a second micro-cavity, the first and second areas being in contact with one another in a mechanical connection configuration.

A zeroing device (200), including a first zeroing unit (71), which consists of a zeroing lever (12) having a zeroing lever arm (12a) and a zeroing lever latch (12b), wherein the zeroing lever latch (12b) has a first end (13) and a second end (14). The zeroing device is characterized by a second zeroing unit (72) that is arranged at an offset to the first zeroing unit (71) in a Z coordinate direction (Z) and is in operative connection with the first zeroing unit (71). The second zeroing unit (72) may also include a pendulum rod (31), a hinge support (34), and a joint rod (35), wherein the pendulum rod (31) is rotatably attached to a cam (33) and to the joint rod (35) and wherein the joint rod (35) is rotatably attached to the hinge support (34) and rests against an eccentric (36) of the zeroing lever (12).

A control crown for a timepiece, capable of cooperating, in order to maneuver a control rod, with a middle including a recess along an axis receiving a tube included in the crown, which includes a crown body capable of rotating covering both the rod and the tube, which includes a hollow to allow the rod to pass and/or be guided in rotation, the crown includes a closing cap fastened to the tube in a fixed angular position relative to the middle by the cooperation between indexing device of the tube and complementary indexing device of the closing cap, to axially enclose the crown body between the middle and the closing cap.

A chronograph mechanism includes an energy accumulator, a regulating system, and a gear train connecting the energy accumulator to the regulating system. The energy accumulator is formed by a strip-spring and includes a device for driving the gear train arranged to regulate the torque delivered by the strip-spring.

A device (100) to temporarily stop the operation of a mechanical watch, in particular when time resetting the watch. The device includes at least three levers (4) assembled and disposed in a circle on a plate of the mechanical horological movement. At least one action member (2) of the levers (4) is provided to switch them together from a rest mode to an active mode to act on a stop lever (17) of the device. The stop lever is arranged to temporarily stop a balance spring (14) of the mechanical movement. The activation of the stop lever (17) is performed by at least one of the levers (4) regardless of the position of the stop lever (17).
